Sheesh Keith. If the last 40 years of American sitcoms have taught us anything, it's you don't ask women, when is the baby due or are you on your period? Man 101.

What's an equivalent? When you think men are being irrational ask them if they have a hard-on? Nah, doubt they'd care. No enough historical baggage.

Or you don't care what people think about you, even if it's something you could be working on. If specific comments are always bouncing off you, it could just be arrogance on your part.

I also object to the use of the word "druggie," and "hippie" to a lesser degree. I would have the same objection to referring to police officers as "coppers," flight attendants as "stewardesses," or black people as "negroes." It just makes you sound old and/or ignorant. Or like you sit on your neighbor's stoop.

Druggie : Drugs :: Drunk : Alcohol

Calling someone a drunk isn't nice, neither is calling someone a druggie.

Evangelism of your substance, (weed, alcohol, etc), is off-putting to those that do not partake.

Chemda had 7 years and 5 months since the last Gilmore Girls episode aired. Ruining a brand new movie is not the same thing.

It's not nice to purposefully ruin something for someone but the longer the stretch of time that passes, the more there's a chance that things will get ruined.

It's pretty much the same thing as that guy getting pissed that talking about jerking off during his girls delivery on a podcast might get back to his girl.

He gave them this tincture x amount of times a day and when they were at their next doctor's appt, the cancer was just about gone if not completely gone. Having the docs there confirming the results is a big help to his cause. It's pretty interesting stuff.

Running From The Cure is his film documenting just a few of his patients' stories.

MMMmmagreed! Marijuana is GREAT for flu, stomach/GI distress, hangovers, colds, insomnia, anorexia, pain, muscle cramps, cancer, aids/hiv, certain seizures, and so many other things. While it can help with an immediate panic/anxiety I found out this year it can intensify long term depression and anxiety attacks. Keith on MNIK about druggies and anxiety attacks is a little unfair; if you're a speed freak or into meth, junk, coke, etc then you probably will have fewer anxiety attacks...until the drug is out of your system.

And while I don't recomend ANYONE do this, if you do drugs acid/speed/mdma is the TRIMURTI of drug use; THAT is a good fuckin' time.

blahblahblah

Marijuana is not the miracle drug that many point it out to be. While there are several benefits from marijuana use, there are still negative side effects that people who smoke either don't admit to or downplay. While weed is technically not addictive because there is no chemical withdrawal if you stop smoking, there is a definite chance that people can develop a dependency and abuse it. The dependency on weed can result in social, psychological, and physical impairments. If you use weed as part of your daily routine or is your "go to" to for any ailments you have, you do develop a dependency regardless if you perceive the dependency to be harmful or not. That being said, moderate weed use has been proven to have less negative side effects than alcohol and can be enjoyed without forming a dependency. It is only when weed has become such an integrated part of your daily life that there is a serious chance of forming a dependence.

I'm sure that means you have no problems with drugs or alcohol by the way. You sound like you're doing great.

But if you're not, definitely take it out on me. That's the best way to heal.

Fact still remains your diagnosis tends to be female specific.
And ironically I am "healing" right now, so dammit maybe you are onto something....but I have yet to hear oh let's say Xerx labelled the same as Chemda or Justy (no offense Xerx!)
