Members alphanguy74 Posted October 24, 2013 Members Share Posted October 24, 2013 The biggest help for me with migraines is an ice pack on the back of the neck, whichever side is being affected. It helps quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted October 24, 2013 Members Share Posted October 24, 2013 Vaporizer? That's ingenious! I didn't know that existed. Because I was always worried that if God Forbid... I ever got cancer, I would need something for nausea I'm sure... but would NOT want to smoke it. I wondered if brownies would work. But vaporizer sounds like it would be the ticket if it ever becomes neccessary. The big thing I don't like about pot is that it smells like a flower bed the morning after it's been hit by a killing frost. Not a pleasant smell.

Members marceline Posted October 24, 2013 Members Share Posted October 24, 2013 Edibles come in a lot of different forms. Brownies might be bad for nausea but a shortbread cookie or gingersnap made with cannabis would probably go down well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vote4llama Posted October 24, 2013 Members Share Posted October 24, 2013 The one time I had a brownie I threw up. The prices of vaporizers range from cheap little gadgets to high-end expensive models. It's kind of a science lol. Since it seems you would only use with a serious illness, I hope you never have to ingest in any way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 24, 2013 Members Share Posted October 24, 2013 Be careful with pot brownies if you have pets. My dog was acting very strangely and it scared the hell out of me. She was shaking and blinking/flinching like somebody was spitting in her face. Then I remembered that my brother's girlfriend asked if I had seen her brownie she brought home from work. She joked that she wouldn't normally mind if I ate it, but that it was a pot brownie. We wondered if one of the dogs got it (one of my dogs once jumped up on the counter and ate a huge styrofoam tray of raw chicken breasts). I put two and two together and jumped on Google. Thankfully they said nothing horrible would happen, the effects would soon pass. But like I said, scared the [!@#$%^&*] out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted October 24, 2013 Members Share Posted October 24, 2013 Although I hate cigarettes, I LOVE groovy cigarette commercials! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR-Wn5ND7Mg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted October 24, 2013 Members Share Posted October 24, 2013 Something similar happened to a friend of mine except it was one of his kids who got into the cookies he baked. He has three sons so he just kept going to their rooms every five minutes to see which one it was. When he found the youngest laying on the floor staring at the ceiling, he knew.

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted October 24, 2013 Members Share Posted October 24, 2013 Alphaguy74: Speaking of Virginia Slims, it was actually a VS commercial that was the final cigarette commercial to air in America, on January 1st, 1971, right after midnight during Johnny Carson. The model featured in it was Veronica Hamel, who was later on Hill Street Blues. There's your tidbit of the day. And this is old school RealPlayer, but this old Salem classic HAS to be acknowledged: http://www.80stvthemes.com/ra/SALEM.ra It's funny, I can bring myself to listen to old cigarette ads, but I can't BEAR to watch them. If I had grown up in the 60s, I would have been sticking my head in a toilet during every commercial break. What can I say? I'm squeamish. That said, the Flintstones ads for Winston truly must be seen to be believed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvt8skgm2l8 ETA: That VS ad is dated as 1971. Is that the one I was talking about? If it aired on New Year's Day, it HAS to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sundance Posted November 4, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 4, 2013 I was in a discount store recently when a woman in front of me in the check-out line asked the cashier for a carton of cigartettes. I couldn't help hearing the price of that carton. It was over $50 !!

Members YRBB Posted November 5, 2013 Members Share Posted November 5, 2013 Ain't that the truth! A few days ago, the woman in front of me at QuickCheck paid 35 dollars for cigarettes and I was like . I can't imagine trying to sustain such a deadly & expensive habit. My mom does it, and I hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted November 5, 2013 Members Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'm not a smoker, and I've never even tried once. But both my parents smoked when I was younger, so I'm sure I've inhaled quite a bit anyway. I shudder now to think about how my clothes and my hair must have reeked of smoke back then. I hate that smell now, and can instantly tell when someone has been smoking. My father died much too young (47 years old) of cancer, and I'm sure the smoking played a big part in that.

Members Sundance Posted February 28, 2014 Author Members Share Posted February 28, 2014 For some interesting reading, click here ---> Why do people continue to smoke? I think that if every smoker that wanted to quit, did quit smoking, the tobacco companies would go out of business. I never started smoking. So, I never had to go through the difficult time of quitting. I think that if every smoker that wanted to quit, did quit smoking, the tobacco companies would go out of business.
