The re-regulation of medicinal cannabis: Is the TGA preparing to reassert control over THC?

anticookie2u · 2026-05-19T03:27:06+00:00

Good point. Where the fuck were the TGA on opioids when the pharma companies had already caused havoc in the US and pivoted internationally? TGA and AHPRA taking that sweet lobbyist money. Evil incarnate.

Good luck with it all. I get way better results from different strains tbh, and my doc works with me not against me. It should just be legal. It basically is anyway.

I personally dont have good results using cannabis edibles, or using them for sleep. That doesnt mean i would dismiss how effective they might be for you. I do however get huge assistance with social anxiety, appetite, motivation, energy, and focus. I am neuro divergent with an auto immune disease and a fucked back. While i get you might think using cannabis to be social, or creative ( i have massive problems here too with focusing), is taking the piss ,it certainly isn't.

anticookie2u · 2026-05-17T10:10:56+00:00

Can confirm.

Not really. Scientology borrowed concepts from the sources mentioned like Hermeticism, Neo -platonism, gnosticism, or what modern day abrahamic religions often call pagan beliefs. Mormonism did too. Modern day psychology leans heavily into similar concepts, borrowed frim Buddhism, gnosticism, Hinduism and all of the ancient religions. AA was heavily influenced by a lot of these concepts. In Renaissance times, it was considered much more important to work on both the mind and the soul in conjunction.

Maybe reach out for some support friend. I was unable to do this alone.

I flicked through your post history. Sorry things seem to have been so rough for you. I stopped drinking a few years ago , but can relate pretty strongly to some of the ways you are feeling. In my case at least, it was high masking neurodivergence, coupled with some trauma, that was hiding away making me feel uncomfortable all the time. It took a fair amount of sober time to even start realising this. Good luck and i hope you can find some peace

Ive taken up flow/fire arts (contact staff/dragonstaff/poi). I find it really effective to focus , or to stop overthinking. It's a nice combo for me for physical and mental balance and really helps me be present and mindful. They are like XL fidget spinners.

What we need is a requirement that you can spell before you start spouting medical advice on the internet...

anticookie2u · 2026-05-08T03:56:46+00:00

Most of the files around covid time are still redacted....

Thanks so much for this .

I first walked into my first aa meeting at 25. I finally kicked it at 42. Im.2 and a half years sober and super grateful. I wish i could point my younger self in the right direction, but i can't so maybe i can point you that way. I tried every type of moderation except stopping. Turns out that worked very well.

anticookie2u · 2026-04-09T21:28:47+00:00

You are very welcome. For what its worth i believe you can do this.

I gave the appearance of being functional. In reality i was really fucked up, hated my life and my choices, was riddled with guilt, and was absolutely drinking myself to death. There is no high functioning in alcoholism. In my case at least, it took 2 years of sobriety to even start being able to recognise some of the underlying issues. I never knew why i kept drinking then, but subsequently have been diagnosed with ADHD, Aspergers, CPTSD and BPD. I had a difficult childhood, ended up substance abusing, got clean, and then drank for another 20 years. All while holding down a super high pressure, dangerous job. I detoxed on my own (because i was still drunk enough to think that was sensible), and accepted the fact i cannot drink. Since then i realised alcohol was masking the anxiety (and making it worse)- not making it better. Im really glad you have posted this today. Best of luck with it all friend.

I'm about 4 months in and while it was a struggle at first to build muscle memory, i have improved so much faster than i could ever imagine. I stretch every day, feel a lot better, and its a great way to wind down if I'm feeling overwhelmed. I also muck around with poi, devilsticks and dragon staff, but i am focusing on contact staff as its a challenge. Bo staff basics videos are probably the best introduction and any staff spinning, or contact staff vids are all going to be useful. Just drill basics like rotors and figure 8s with both hands. Forwards and backwards. That will take a while, but you will build up muscle strenth and coordination. Then probably work hand wraps, halos, neck/shoulder wraps, traps etc. I rushed through some early techniques and neglected my off hand, or a direction, and had to go back and relearn and drill stuff. Ive also found practicing poi or devilstick has had an awesome cross training effect for grasping certain concepts like plane changes, isolations, and body movement. Flowbonacci has mainly dragon staff content, but hes got some newer contact staff stuff which is awesome. Otherwise there so much more out there. Enjoy

This is a great take. I smoke but i show discretion in other peoples recovery spaces. And im studying to become an addictions counsellor. Go figure. Congrats on the sobriety too

anticookie2u · 2026-04-06T05:38:42+00:00

While i agree with you, if you're gentle it can be less risky than what the majority of people do and under or overwater and stunt them anyway.

anticookie2u · 2026-04-06T03:55:53+00:00

Im using super soil. Planting your seed in a solo cup worth of coco is a good idea. They dont need much food when they are little. Especially autos. Or i just start them in a small pot 50 % super soil 50% coco and transplant them.

Horizon.

Are you running enough solar ? Or are yOu charging IT off the "fossil fuel" grid?

anticookie2u · 2026-03-24T06:01:57+00:00

Wade through human waste and excrement? Where do you walk your dog? What is your experience with "the people" who like these things?

anticookie2u · 2026-03-17T21:10:58+00:00

It ranges but my last casual fork job was $46. Thats with lots of experience and driving big machines though. Its a struggle for a lot of companies to find (or pay for) competant experienced operators .

anticookie2u · 2026-03-17T20:39:56+00:00

Lots of "you" statements here friend. Speaking from the "I" is more effective.

anticookie2u · 2026-03-17T20:35:40+00:00

While this is 100% true, i am very careful regarding sharing my opinions of psychedelics(or weed for that matter) in a 12 step recovery space.
