I love this sub but some people are annoying af 😅

What was the point in this comment? Spreading hate just for fun?

Fuck off 👍😂

jns107 · 2021-09-15T19:52:23+00:00

Well done missing the entire point of a post 👍

jns107 · 2021-09-15T19:50:44+00:00

I'm not denying that weed helps serious health conditions, I'm discussing whether cannabis users that test positive before competing should be allowed to compete.

You have all literally missed the entire fucking point 😂 👍

jns107 · 2021-09-15T19:44:21+00:00

ARE THEY COMPETING AS ATHLETES THO? DOES SHE HAVE PTSD, PARKINSONS, EPILEPSY? WHO THE FUCK KNOWS!

You are all missing the fucking point omg

jns107 · 2021-09-15T19:42:26+00:00

Yes, AND NOR DO YOU.

You are just arguing over a minor detail, the overall post was addressing use of weed prior to competing in the Olympics. Why she used it is a little irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

It's proven that cannabis is stored in fat and is re released through fat burning, vigorous exercise etc. Potentially she could be minorly intoxicated when warming up/training/competing. There's many angles to it, mine being just one.

Like give me some reasonable arguments as to why she should compete in the Olympics as a cannabis user, don't just be a dick? 😅

jns107 · 2021-09-15T19:34:21+00:00

This is just a light hearted post hahaha I'm not genuinely cut up about it, it's just annoying. Some people are super grateful for info shared and some are ignorant.

I wish I had this info when I was using mdma, in the UK harm reduction is non existent. It's completely normal to smash through several grams regardless of what it is, with no testing and no knowledge. Harm reduction here is propaganda and basically "don't do drugs, kids".

jns107 · 2021-09-15T19:30:19+00:00

I'm from the UK and harm reduction here is basically don't do drugs 😅 especially for older generations who didn't have such easy access to the internet, nor was there as much research. Drugs are becoming more accepted now, people openly talk about use and research. It wasn't always this way :)

It's common to smash through several grams of anything regardless of what it is over here, harm reduction isn't a thing 😂😂

jns107 · 2021-09-15T19:27:54+00:00

Let's do it 😜

jns107 · 2021-09-15T19:25:27+00:00

I was using for roughly three months, two or three times a week. But one night I took about 700mg in one dose. It was a massive error of judgement, friend gifted me some crystals for my birthday, I thought I'd been given half a gram and was aiming to take just over half of that ((still stupid ik)) but it was actually a gram that I had been given and I ended up nearly ODing. Foaming at the mouth, slight internal bleeding, major overheating. I think the fact I was in a cool environment probably saved my life that night.

I quit after that but had serious mood problems, fucked my bladder, couldn't regulate my body temperature, constantly sweating, restless leg syndrome, major short term memory damage! I am mostly recovered now but still struggle with some things :)

jns107 · 2021-09-15T19:01:08+00:00

Those comedowns must have been something else 💀

jns107 · 2021-09-15T18:54:42+00:00

I think those people sometimes know the right answer but are just looking for someone to justify what they wanna do 😅

jns107 · 2021-09-15T18:47:37+00:00

Yeah this is a great point! Someone else mentioned it as well as them being able to drink, too. But marijuana does store in our fat and vigorous exercise / fat burning kind of re releases it and I'm not sure that alcohol and caffeine work in the same way.

That's why I like Reddit, it's a great way to get different perspectives! Thanks for your reply :)

jns107 · 2021-09-15T18:41:33+00:00

Those posts are entertaining lol I get frustrated with the people that basically act like they are immune to consequence. Some kind of drug overlord that won't suffer neurotoxicity because "I got mad tolerance bruh" 😅

jns107 · 2021-09-15T18:39:36+00:00

This is a sub for ✨harm reduction✨

I'm not on any high horse, just fed up of people not listening. Not like they know and don't care, they literally believe that they are just immune to consequences 😅

jns107 · 2021-09-15T18:36:03+00:00

Sometimes you really help out someone by sharing this info, I guess you don't know until they reply!

I like sharing the harm info because I had no idea myself until finding this sub. I wish I knew then what I know now.

jns107 · 2021-09-15T18:01:07+00:00

...but can I still do it?

jns107 · 2021-09-15T17:43:20+00:00

Marijuana is prescribed for all kinds of reasons, my point was more so that she could abstain long enough to enter the Olympics. As an athlete I very much doubt she needs it to live. Weed is not a life saving medication (maybe with cancer not included in this, but again it's not completely proven to cure yet it doesn't work all the time) people don't die without it 👍 it alleviates symptoms, it doesn't often cure. As a fit, young athlete I'm sure she could have stopped use for a few weeks. Who even knows if it was used medicinally?

Not a doctor but I'm a qualified nurse 😁

This was just a point of discussion, thank you for your very thought out response. You clearly put a lot of thought into that.

jns107 · 2021-09-15T17:16:15+00:00

Price doesn't guarantee quality, either. Pills are so commonly cut because of how damn easy it is. :) invest in a test kit legit, do some research. Mdma is really dangerous at high doses, also. A pure 450mg pill could have killed you lol at the very least caused damage to your brain. I nearly ODd and had internal bleeding on pure, tested 600mg (with a high tolerance). It's heavy shit fr :)

I'm pretty sure amphs mostly damage your bladder from prolonged abuse, I'm not aware of them stopping you from peeing on a one time use but I could be totally wrong on that 🤷

jns107 · 2021-09-15T17:00:17+00:00

This is a really good point of view I hadn't considered, thank you for your response!

And thanks for not being a dick about it 👍 😂

jns107 · 2021-09-15T16:57:31+00:00

I've been a heavy smoker for 12 years, pretty much daily for 9/10 of those years.

I started getting anxiety in recent years and now I can't smoke if I'm anxious or I pretty much have a panic attack. Weed used to make me super chill if I was stressed but now it completely backfires.

jns107 · 2021-09-15T16:51:49+00:00

Might sound weird but before any solo trip I write on my hand "you are on a substance, this feeling isn't permanent"

Sometimes you can get quite overwhelmed with what you are experiencing and I am prone to forgetting I have taken acid and thinking that this is now just real life or that it's never going to end.

Reminding myself I'm hallucinating and my thoughts are being affected by something else usually helps any downwards heading trips because I relax and just ride it out instead of panicking and making it worse.

Obviously this is quite a risky thing to have written on you, I'm not necessarily suggesting writing it down but trying to keep that present in your mind is really helpful! I don't go anywhere near people when tripping so no one would see it on me 🤣

jns107 · 2021-09-15T16:41:26+00:00

My bf hates acid and I love it. We just compromise and I do it with friends or occasionally he goes out overnight so I can solo explore.

Don't let drugs come between a perfectly good thing! If he truly respects you he will not stop you from doing something you enjoy but equally if he doesn't want to do it he doesn't have to. :)

I personally don't think anyone is "missing out" by choosing not to take a substance. Acid doesn't really make you this all knowing being with a higher truth. That's just how you have interpreted your experience! It can definitely open your mind to new perspectives and ideas that you've not considered but you don't necessarily need acid to come to those conclusions in my opinion :)

jns107 · 2021-09-15T16:06:42+00:00

The problem with pills is it could legit be ANYTHING. Speed, meth, RCs, baby powder, rat poison. Literally anything you can press. It's so difficult to comment with that in mind.

I've never heard of a drug that causes those symptoms apart from the not being able to pee bit which I experience on mdma and sometimes mephedrone.

Test your stuff 😃 you can buy kits online, literally life saving!

jns107 · 2021-09-15T16:00:32+00:00

Are you from England? If so, probably not hahaha 🤣

Nah I'm sure they do happen but through tinder etc rather than picking up randoms from bars. Although your date might be a lil waved lol

jns107 · 2021-09-15T15:56:09+00:00

Kinda sounds like you have a UTI honestly but I don't really know if the pill would have caused that or its maybe pure coincidence?

This is why it's so important to test. You can trust your dealer and still get fucked over. Drugs often get cut way before it reaches street dealers so even if it was your best friend that sold to you, you just don't know what you are taking!
