@enigmatically There you go again, with this "serious" physical withdrawal bullshit. The only withdrawal symptoms that you get from caffeine are possibly a headache, and feeling a bit sluggish for a few days. These are NOT "serious" withdrawals. I really wish you would go away at this point, because you sound like an imbecile, and I don't think anyone is taking you seriously at this point.

the side effects are not nearly as bad as she makes it sound

Also, talk therapy is horseshit :)

According to numerous studies MDMA is safer and less addictive than marijuana (look in to the lancet study on this matter). Not to mention it is orders of magnitude safer than alcohol.

"If you're gonna have a pro-drug argument, start the argument where it starts: I have the right to do what ever the hell I want to my own body, if it kills me slowly, happy for me, fuck you, "clack clack" (miming a pump-action shotgun) stop me!"

@Pam4Rob i mean biggest not bestest typo. anyhow medical marijuanna proven can lower your sugar level for those who have daibetes. instead of taking insulin shot everyday poking yourself with a needle, you can just easily smoke a joint instead or eat some enibles. weed is a magical drug dont be ignorant google it and look it up for yourself.

@yeah1104 - umm really? Im a heavy coffee drinker, and can go days or weeks without drinking it, I feel sluggish and get a headache, but no delusions or hallucinations, I seriously think you are making that shit up..lol come on get real



[Pam4Rob]

@HighGradeMed420 - ok first off, if you want people to take you seriously, don't use the word "bestest" to describe something or someone.. that is not a word.. and second.. while I do agree that Marijuana could help a lot of people medicinally, I really don't think it would have any baring on people with diabetes.

The true of the matter is the number one drug that Kills the most American each year are the prescription drugs....the F.D.A is the Bestest drug dealer in the country. most of the diease we have today can be treated with cannbis. but F.D.A banned that so they can sell their own drugs to make money. what if i tell some one who have daibetic....hey you dont need to take insulin shots everyday and all those pills. all u need its a joint. F.D.A will lose millions from those ppl.

@mwhitten77 actually, if you look into it, a regular-somewhat heavy caffeine users can get other withdrawal symptoms like intense cravings, inability to sleep, tiredness, and hallucinations/delusions, and several other more serious withdrawal symptoms, it only lasts 9 days but that's still very something to ba taken seriously, and if you don't believe me, someone who, on day 3, had a demonic face on the ceiling laughing and screaming at me and not going away till I slammed 2 cokes, look it up
