Smoking weed during pregnancy?
Heyy. What's up? My name's Rachel, let me tell you a brief story about myself which I believe may be of some Help to you... I am a lung cancer Survivor. I remember when I was diagnosed back in 2012, and they told me I had to quit otherwise I would not make it another 2 years. I told them, "If I'm going to die, I'd like to die Happy with a cigarette in my mouth". Stupid yes, but it's how I felt. I was stubborn, and did not believe that it could happen to me. I am only 32 years old, been smoking since I was 16... but the idea of Death at age 32 feels very foreign, almost surreal. However, when I began to notice a constant shortness of breath, and even coughing up blood- I decided something had to be done. I tried really hard to quit a couple of times, but could never resist the urges and temptation. Anyone who has ever tried quitting cold turkey, or by using one of those worthless patches/gums, will know what I'm talking about. I went and saw a specialist, a physician who is reputed to be very successful in helping people quit. Among other practical advise, he referred me to a World-class Vapor E-Cig @ https://tryvaporcigs.im .. It is an electronic cigarette that heats "liquid nicotine" into a Safe water vapor which you inhale. No toxic smoke. I was told by my physician that this is something the tobacco industry does not want us to know about. It smells Clean, leaving no odor... and gives that relaxing "nicotine fix" we get from the regular, mundane cigarette. Being odorless, it can be smoked anywhere- even indoors. I have social anxiety, so a problem I do have with it is people always approaching me; telling me how cool it looks and asking a million questions when I'm seen Vaping in malls or restaurants. But yeah, my condition seems to be getting much better since I quit "smoking". I believe they still send out a completely Free Trial kit, only asking that you cover their cost of shipping. Anyways, Take care! I hope I was of some help.. <3
I can tell you what happened to me. After having smoked weed everyday for five or six years in a row, one day I didn’t. What happened next was, I stopped getting high everyday. Or, put another way, nothing happened. I didn’t make a decision to quit. It just kind of happened.I had thought all the nonsense of “Reefer Madness” was behind us by the 1970s, but here we are in the twenty-first century, and it’s being revived by the rehab industry. We now hear, again, such nonsense as “marijuana is addictive”. It’s not.Now, some people develop compulsive behaviors around all sorts of things. You’ve no doubt heard about “sex addiction” and “shopping addiction”, but neither sex nor shopping are themselves addictive. But people can develop pathological relationships to all kinds of activities that are otherwise harmless, or even healthy - food, exercise, sex, etc…Although I’ve known many, many pot smokers over the years, I’ve never met anyone with a pathological relationship to it. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, but it’s got to be rare. This contrasts sharply with people I know who used heroin, which is addictive. Same with cocaine, which does not cause physical dependence, but which is known to cause compulsive behavior, including compulsive use.When I was young, if you didn’t know something, well, you just didn’t know. The best you could do was check out a book and read up on the topic - assuming such a book existed. Now, any question I have can be answered immediately by picking up my phone. You have a world of information at your fingertips - the Internet - but not all information is of equal value. Always consider the source of information, particularly on the topic of drugs. Discount information provided by those with a vested interest in prohibition, people who derive their paycheck through it, such as law enforcement. The rehab industry has an interest in promoting the idea that marijuana is dangerous and addictive. They rely on the court system to send customers their way through “diversion” programs, so they have to make the case that people busted with weed will also benefit from their programs. They also rely on misinformed parents sending their children to be “rehabilitated”. Take anything coming from them with a grain of salt.
Should i leave my husband because he won't stop smoking Marijuana.?
Many don't want to believe that marijuana can be addicting, but it can. So can caffeine, and sugar. I have a brother in law who threw his entire life away for around 25 years on that particular drug. It was only later, when he really tried to change, that he realized how addicted he was. He also found he had many things wrong deep down that he was ignoring by being high. It may be that your husband is addicted and can't truly stop. Maybe able to stop for a short period of time, but not long term. And who knows if he even wants too. Doesn't sound like it since he makes excuses like stress. Who doesn't have stress? Work, home, bills and life are all stressful. We can use substances to ignore our problems or face them head on. One very important thing to any relationship is to want the same things out of life. Sounds like you two had that going on but then a baby changed everything for you but didn't for him. And now you are both on very different pages. You could talk to him about going to some kind of rehab to help him stop doing drugs, there are outpatient programs so he wouldn't miss work. But the truth is, he won't stop until he really wants too. Even if he kinda wants too to keep you, it isn't want he really wants to do. Honestly, I know I would not stay in that marriage or situation. you are right to worry about your son and the environment. You also say he spends more on his drug of choice over responsibilities. Don't leave him with the hopes that he'll make the change or else you'll fall right back into this situation again. If he does work to change, wait one year of full change before you even consider taking him back. Anyone can make a change for several months, but most revert back. My ex was the same way, he's still smoking pot to this day, after his first and second wives left him over it. And now his third wife takes half his pay checks and they have separate lives in one house. She doesn't want to get divorced but she hates him too. He's now 47 years old and the same guy he was at age 20. I swear pot stunts a person from growing up. He's stopped many many many times, and been to rehab over 5 times and he never changed and never stopped. Good luck.
Smoking weed again after a long time?
Hi, how are u? I, also, haven't smoked any weed for a few months now because I quit cigarettes and every time I get stoned I get back to the cigs. Also, I once lost a job because of my inability to pass a urine test; it came back positive for the evil reefer. The place where I currently work does random tests on their employees and, for once, I have a job that I don't hate that pays relatively well. Weed did me a favor with respect to my last job that I was fired from in that my inability to pass their test forced me to get out there any get a better job. Now that I don't smoke weed or cigs not only do my lungs feel better than ever, but I save my weed and cig $ for other things. The less one smokes, the less $ spent on the smoke translates into the more $ for other interests not to mention the health benefits of quitting smoking since smoking anything be it weed, cigs, or whatever isn't good for ones' lungs. And the weed buzz can make one paranoid as hell sometimes. I've experienced that before. I said to myself "and I actually pay for this sensation of feeling like I'm gonna get busted?" Forget the reefer, and I'm not saying this from a moral standpoint; I just know that I feel so much better when I pull up to a license check and don't have to worry about the bag of weed or the bong, etc. You're likely to get paranoid from the weed or maybe you'll get caught buying or smoking it or be seen looking stoned. I hate it when I have to go somewhere and I'd forgotten and gotten stoned beforehand. The librarian or the lady at the bank can smell it on your shirt. Another thing, when I get hanging around the weed-crowd oftentimes that's about the time things come up missing around here. Be more selective with respect to those you choose to hang around with. "Friends" used to show up to smoke all my weed; a bunch of mooches who never buy it but always show up when they think you have some weed.
If it’s your first time in eight months, that means any traces of previous cannabis consumption (8 months and before) will be completely gone. That means last night’s smoke session won’t be compounded with any other times in the past you’ve smoked. You can treat this episode as a “first time”.First time, or infrequent users of marijuana can see traces of THC for up to about 30 days. To speed up the metabolizing process, you can use techniques of natural detoxification such as undertaking a rigorous exercise routine or drinking cranberry juice.I’m assuming you’re worried about passing a urine drug test. There’s an online app that predicts if THC will be detectable in your body based on your inputs. This app is based on data from thousands of marijuana users and their drug tests results.Marijuana Central | Marijuana Central
I quit smoking today but my husband does not support me!?
First and foremost congratulations on your first steps to a healthier lifestyle. I, myself have just recently quit smoking and it's not an easy task. I also live with a smoker who chose not to quit with me. However, I didn't get it flaunted in my face. It's sad that he doesn't support you even if he chooses not to quit himself. I think this isn't really about smoking it's more so about him wanting to be right and proving you wrong. So as hard as he works to prove you wrong you need to work twice as hard to stay on top. I suggest walking away when he lights up. You don't have to make it noticeable that this is what you are doing. Go hide out in the bathroom or something like that while he smokes. Carry with you some sort of craving diversion such as healthy snacks carrot sticks work great for me. Find something that works for you crunch ice, read a book...anything to take your mind off your cravings. It's will power and that's mental see yourself doing it and do it. Prove him wrong!
If you smoke weed, can you breastfeed?
the problem seems to be less the effect on the baby than the effect on the mother. smoking weed can impair the mother's ability to properly care for her child. if you're no longer high, there shouldn't be a problem. there are *theoretical* consequences for the baby, but there haven't been any actual studies done. "The active ingredient in marijuana, THC, will be stored in mom's fat tissues for long periods (weeks to months) and will build up in the body with continued use. Small to moderate secretion into breastmilk has been documented, and THC is concentrated in human milk. According to Hale, analysis of breastmilk from chronic heavy users indicated an eight-fold concentration in milk compared to mom's blood plasma, however the dose received by baby was insufficient to produce significant side effects. Studies have shown significant absorption and metabolism in infants, although long term effects have not been shown. " another thing to be concerned about is that pot is often cut with other drugs and even stuff like household cleaner - that can't be good for anybody. http://www.kellymom.com/health/lifestyle...
My bf is ill, has begun to smoke weed again, what should i do?
my long term boyfriend of 4 years began smoking weed about 2 years into our relationship. he smoked it every day for around 6-8 months whilst we lived together. when he could not get hold of any from his contacts, he would get angry and talk about it all day, the next morning he would try again and would carry on this cycle until he got hold of some. sometimes i would smoke some with him too but not very often. he then moved to university which put strain on our relationship as we could not see each other as often. he carried on smoking weed for a couple of months into university and then stopped. he had stopped for about a year now and during last year he displayed symptoms of bipolar. so he got diagnosed properly and is on medication to keep his moods calm. i dont know if the weed had anything to do with his personality changes. so now he has begun speaking with his old friend and has gotten high twice in two weeks. and wants to do it a few times a month. but i told him i werent happy with this as i know he will want to buy it regularly. he is very difficult and doesnt respect my opinion on this. i love him and i have told him i will leave if he does it and that i am not interested in it anymore, he told me i was making idle threats and to stop being stupid. i know i am silly for sticking by him as he gives me no consideration, he says he should have a free choice to do what he wants. he always wants things on his terms and gets angry if he doesnt get his own way. what are your thoughts?
You may start to notice pain relief, changes in blood pressure, mood and these things may be pleasant and beneficial to you. However if you are stoned all the time it really can limit your ability to function when you dont know what it feels like to be sober as much anymore. Being stoned is not something to be 24 hours a day. It loses its luster after a while. Theres always too much of a good thing. Cannabis still benefits your pain levels even after it wears off psychoactively (the high)If you abuse it heavily that's when you may start to have life limiting memory issues and a lack of concentration.I think people need to respect this the way alcohol should be respected. You shouldn't be going to work baked out of your mind. Most adults will work their shift, go home, and use it to relax. If your stoned all day it wont have the same value to you and you'll likely become dependent psychologically on it to make it through the day instead of making it through the day and then relaxing with it. If you want to do it everyday for a year be sure to be truly responsible and decide whether or not to slow/stop use if it is causing you problems.EDIT: Especially since it sounds like you've never smoked a day in your life, you might want to avoid using it while working altogether especially if it involves driving or operating a forklift.
