Cannabis curred me

**vorx** · 06-24-2007

Hello everyone,

I have a personal experience I want to share with you all. I have hyperhidrosis which is a condition that i go through every day. My hands and feet sweat because the theromostat in my sweat glands are malfunctioning. It is not stress related but probably a genetic disorder i grew up with. It doesnt happen everytime but it is bothersome because it impacts few things such as shaking hands and making first impression etc or using the keyboard. My sweating problem has no safe cures and there is a surgery available but alot of people regret being under the knife.

I noticed rescently after smoking cannabis my feet and hands do not sweat anymore. I feel so relaxed relieve so much negative energy. Cannabis helped my hyperhidrosis condition as much as my anger problems. I am aware of the envirenment even if i am under the drug but i am just more relaxed. Some say that drugs are bad, but trust me cannabis is beneficial.

I gained few pounds and look alot healthier with the increased appetite while smoking canabis. I tried digesting canabis while mixing them with cookies but i don't like the feeling because it makes you lazy and lasts for days. I believe if you evaporate canabis and just smell it without smoking it is even healthier for people who wish to add few pounds, relieve their stress and relax themselves from the daily frustrations.

Personaly i am over energetic and i need to calm down my temper and canabis helped me be more suggestive to others and better yet, myself. It is not as addictive as sugar trust me because it takes just one or two hits to be allset for a week.

I want to know your experiences with canabis ladies and gentlemen. Please don't bash me with "DRUGS ARE BAD GO TO REHAB" because i just listed few problems that this drug helped me deal with. I also read that even some H.I.V. and A.I.D.S. positive people favore canabis to ease their pain and increase their appetite

Thanks =)

I have or HAD hyperhydrosis... and it is genetics but I overpowered it by being more confident...and more optimistic...It happens when you're too nervous but u have to overcome that problem... My personal experience with smokin weed... hmm lol... Well I use to be a heavyyy smoker... Last summer I had ATLEAST 7 spliffs a day... and that was when I didn't have faith.. and through my experience.. I noticed I became dumber than usual... In grade 9 my average was 90%... Grade 10 I got my first car and started smoking weed... and my average dropped to 70%... Grade 11 My average dropped below 50.. and I got kicked out of school.. and I got arrested.. and thats when I changed my life around and became Religious and optimistic...and now I just finished grade 12 with an 80%... Notice how my mark went up after I stopped smoking weed... Its all peer pressure that gets you into these kinda stuff... and that doesnt happen to me anymore... I became a positive person and follow my own rules and beliefs.. Be more confident around people and you will overcome hyperhydrosis... Or go to a doctor and try to get that fixed.. They put like 50 + needles in ur hand to fix it .. so I didnt do it.. I just fixed it naturally...

I talked to my doctor about and he told to just live with it. The medicines for it cause so much side effects its crazy. Hyperhidrosis isn't about being nervous at all. My hands and feet sweat just by themselves when i am in the sofa watching a movie, or sitting outside my porch looking at people and the world.

Rescently i am not really frustrated at all. I am relaxed and it is summer time. Hyperhidrosis is still happening.

You just gotta be careful with cannabis. Unlike you i don't go beyong a second hits and i only take little puffs. I aint hardcore about it, and i don't let myself use the drug till the stupid level. Its great!

**BanGuLLy** · 06-24-2007

ye that use to happen to me too.. it happens sometimes when you get nervous...I remember I also had my feet sweatin when I was watchin a movie and on the couch.. I think its specific materials or also the temperature that triggers the sweat glands.. Anyways when I shake someones hand it doesn't sweat until like holding the hand for more than 10 seconds.. I hate it too man.. I use to hate it sooooo much... but you gotta live with what you get you know.. and I quit smoking weed... and still it doesnt happen much.. but I noticed it decreased a lot when I had more confidence... Anyways if you find out more about how to prevent it from happening plz post.. Ill do the same..

**BanGuLLy** · 06-24-2007

and I would advise you not to do drugs man.. its Haram.. but I have no right to tell you what to do because I do somethin worse than smoking weed...
I smoke cigarettes

and tried quittin many times... but need serious help in quittin..

My friend was smoking cigs since he was 11 and now he is 21. He didn't smoke its been 2 weeks so far and we play basketball alot rescently. We play an average of 24 hours a week after work and it helped him a little. He always wants to smoke but i tell him that he can do better.

My friend also said that cannabis relaxes him. We always smoke it together and he is eating alot better since he stoped smoking cigs. He looks healthier during these 2 weeks and i wish he stops for real.

I tell him to not be a patriot at the same time. If you wish to smoke cigarettes, smoke one a day and it won't harm you as much. Go gradually and you will see some results.

I usually don't drink alcohol or smoke weed or cigarettes. I am very occasional and strict about it. Ive been introduced to cigarettes, alcohol and weed its been 4 years now and I never let myself go berzerk.

Trust me, it is alot better if you don't do anything at all and be a health freak. Take care of yourself and i know i am too under some peer pressure. I am young and i am stupid =)

There are a few things to consider before trying to convince people that cannabis is harmless and beneficial.

No matter what we think it is illegal in most countries. If it should be legal is beside the point, because while it is illegal a person using it is a criminal and violating the laws of the land.

I will agree that there is a likelihood that cannabis can be of some medical use for the management of some diseases. I have heard of much success of it being used for the treatment of Glaucoma, Pain control, and reduction of nausea caused by chemotherapy. The question should be at the time it is used is the condition it is being used for debilitating or life threatening, are there other treatments available?

Cannabis is not the harmless product some people are trying to lead us to believe. I don't believe in using scare tactics about the damage it can do. just some general points. A standard marijuana cigarette has about the same effect as a can of beer. Now, that is not such a physically damaging thing and doesn't seem to be very bad. However, if you can not justify the drinking of a can of beer, you may want to reconsider how you can justify the smoking of one cannabis cigarette. Vice versa, how can you justify the smoking of a cannabis cigarette and condemn the drinking of a can of beer? I believe that those of us who are Muslim should stop and look at the reality of why people smoke cannabis. In most cases it is because it "gets them high". It does cause a degree of drunkeness, can you justify that as being Halal?

Cannabis destroyes people's memory. They forget very quick !!!! This is enough to prove that it is a bad thing. Its harm overcomes its profit.

**Trumble** · 06-24-2007

I wouldn't disagree with Woodrow in general terms, although I do think cannabis is singled out to some degree principally because of the way it is taken. Many other otherwise illegal drugs (including heroin) are produced in medical tablet form and issued on prescription quite legally, although obviously their use is highly restricted and controlled. I see no reason why cannabis shouldn't be prescribed on the same basis.

Thats good you don't smoke cannabis proud of ya brother.

I did smoke cannabis in them days and trust me it does destroy your memory very quickly. Also it doesn't give you confidence but makes you lazy in doing things and you have lack of confidence in your self. You do things that you shouldn't be doing, you feel tired a lot and obviously it's an addicted drug which later by you will regret it cause gradually you will get pains like me i regret smoking and drinking etc... but i was not a Muslim then. Alhamdulillah i don't do them actions no more.

The biggest harm of Cannabis, is not of destroying the health, but it is the 'diploma' that moves you to the next stage of 'cocaine, heroin etc...'. Majority of people who consume heroin or any other hardcore type of drugs, started with cannabis.

I would agree with you that as a medical drug there can be benefits from and it does not make any sense for it to not be legal as a prescription drug. I have no disagreement for properly used medication. I am against it being used unnecessarily and as a pleasure inducing drug. I am not opposed to people enjoying pleasures of this world, but not all pleasures are beneficial.

Yes, Cannabis does cause permanent brain damage. When I was doing my internship in a psychiatric hospital I did assessments on a large number of patients with cannabis induced psychosis, which resembled schizophrenia to a very large extent. I guess they was some benefit in that as it had opened the door to finding physical and genetic factors as the cause for schizophrenia and Bi-Polar disorder. As a result effective medications for both have been developed.

ACUTE SYMPTOMS OF CANNABIS PSYCHOSIS
International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10)

Often the combination of symptoms makes one suspicious that schizophrenia is present but at the same time there is an affective component. There may be the suspicion that the condition, either in part of whole, is feigned for reasons that are unclear because the pattern of symptoms do not fall easily into the usual criteria for psychosis. Drug taking is often denied, or the amount that is admitted by the patient is so little that one cannot say that this accounts for the current symptoms. Worse still, patients may not even consider Cannabis as an illicit or dangerous drug and so do not mention using it. Hallucinations are vague and delusions may be transitory with little in the way of thought disorder. There is often a lack of volition and a history of gradually deteriorating social ability and contact with others, including significant others. This history will often be verified by relatives and close friends who may be either completely ignorant of the drug taking, or confirm that there has been some in the past but believe that there has been little drug taking recently. There is often a depressive component with suicide attempts in the past but nothing recent or, if there is, then they are only ineffectual pleas for help. The person has usually lost his or her job some months or weeks before due to their poor performance at work. There is often very poor memory and concentration, which may be marked at the time of presentation. Paranoid delusions may be present and quite severe which can be the most alarming psychotic feature and result in hospital admission. If confronted with aggressive and authoritarian staff, who indicate verbally or non-verbally, that they do not believe the patient, the patient may become violent or simply leave against medical advice. There is a slow and gradual effect of cannabis and the symptoms continue to worsen for some time after the person stops using it. Thus by the time of presentation the person may be so disorganised and confused that they can’t even arrange their next “cone” or “joint”. Over the following few days the symptoms ease quickly. The improvement is easily credited to the neuroleptics and/or the antidepressants, which may in fact have contributed to the improvement. Symptoms such as the paranoia, hallucinations and depression fade until the patient is allowed to go on leave from the hospital and, a worsening of the symptoms may follow this. More often than not the nursing staff are the first to become suspicious that drugs have been taken when the patient is on leave from the hospital.

It could even be that the drug screen only indicated small dose drug taking or even absent. The International Classification of Disease indicates the following symptoms due to Cannabis.

If you have time I hope you will read the link for the full medical findings and permanent damage, resulting from even short term usage. You may then understand how come so many homeless and jobless people have a history of cannabis usage.
