Never Thought I'd Say This

[RangerDanger]

But sometimes the intoxicating properties of smoking pot is an undesirable side effect, for me at least.
I smoke pot recreationally but also for 3 legit medical conditions--back pain, insomnia and stress.

And sometimes when I smoke for pain management, I find the need to be clear-headed. I'll go into town to pick up a few things and forget some of them.
Or I'll tell someone I'll call them and forget cause I was high.

So I have to be careful when I smoke medicinally. Currently I'm on call for jury duty and I don't want to show up red-eyed, dazed and confused. So lately in the day time I smoke only enough to tolerate the pain and usually have to augment or replace the pot with other pain-killers, which aren't as effective and usually upset my stomach.

Add some ginko biloba to your diet for improved memory. Maybe some feverfew and purple willow for additional pain relief. And meadowsweet for stomach complaints.

Akorn, you do know that Aspirin is just pill-form MeadowSweet right?

The natural form of aspirin comes from the bark of the willow tree, or so I've read.
I know it works because I've had willow bark tea before.

And I tried ginko biloba, took it religiously for months (when I could remember to lol) and I noticed no improvemnt in memory.

yep...aspirin is made from willow...one of the oldest known pain relievers.

Yeah, i know how you feel. Sometimes i just feel real burnt out from smoking, so i have to take a break once in a while. I think its just a human condition, you cant do something too much, its get too boring, too heavy, too......

I made aspirin in my freshman chemistry class. It is pretty basic.
