Marijuana Alternative

Talk about trying to shut down your liver and your kidneys.

You won't have to worry about stomach problems when they stick you on dialysis and put you on a liver transplant list.

 

So do you take all that on a regular basis?Any doctor will tell you that's too much.Bet you have a mini drug store at home or in trk don't you?

 

Actually, weed is dangerous in the long term. THC is neither, fat or water soluble.(not so with alcohol) Where is the greatest concentration of fatty tissue in the body? Answer: the brain. Actually cocaine is better for someone than weed... However cocaine is extremely more addictive.

But to tell folks, weed is nothing and does not pose a danger... and it's not unhealthy IS flat out wrong.

 

i worked in an industry for 20 years that randomly tests employees

do not shave all your head/body hair off when you get summoned to a drug test

if you have no hair to test then you automatically fail the drug test

your fingernails and toenails are composed of hair which they can probably test, also: eyelashes, eyebrows, hair growing in your ears and nose, that's a lot of hair to remove and a tricky story to create to explain it all

 

I'm italian do you know how much shaving that would be it would be like shaving a chimp bald

 

Has anyone had problems taking Tramadol (Ultram) a non-narcotic pain reliever, or Zanaflex, a short acting muscle relaxer for lower back pain? I've taken these for 5+ yrs and never had a problem with random drug screens (for law enforcement, which is strict). The ONLY side effects I've had from Tramadol is its harder for me to fall asleep after taking them, therefore I only take them in the morning. Zanaflex has the opposite effect, I take one at bedtime (only when needed). I have no issues taking them and being negatively effected. The only thing I took for maybe one week was hydrocodone which I hated and had to ask for something else because it made me feel "foggy" and I was not comfortable taking that even when I wasn't working. I would have no problem having my doctor write a letter stating that Tramadol does not affect my motor skills or reasoning abilities, I just wonder if it could cause a problem in the hiring process. I've never smoked marijuana in my life, but considered giving it one try when I'm fully retired (from law enforcement and trucking). Maybe it will have a tax stamp and being sold the grocery stores by then....

 

FYI: marijuana is now being sold in vending machines, you can buy public stock equities in companies that openly invest in the marijuana industry, there is still friction between states' rights and fed law

re commercial drivers the DOT says this § 391.41(b)(12)(i)&(ii):

"(12)(i) Does not use any drug or substance identified in 21 CFR 1308.11 Schedule I, an amphetamine, a narcotic, or other habit-forming drug."

Try alternating the tylenol and Ibuprofen, two tylenol and then an hour later two ibuprofen. I have done this a couple of times since my back surgery last year and my discontinuation of prescription pain killers and muscle relaxers. It does help for minor pain that just one of the two does not handle. I got that from one of my doctors.

Also, if you are not already, some exercises to strengthen the lower back and your core muscles would be a good idea. You can find exercise recommendations for your particular problem online quite easily.

 

I'll stick with the reefer pulling . . . I like my portable ice box!

 

True that. Driving a truck is going to abuse the back even worse. With any level of back pain, being in a truck can make it unbearable. I know from personal experience. I had been fighting back problems for 7 years. Once I found a doc that actually had a brain in his head, the fix was easy, and he cleared me to go back to driving too. I didn't have disc degeneration, disc issues, or anything like that, just some excess bone that needed to be removed that turned out to be putting pressure and sitting right on a nerve root. Prior to my surgery, I could barely handle being in a car. Now, I am back to driving rig again, but my case was different.
