My experience with Medical Marijuana.


I use Indica and hybrid. The Doctor told me to avoid Sativa, because I have anxiety.

Marijuana is not approved for Asperger's and Autism. However, it is approved for some symptoms of Autism.

I have Asperger's, PTSD, ADHD and back pain. Marijuana works for almost all of that.

Weed is approved to treat ADHD, I don't know why, because, it doesn't help me pay attention, I loose my short term memory, I can't concentrate on reading or writing and as soon as I read something, I forget what I read within a few minutes and it just doesn't help me with ADHD, but, it is approved for it.

Weed does ease my back pain, helps me calm down after a meltdown, helps with PTSD and other things.

Marijuana often gives me the urge to laugh.

It helps some people sleep. It is approved for Insomnia. I can't use it for sleep. Because, every time I fall asleep after using Marijuana, it has caused me really horrible nightmares and I woke up screaming!

Someone in a dispensary told me I should try a different strand of Marijuana, because, different strands have different affects on different people. Maybe the strands I've tried cause nightmares for me. For other people, the same strands might not give them any problems sleeping.

When I use weed, it gives me the munchies. I crave Chocolate (I'm allergic to Milk and Lactose). I can have a little bit of lactose and not get sick or get dairy free Chocolate.

It makes me a little more social when other people are around. Because of my Asperger's, I am usually quite shy and have trouble communicating with people. It does help a little with that, but, not as much as alcohol helps.

One time I was using Marijuana and drinking a lot of beer and Mike's Hard Lemonade. I got extremely drunk and high as a kite at the same time. That was not fun for me. However, some other people enjoy the feeling of being high and drunk at the same time. It was actually the second time in my life that I had used weed and got high. I live in an apt and one of my neighbors who used to be into illegal drugs, saw me outside all messed up on weed and beer. He brought me inside, gave me some food and had me wait a few hours until the weed started to wear off. (Fortunately, my neighbor doesn't use illegal drugs anymore.)

Some strands of Marijuana are more expensive than others. You can get some for 

$8/gram and another type will cost $20/gram. One Gram equals One regular size joint.

I usually take 6 good size hits of a joint each time I use it and a few small hits which I don't hold in my lungs as long as the others. One joint usually lasts me about 3 days. Sometimes it will last Two and a half days. By that, I mean: Two nights I get 6 good hits and the Third night, I only get 3 good hits and the joint is gone. I just have to light up another one.

I have infused Butter and cooking oil with Cannabis distillate. I made cookies with the butter and Brownies with the oil. The Brownies turned out really good, but, the Cookies didn't turn out so well.

I also cooked: Eggs, Sausage and fried Potatoes with Cannabis infused cooking oil. That turned out good to. With edibles, such as Brownies and Eggs and Potatoes, it will take between One to Two hrs to fully take affect. Usually, it hits me hard after an HR and a half.

You will start to feel the affects of edibles in about 45 minutes, then, it will slowly get stronger and it will hit you hard in an HR and a half to Two hrs. However, it will be different for each person, depending on: Their experience with weed, how many times have they used it, what strand they use, if they are drinking alcohol or caffeine with it, if they are taking any other medications or illegal drugs with it, etc.

There are a lot of YouTube videos on how to infuse butter and cooking oil with Cannabis. I use distillate, it comes in a small syringe.

Get a double boiler or use a strong, glass measuring cup and a metal pot, put the measuring cup in the pot. Put about 3 inches of water in the pot, around the measuring cup. Put butter or oil in the cup. Put whatever amount of distillate you want in the cup with the butter or oil. Boiler it for an hour. You may have to add more water, because most of it will boil off.

Stir the butter or oil every 10 minutes for an hour. Now it's ready to use.

If you use butter, you can use it right away or, put it in a dish and freeze it until it hardens up to solid butter.

With oil, pour it back into the bottle it came out of. Don't mix it with non-infused oil or butter.

When you are boiling and infusing oil or butter, measure it out to the exact amount you need, for example, a Cup, then add just a little bit more, not much. But, that will ensure that you have the amount you need, since some will evaporate while cooking.

Take the amount of Brownies, Cookies or whatever you are making and divide the amount of THC you used. That will equal the amount of THC in each one. For instance, if you used 100 Mg of THC and made 10 Brownies, that means each brownie will contain 10 Mg of Marijuana. That's not a lot of THC. It wouldn't help me very much. I like to have at least 20 Mg brownies.

Edibles usually last longer than smoking it.

According to Doctors and other experts, Marijuana itself won't kill you. But, you can still get Lung cancer from smoking it. Weed may also interact with other medications you may be taking. Talk to your Doctor first. 

I was taking medication (Amphetamines) for ADHD. But, I told my Psychiatrist that I use Medical Marijuana and she took me off the Amphetamines.

Sorry about the mile long post, but, that's my experience with Medical Marijuana.

Can Marijuana kill you? Can anyone Scientifically PROVE their answer?


First of all let me say: I have a Marijuana Card. I do use Medical Marijuana. I 100% support federal legalization of Marijuana.
With that said, this is from my experience:

Literally every person I've ever heard say Marijuana is perfectly safe, it is impossible to die from it has been just a regular person or a stoner! I've never heard a Doctor, Nurse, Pharmacist, or Scientist say this! In other words, 100% of the people I've heard this from don't truly know what they are talking about!
I have a Medical Marijuana Card in FL. When I went to the Dr to get my card, she said, "She doesn't know of any 'DOCUMENTED CASES' of people dying from Marijuana itself. But, people can and do die from smoke inhalation, auto accidents, because they drove after smoking weed, falling down and hitting their head on the ground, picking fights with people in a bar and other things.
The Marijuana plant itself didn't kill them, but, the other affects that the weed caused did kill them.
Also, I've never heard an Historian say that nobody ever in human history has ever died from weed. Humans have been around for over 7 Million years! The oldest human remains ever found were over 7 Million years old. The English language was invented about 1,000 years ago. People didn't always keep accurate historic records, especially not about Marijuana. If someone does find historical documents about someone dying from Marijuana
1 Million years ago, it will not be written in English. It might not be written in any language that exists today at all!
We will never know if someone died from weed 1 Million years ago.
Before humans came Dinosaurs and Thousands of other extinct animals. Did any Dinosaurs ever die from eating Marijuana? We will never know!
Weed has been legal in Amsterdam and several other countries for a long time. Until the 1930s, it was also legal in the US.
We will also never know if at least ONE person died back in the 1800s or before that.
I asked the Doctor how much weed someone would have to use, before it would be fatal. She said, it'd be a lot! Like, smoking over 100 joints, one right after the other! Or eat tons of Marijuana cookies.
But, if you smoked 100 joints in a row, that's stupid! You'd die of Lung cancer before the weed itself killed you.
I say again: I got my information from a Doctor! I also have a FL, Medical Marijuana Card. I do use Marijuana occasionally, for medical reasons. I also know about weed from personal experience.
99% of the people whom I've talked to about weed are NOT experts! They are know it all's, stoners, people who have friends who smoke weed and people like that, who really have no clue what they're talking about! I've only talked to ONE (1) expert on the subject. She was a Marijuana Doctor. I've also read a lot of medical information about weed and I use Medical Weed.

(My experience: I have used Marijuana over 100 times. I always get light headed, every time I use it. When I smoke it, it makes me cough, sometimes a very bad, loud cough.
It has made me vomit two different times.
I can't concentrate for more than about Two minutes.
I have no short term memory at all. I tried to read, it took me about 10 minutes to read Two paragraphs and I didn't even remember what I read after I read it!
I can't stand on one foot or walk a straight line.
However, when a friend of mine used THC drops, it didn't have any of those affects on him. In fact, as a Scientific experiment, he drove a car down some back roads, where police don't usually hang out. He did fine. He didn't drive like he was drunk. He stayed between the lines on the road.
Just don't believe everything these  "Experts" tell you! If they are not a Doctor, Nurse, Scientist, Pharmacist or something similar, they are not experts on weed or anything else! Most of them are stupid! Just like a "Barracks Attorney" (Someone in the Army who trays to give you legal advice, but, they are not an Attorney. They never went to law school. But, they only think they know everything.)
Just because you read something on Facebook, doesn't mean it's true! If you do believe everything your friends say or everything you see on the Internet, it could get you killed!!!
Just because everyone you know says something is 100% safe, doesn't make it safe! Nothing is perfectly safe! Not even breathing the air or drinking water is totally safe.
