I have previously:
grown weed down in Canberra (ACT Australia), where its possession and personal recreational use is decriminalised;
smoked/eaten weed approximately once a month over some years running;
smoked/eaten weed every day for six months with a hard psychology three months after giving it up;
smoked/eaten weed approximately once a year for many more years;
smoked/eaten weed every day for one year without the hard psychology after giving up, since having learned about how to manage that better;
gone as many as five years running without smoking weed since after first smoking it around the age of 21.
The negatives of cannabis sativa and cannabis indica, are:
If you always run with the more positive minded approach while smoking regularly, the negative mindedness that goes hand in hand with the positive, can catch up during detoxification, when THC stored in fat cells, begins to metabolise, after three months;
Also smoking weed longer term is bad for the kidneys.
Using weed in combination with psychedelics tends to enable the psychedelics to give you the information somehow, of the negative impact on your kidneys. A famous example of a person who received the instruction to give up cannabis via use of a psychedelic, is Graham Hancock.
I had one smoke this year, on a park bench with a homeless man who gave it to me, and I smoked out of desire to honour his hospitality and generosity.
My advice will be to either know why you consume weed before consuming it, and follow through with the result, or don't consume it unless you feel good about yourself in your consumption of, and then, also follow through with the result. Our kidneys do not like the pathway of gaining a lot of insight unless we behaviourally comply with each and every insight. And that information about the kidneys can be sort of corroborated by the science of how the neurones in the adrenal medulla, are in evidence as being able to regenerate after loss, but only when we always get up and exercise whenever we feel like exercising.
That is, every inclination which comes to mind, to take action, needs the body to take that exact action, and then the kidneys are happier.
Here is a brief material medica listing of the
proving of cannabis indica as it is used in homeopathy, and here is a brief material medica listing of the
proving of cannabis sativa as it is used in homeopathy. Now, you don't need to believe in the efficacy of homeopathy, to understand that the homeopath's use material medica books, which have a significant history of research. Each listing in a material medica, is the culmination of the knowledge of how a substance, when tested upon a few hundred persons, can make a person sick. Homeopaths use a tiny dose to enable a person with the same symptoms caused by a different circumstance than use of that substance, develop their immune system's resilience to their own circumstances. So what bums me out about cannabis, is that it would be a good way to treat me in my peri-menopausal symptoms I have currently, if only I had not used it in excess at any time previous in my life. But since I have used it, the homeopathic remedy is less likely to be as effective now, as it could have been.
