Alcoholic drinks: After Effects

[Dr Mario]

Gonna just go on a limb and say that maybe, just maybe, psychosis would never manifest itself if it weren't for the pot consumption.

Possibly. Or possibly it'd just manifest on another trigger instead.

I'm not going to make a call until I see some evidence either way.

Reading that article, it seems to be suggesting that pot-induced psychosis is an indicator of underlying conditions, not a cause in it's own right.

He makes a good point, in other words, of course something could happen if under the right environment and circumstances, and obviously it just happens to a small amount of people (who probably have psychotic traits lying dormant or something)
and about the gum disease, lung cancer, etc, that would be only if smoking it on a regular basis or putting additives into it. if you were to bake it and eat it, or let it soak out the thc into a glass of wine overnight, then i guess you would be getting the positive effects of both substances.
nonetheless, the main problem with both of them are the slight possibility of an allergic reaction, which is easily fixed by a visit to see what ur allergic to from the allergy doc

Also; they should be treated as a medicine, dont drink too much, or dont smoke too much, and if u need to, cut back and dont pass ur limits. (even though its physically impossible to overdose on the thc from smoking)

It's true that the reported cases are from the minority of users. And it's possible that there are some hidden issues. That aside, there's no such thing as alcohol-induced psychosis, or much evidence of alcohol bringing mental illnesses to the surface.

yeah deff. an allergy I get a similar reaction with certain beers, it sucks, but there is alway more stuff you can drink like liquor.

Not going to bother reading up on this (I've actually done it once before) but all those claims were incorrect, and it's, quite simply, alcohol. Don't know if any Absinth bans are still in effect.

Edit: Yeah... water helps you sober up... so.. yeah.

Absinthe is legal now, they have limited quantities though, and I think if you import it to the U.S., you can have it. Not sure though, since I am not of age anyway. (Referring to U.S.).

Hey I'm a new person here and the itchy. little ant bites that you were talking about I've had before. i have never drunk and never smoked. I'm only 13. and i don't have fleas so now listen to this. one time when i slept on the ground because i didn't want to be on my bed (covers=too hot and it's close to the sealing{loft bed}) and when i slept on the floor i fell asleep pretty quick. i was all covered up and warm ect... but when i woke up in the morning for some reason i have little red goosebumps looking itchy spots all over my body and it lasted for a few days. good thing i was on vacation from school lol. is what i said for the description of te spots close to yours? i though i had gotten bitten all over by ants too when i woke up. our house does have an ant problem but it was in the winter. all ant traps were being used to kill what was left and the winter killed most of them. i seriously doubt that i could have been ants but that's what it looked and felt like
