FSU’s top recruiter exposes she's HIV positive

[NavetG8r]

Again, we can go back and forth with links on this rog. You obviously have an agenda. I obviously have a different agenda. I don't think we'll ever agree to disagree and that's ok. But I'll trade article after article with you if that's your wish.

We still don't know everything postive and/or negative about cannabis as it relates to human consumption. One thing's for sure, I'm all for more research because from what I can tell, cannabis is helping people all over the country. Indeed, all over the world as it's now legal in other countries as medicine as well. Including Israel of all places. Israel is actually far ahead of the US in relation to the studies of the benefits of cannabis because our DEA intentionally suppresses most studies designed to discover medical benefits of cannabis.

Look at Gary Johnson for all you need to know about pot. But leave it to Rog and Nav to turn a pussy conversation into a pot conversation.

This thread is a great example of the greatness of Gator Chatter. The discussion goes from a nole whore to hating noles to Rachel Ray to tights and open toed shoes to equal pay for women to pot. Brilliant, just brilliant!

Do you have any doubt which they'd rather have?

well Nav does openly hate women

well Nav does openly hate women

there's a difference between hating women and hating pussy

But pot is glorified in the porn industry. Hence, vape girls.

No way I click that link....

Lol... NO kidding... Although, 'Alcoholica probably has it saved under his favorites...

Anyway, I've studied brain function (essentially brain dysfunction) because my SPECTs show huge organic dents from a surprise hit from behind with a hard swung object. I was out for 3 hours. SPECT pictures of my brain show on the left a half an orange size loss of temporal lobe brain matter, with a rebound dent on the right temporal. I lost my working memory completely for years, very little has returned. Even today when I go to the sink to fill my water bottle up, I stand there stalled not remembering which handle is the hot or cold. I make a guess and mistakingly turn on the hot on many occasions, going on trial & error each time. Certain circuits were destroyed irretrievably, some were not.

'Rog, Am I reading this correctly? Are you saying someone hit you on the back of the head, leaving you unconcsious and with a lasting brain injury? May I ask who? Or why?

Why limit yourself to one genre of porn? Besides, potheads and alcoholic girls aren't very attractive in my opinion

True Alagator. Nobody knows who it was, but obviously someone whom I encountered. Sometimes I can blurt forth a witty comeback (so I thought or without thinking) and it angered someone who got even later. Back then in the 60s nobody thought much about concussions. And I was too shy to complain to anybody, but, really, I never made the connection and that could be because I was working with a very unfocussed brain. The working memory loss caused me to withdraw from UF for 6 months until I felt like I'd recovered. But back at UF where I'd excelled (3.5 gpa.) and loved those nighttime tricky multiple choice tests, I was now struggling. I had no idea why I had become "stupid". I got in trouble with my Dad which broke my heart. I made it through Dental School because UF biochem, physiology etc overprepared me for UT's med courses, plus I'm guessing my new-grown brain circuits compensated somewhat.

A book "The Brain That Heals Itself" explains the "new" probably 10+ year old knowledge that the adult brain can still grow new neurons, new circuitry. But a "pure" healthy brain is far better than a repaired one. Compensatory neuronal circuits aren't as strong conductors as the original damaged circuits were.

One of the first conscious-guided circuits to stop was "sense of time" passage. It took me 1 hour to complete a 30-minute procedure and I wasn't aware. Then 2 hours. If I looked away from the mouth, I had a very hard time refinding the tooth I was working on (looking in that little mirror requires using a specially "trained" neuronal "backwards" network and mine shut down.) See, like these NFL players, as you age compensating brain circuits (having lesser blood supply) close down. So I had to retire. I might get worse with time. In truth, it ruined the life I started with.

After all that collapse, I finally went to Dr. Amen for brain scans and saw where my brain was severely "caved in" on my left temporal lobe with a smaller contrecoup dent on my right temporal. These areas are crucial for memory and learning. The SPECT scans revealed that I also had PTSD. These are complicated "science things" in that every person's neuronal "tracks" are different. Savants have large neurogenetic "wastelands" in their brains yet they are genius in some specific function.???

Irony of all irony, cannabis seems to be helping PTSD patients more than the pills doctors are trying to push on them. But I bet with your attitude towards cannabis, you never once considered giving it a try, did you? Never mind, I already know the answer, it was a rhetorical question rog.

Navet, I have no problem with marijuana use. If I found a bag of it I'd try it again. The one time I smoked it with a friend, that was the happiest evening that I've ever spent. We were cracking jokes right & left until later we each would
crack up before the punchline was reached. I hate the thought of sucking any kind of smoke into my lungs.

I don't get pot because I have not enough working "executive function" in my brain to plan and carry out plans that take sustained effort. Hell, I'm pissed that over-reactive bureaucrats essentially long ago stopped even scientists from getting LSD & Ecstacy to research controlled doses or re-arranged LSD, EX formulas to treat depression. Opioids too, have a mood elevating effect, but FedGov is sure the youth will abuse any such helpful creations; so they block research. Several years back, a computer data center was established where worldwide medical studies were compiled. One result that turned up was that antidepressant drugs helped less than 38% of depressed patients.? That's lousy for such costly, targeted drugs.

For there to be a true medical marijuana, its components (many various THCs, some + some -) have to be subjected to controlled scientific studies. While that's going on, I'm okay with the wilful populace using and getting legalized all they want. You're right that politicians are cowardly roadblocks to research certain drugs. Still, the isolation of the different THCs even in one plant may wipe out PTSD ruinations. In fact, researchers have isolated the particular THC that causes the "munchies". Its removal does not reduce pot's pleasurable effects. So when it hits the market weight conscious folk will buy it exclusively. I believe the "pot industry" paid for that isolation extraction research. They will patent the process and get a big return on their investment.

As long as we agree it may not be perfect, but it isn't the evil society killer Nixon and his ilk tried to convince us of either. I don't claim to know every positive or negative effect cannabis can give, but I do know lots of people have smoked it nearly all their lives, and while maybe not the most intelligent folks in the world, they're pretty happy with where they are and typically don't bother anybody else in any negative way. There are always exceptions, but there are exceptions to every group. Lots of drinkers can drink without it negatively affecting their lives. Same can be said about lots of cannabis users. But the opposite can be found also in both groups. The injustice is our government telling us one is illegal but the other is perfectly fine. Don't even get me into tobacco and how many people and lives it's destroyed.

Wow 'Rog... I remember you stating before that you suffered migraines and I had thought they led to you having to retire... Surely didn't know the extent of what you're dealing with. My heartfelt sympathy...
