That's what I thought. I know several folks who get great results in medicinal use for chronic conditions. It's pretty heavily prescribed at the Cancer Center in the hospital I work at. I've been told the shops that sell it put it in candy etc.. Seems like a healthier way to get the medicinal benefits than to smoke it. Smoking anything is a bad idea if you ask me. I know people who smoked weed and cigarettes daily and I have no idea how their lungs held up! Mine were toast just from cigarettes!Just like with Alcohol and prescription medications (Even OTC) it's up to people to take personal responsibility when it comes to being impaired and driving. I think history has shown that making a substance illegal does not prevent it's use.My State recently legalized it and then immediately delayed the onset while they figured out how to control it I personally don't like the stuff but I have no issues with those that do. Do people smoke it still? I thought edibles was the thing now.JT, It can take some time for the cravings,thoughts to diminish. The time frame is different for everyone, but for me it was a very very gradual process. The first few months I thought about smoking almost non stop. It was mentally exhausting and I was desperate to not have to think about it anymore. Around 8 months quit I started to notice that I was going much longer periods of time without thoughts of smoking and from there, month by month, it just got to be less and less. Honestly at this point the only time I think about smoking is when I come here! Anyway, hang in there. It does get better and I can promise it is so worth it!I quit smoking more than 5 years ago and it was the first time I ever attempted it. To be honest, I was testing the water really when I started, just to see what it was like. As suspected it was quite horrid! Once I'd gone a day, two days without smoking I was motivated to keep it going and started searching for information leading me to this board. Two things made the difference for me personally. 1. I knew if I started smoking again that, eventually, I would to have to quit again. I didn't want to set myself back to the beginning because I didn't think I had the energy to start again. 2. The support of the people on this board. Whether it's your first attempt of your 20th, you have to want to quit more than you want to smoke in order to be successful.Well done! Not only did you quit smoking but you have supported so many others in the process. We are blessed to have you here with us. SALUTE!Way to go Jack! Congratulations on your success!
