BTW...things to take into consideration as well...
@Jean-O has been honest in the thread about previous use of other alternatives...
But...how many people tell their doctors the truth...?...
Even in non legal states it is almost socially acceptable to say I use dope and have him look at you and tut...but is it as easy to say I was on heroin or coke...?
Our friends mother was manically opposed to cannabis for the detrimental effect it had on her son.
When I said to her son what the hell were you using that frightened the crap out your mother so much...?.....
He said anything and everything I could get down me neck...but cannabis was the only sociably acceptable thing I could tell me mother...

..
She went to her grave hating cannabis...
