Remind me to come back to this topic in 25 years or so, when we'll be no closer.

They’re a bunch of morons so they won’t listen anyways, backwards archaism at its finest the British Government.... The economy is fucked due to Covid.... how to help it.... create thousands of jobs, millions in tax revenue, take the burden off border / customs and police simply by legalising Cannabis but they’re so fucking stupid and blind that no ones even considered it I’d guarantee, a few years ago I thought we were very close and we’re clearly not, only thing anyone seems to acknowledge now is a rally or riot so that’s clearly the path, 100,000 people blazing some herb outside the commons is the only way imo.

It would literally solve all the problems NHS etc etc etc

Right now is the time, it won’t solve a whole economy in anyway but every little helps right now as line you say even if it was just used to bolster the NHS then it’s a huge win, they’re just too blind and arrogant to see it.

There too scared to because of public opinion and the negative image weed has which is complete bs

Money. People with money. Big business. Are the only ones. Politicians will always curtail to their wishes. It's already happening though. The big Green companies in America/Canada are funding the media campaigns at the moment (oil for sick kids, CBD etc.) The Tories moved pretty quickly from staunchly objecting to rushing through legislation. The weed leaf motif is moving from "hippy symbol" to "health symbol" pretty quickly. It's no longer just the cheap bandanas, lighters or t-shirts. It's in supermarkets, pound shops, vape shops, health food shops, it's pervasive. Plant plastics, climate benefits, hemp cottons, CBD products, food stuffs, the list goes on of the advantages. Soon enough the image of the "Chong" style stoner with the weed t-shirt and the massive joint aren't the symbol and the benefits can't be ignored. That's when change will happen and we're almost there. A few more steps along the road is decriminilisation.

Big pharma, booze companies and pub chains like wetherspoons (run by a real asshole, and major conservative party donor) would never let that happen. As long as these lot are in we be struggling.

Theresa May and her hubby

Thank you

A jinn and use one of your 3 wishes

Awesome

Not sure who but I know they are drunk.

I am 43 years old and people have been telling me since I was 15 it would be soon. I honestly do not see it happening in my lifetime. It would solve a lot of our problems in this country but on the other hand we would not get to look forward to our trips to more enlightened countries.As has been already said alcohol and pharma, "dealers" would not allow it imo.

Start a petition!

I have an idea for a petition to make weekly drug tests mandatory for all MPs. Failing the test to result in immediate sacking, as well as being prohibited for life from holding any position in government. If nothing else I imagine we'd see coke legalised in a matter of minutes.

This is great, but if weed is already medicinal, amd its not provided, then what do we word it as? So doctors prescribe it? Maybe doctors to prescribe recreational cannabis for ptsd/anxiety/work-stress related illness- pain management alt...?

If you don't have a better source of pro biotics then yeah. If you are going to drink it instead of Coke, then yeah. Otherwise it's a lot of sugars and preservatives to reckon with.

Ive had the fortunate luck to try some really good concoctions of it by a real shaman, & they were different types, one with Mint another with Ginger & my body & system immediately felt the high vibrational detox going on! To me, I feel like its what alcohol should be, I got drunk but it was beautiful not like with alcohol, just my opinion

And theres something called Amanita Kombucha which is something even more magickal ;)

( research " soma " )

Probs ok raw. but the "healthy" products these days are full of sugars n shit. Kefir is best healthy good bacteria by ten fold.

There are some good natural ones out there. Captain kombucha raspberry flavour, is pretty good. Makes a great mixer too.

We believe it depends on the body and the yeast environment. If the bacteria is already sufficient it can be counter productive to add more so know your body and what it needs :)

I wouldn't ask health questions on here.

In short, it might be beneficial for your gut in terms of microbes that live there.

Either way it tastes good.

Most simply you just wanna keep it oily inside and out. Oily baths or even showers and you have it under control on the surface.

Under the hood diet is profound, olive oils, coconut, and pretty much anything healthy can turn around the problem.

Cannabis seems to help, a salve is worth a try and sounds fun if nothing else. But don't treat with medicine till diet is changed, that's the cure you want.

LIke your diet your regular cannabis use should be oily, tinctures and cbd concentrates and smoking is going to hurt, you don't put a fire next to dry anything.

I agree with the doc, skin is a lot like plants. Dry leaves means moisture topically and on the inside chemistry that will promote healthy growth on the lowest possible layer, healthy oils, theres your most fundamental lubricant.

a good cbd balm will help

hello hope all is well

look up organic oats bath, cut out sugar and dairy and drinks loads of filtered or distilled water. Avoid foods that cause mucus and inflammation.

kind regards

100% agree..especially cutting the dairy.tobacco doesn't help if you smoke. And there is a product called neem cream highly recommended and its not dear either.

Elimination diet. Water, Salt, Steak(rib eye) aka Carnivore

hello all, am back on here after so long... its back again the eczema...but it makes my heart so happy to see all your helpful comments

Ive been using hemp seed oil and its the best !!!! I apply it all over body & take it orally too, just a few drops, works like a CHARM !

Hi mate, happy to send you a jar of canna coconut oil for your eczema. I can infuse it with turmeric, maca, lucuma, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and black pepper providing you are not allergic to any of those? Don't want any money just want feedback on if it helps at all!

can also add tea tree, lavender, chamomile, thyme, frankincense, basil and eucalyptus essential oils again providing you are not allergic to them. Message me!

avoid deadly nightshade family in your diet, that can make a big impact

Oh my that sounds real beautiful, messaged you !

Cold showers changed my life after suffering from chronic eczema for years. Calms it right down and let’s the CBD balls and steroid creams do there job

Lifestyle, diet,
Stop using strong washing powder, change bed clothes every day when skin is bad.
Life long eczema sufferer

Fasting and putting your body in an autophagy state has anicdotal and possibly scientific backing too, to improve eczema. Also it has run through my family, and I find eating excessive sugars, carbohydrates and gluten inflames it. Just my two cents

eczema is a symptom, salves may help with a symptom but treating the underlying causes will ... you know.
how much stress do you have in your life ?

Try the organic black seed oil and some extra B6 Vitamin and B12 thank us later .

Is black seed oil topical or ingested?

Agreed with the info already left! By add on... be careful when using creams and ointments... sometimes too much and too often can actually make the problem much worse! Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water too... such an easy thing to help so many ailments.

Diet only. Either Keto or Carnivore. I prefer carnivore with lots of beef.

I feel you bro, same sort of thing I suffer from.
I use moisturisers - usually of the emollient variety, avoid dairy and get some sun around you - avoid the sunbeds though (my girlfriend is a dermo-nurse and swears this will do more harm to the melanin than good. UV light treatment in a hospital is not a sunbed, it is very different). Also cauliflower and broccoli are really good - the rawer the better.

Take care man, and if you haven't already, go ask your GP for a referral to the Dermatology clinic asap, those guys are great and at the moment they are pretty much empty, but still operational as the hospitals wind down their response to Covid.

I had eczema really bad I’m talking elephant skin!
Go to a Chinese herbalist! They will sort it no problem.

The best ointment I found is a Chinese cream
Called 999. You can find it on eBay.

Animal based diet. Its hard though because your meat has to be pasture raised grass fed. Also, you must consume organs and collagen (bone broth) for you to actually benefit. Also, include fruit, raw dairy and raw honey/maple syrup. Veggies you can eat are strict. Sweet potatoes and carrots are the only ones.

For example today ive ate a fillet of venison, an ounce of cooked grass fed liver and an ounce of grass fed heart. Ive had to get the organs from my local farm. I had a fried egg with it, some raw cheese, fried banana and kiwis and honey. I feel great.

Another thing I will mention is. You must try and avoid seed oils like the plague too just in general whatever diet you take up. I cooked everything I just mentioned in organic ghee. 6 quid a jar in sainsburys.

Rapeseed oil used to be used to lubricate war engines and its in every fucking product on them shitty supermarket shelves where theyre trying to shove shit down our necks. Research about rapeseed/canola oil people its real. That shit causes more inflammation in the body than a cigarette does.

Since Ive been on this diet my skins improved, my energy levels are always steady, I sleep better and I feel more alive than ever. I can string my sentences together better, I feel more coordinated in my speech and every day life things. Your diet is one of the main foundations of how you feel.

Hope if you try it out it helps. Doesnt all have to be grass fed from a farm too coz that can be expensive to keep on top of. Not saying you cant afford it but go research and find out hope this helps anyway🫶

Something that you might not a have heard of before… Tamanu Oil. Used in Polynesia for all sorts of skin issues, from rashes to cuts and burns.
I suffered with a skin rash for years, was prescribed all sorts of ointments, steroid creams, nothing worked and it only seemed to become drier and more inflamed.
I have always had a very healthy diet and drank plenty water, as well as exercising regularly. Still suffered with this issue.
Tried Tamanu oil after searching endlessly online for a solution and within a month the rash was gone. It’s available from face theory and only costs around £13 for a bottle (which should last about 2/3 months or even more) so not a big loss if it doesn’t work for you.
I will say though that it does have quite a strong earthy smell, but you get used to it quickly lol.

Buy silk bed sheets, get rid of what you have, may seem extravagant but I had constant eczema on my face towards the tops of my cheek bones, used steroid creams for years. On a hunch, I bought a silk pillow case. Haven't had use steroid cream on my face since. I imagine the same effect would apply allover. Cotton draws moisture and if your skin is already having trouble holding on to it, cotton aint helping for 8 hours a night. 👌

Diet:

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.

Anti-inflammatory foods: Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (such as fatty fish, chia seeds, and flaxseeds), fruits, vegetables, and foods high in antioxidants. These can potentially help reduce inflammation in the body.

Identify triggers: Keep a food diary to identify any specific foods that may trigger or worsen your eczema symptoms. Common triggers include dairy, gluten, and certain spices.

Lifestyle:

Moisturize regularly: Use fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated. Apply moisturizers immediately after bathing or showering to lock in moisture.

Avoid harsh chemicals and irritants: Use mild, fragrance-free soaps, detergents, and skincare products. Avoid exposure to environmental irritants like harsh weather conditions, excessive heat, or allergens that may trigger flare-ups.

Stress management: Stress can potentially worsen eczema symptoms. Practice stress-management techniques like meditation, deep breathing exercises, or engaging in hobbies that help you relax.

Wear soft, breathable clothing: Choose loose-fitting, soft, and breathable fabrics such as cotton to avoid friction and irritation to the skin.

All I would add in is cotton gloves. Lose clothes and the washing powder has bug impact.

Also a stress diary - can be a delayed reaction.

Are you vegan?

I’d try cutting out lactose for eczema. Lots of skin issues caused by lactose. I have a severe intolerance to it and as soon as I eat it I get some weird painful skin stuff. And I’d just recommend a whole food diet high in veg and protein and cut out sugar and processed food, drink lots of water, take probiotics, use electrolytes regularly, to help distribute water to the cells.

Sunbeds. i.e Vitamin D

Give it a try and let me know.

Cheers. BB

Stay away from the sunbeds

avoid wearing synthetic fibres like polyester wear only natural fibres like wool cotton or sillk same for bed sheets

I have suffered from eczema for most of my adult life. Treatment starts on the inside, you will need to focus on your diet first. Look up 'The Elimination Diet' and start by cutting out the usual suspects: dairy and gluten. Look for any foods that trigger a skin response.

For flare ups you will need to moisturise and use corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, but this is not sustainable for the long term.

This will be a long and hard journey my friend, you will need to be patient, and I wish you luck.

As always, getting medical advice here is a bad idea.

Eczema is a surprisingly complex condition. AFAIK scientists do not know the cause and many think it might be multi causal (like a cough, there are a lot of reasons you might have one!).

That being said - having a diet that nourishes your gut and mouth biome is beneficial for A LOT of things. Anecdotally, since i changed my diet to nourish my biome, my skin has improved, but I don't have eczema.

So - eat whole foods. Avoid ultra processed foods. Try to eat a lot of nuts, seeds and legumes. Avoid inflammation by balancing complex carbs with fats like EVOO. Eat 30 different plants a week. Eat about 30g of fibre a day (work up to this).

As you can see below, everyone has an answer and not all of them are reliable. And hardly any are based in evidence. Eg Neem - great stuff, as an insecticide or fungicide. Probably not useful as a treatment for eczema. Ringworm maybe. No evidence for topical application of CBD either.

I've made some homemade cannabis salve. Works a treat for mine and My sons psoriasis. Will be looking to test some on here with others. If anyone is interested drop me a message

Definitely recommend organic black cumin oil & a good diet will help also plenty of sun really helps

Vitamin E Oil is great for dry skin make sure you let it sink in n work before you wash. i get rly dry knees and it always works a treat .

A vegan macrobiotic diet
No processed foods

There is no long term data so I would say follow your spidey sense, what's the downside?

Thats why people have low temp dabs, dabbing at high temperatures causes toxic smoke thats cancerous

I like to dab as a healthier alternative to smoking (its vaping without the vaporizer) so no burning plant material to inhale X

People believe the holy temp is 710, it is in carcinogenic cases.
Anything over 700 is harmful, burns it to shreds anyway. Extracts are getting safer, they've even been removing them from dispensaries since 'CRC' is around. So legally they have to be made safer to be sold.

Well, combustion 🔥 is the Devil 👹 so setting light to anything and inhaling it will inevitably include carcinogens.

Vaping is interesting. Apparently some concentrates will release carcinogenic aerosol. Coils can also degrade and release metal particulates.

That’s the thing about life…it’s definitely gonna kill you…

Anything in the lung isn't generally good. As for combustion Vs Vape, Vape wins hands down every time.

My personal preference is buying high quality edibles with two carts a month.

This is coming from smoking just under an ounce a week (give or take a few hand outs).

And by carts do you mean distillate carts you can screw onto a pen battery, like this https://littlebiggy.org/item/Msu0BIALrBEJYKyHLkdIunIv/view/v

Yes it has a kind of crackle on the lungs.

this bigga

A lot of the carcinogens generated are from burning plant matter, given concentrates remove a lot of plant matter, my guess would be they are less carcinogenic than flowers.

As long as you aren't burning it I wouldn't think this is accurate.

I smoke before EVERY THING :)

Ok but don't forget after everything.

Round here we call that indica time

but the end is only a new beginning so :)

“Covered”

so you are the cat that smokes 2 joints before they smoke 2 joints

I smoke 2 joints in times of protest

https://youtu.be/vUsv4Lb7EQs

Thats me


I smoke two joints before i smoke two joints and then i smoke two more!

Everywhere i go ive got people dropping out, passing up by throwing the towel in..i even turn my grey regularly from smoking so much

Everyday since 2000 maybe earlier...unfortunately i started too early 12/13

Infact ive smoked with people and turned them sober cause it was too much for them Hahaha just not as serious as some of us here

For some people it's a phase for the rest its a lifestyle lol

lol! I often pride myself on telling my friends about the time I once made a rasta whitey. He couldn't handle the G13 I got in the dam from a 2 week trip lol

lol

😁best comment fair play🤣 👏🏻

Haze would would be perfect to...some smoke makes me wana starfish on flat surface

Haze im usually up all night

I do this all the time. I find it brilliant for those moves you need to concentrate on esp. abdominals. Your pace is more methodical and it just seems to make a workout for effective. I am normally fucked afterwards but it's all irie my friend!

Been doing this for few years now, welcome to the club!

I find I have longer endurance when stoned. Who says stoners are lazy, ey? ;)

I smoke before every workout. Really beneficial apart from giving me slight anxiety in the gym occasionally lol.

If building muscle is your goal I’d recommend it. Smoking really helps with mind-muscle connection, which is a really important factor along with proper form in making sure you’re working the muscle correctly to get those gainz

Just started doing this then seen this post lol

Weight lifting sure, wouldent recommend smoking before cardio.

when i was younger, i would work out for hours while high but it fades the more you smoke.
also working out when not high after that, doesnt usually feel the same.

I love to smoke a bit of hash and go for a run. I run 4 times a week anyways so no biggy, really enjoy running while high though :)

👌✌🏻

The first thing i'm absolutely craving after lifting weights isn't your typical gym bro 'protein' or some heavily marketed unhealthy post workout chemicals

all i'm reaching for is my gear to skin up, although my dexterity isn't quite there right after a workout especially when i end the session on biceps / forearms, rolling a joint right afterwards is more challenging than the workout itself lol

Hazes and Amnesias rock for weight training and medium cardio (hill walking). Plus banging reggae and hip hop for the gym. Yes!

*Edibles* and working out

🤤

I have used a “Mighty” vape with hash it has an adjustable temperature and plenty of accessories for different stuff, works great for me. Little pad of steel wool for oil, also chamber at the top Collects wax like resin after being used to vape hash, can be scraped out and makes for a great smoke

I use a dynavap with cotton bacon(vaping fibre) you can get it from Amazon or eBay, then you don't mess up your screen.

you can at a high heat, but hash leaves alot of oily residue which will block parts of the vape or insert

Thanks mate. I’ve got some high quality dry sift on the way which I might try dabbing but if it doesn’t melt make some rosin. I’ve not tried making it before so could be a fun experiment!

You need to be looking at full-melt bubblehash if you're trying to dab it, dry sift won't really work. You can vape hash though... just a bit fiddly. Like Zappytrocar said, the residue is the main problem... so I put hash into cotton wool, or wrap it in hemp fibre, then put it in the vape (this means you can pull out the whole oily residue mess along with the cotton etc). I've got a dedicated Dynavap just for hash.

Couldn’t find hemp fibre but found a 80% cotton, 20% hemp blend that’s used for e cig wicks and it’s worked a treat. The process will take some refining and I’m puffing on my crafty as I write so haven’t seen the mess yet but I’m certainly enjoying this Porsche stamp dry sift. Thanks! And thanks to grumpybloke if you read this as you also suggested the same! - update - no mess whatsoever!

Cool, sounds like a good hack, thanks for the tip!

Good question as I have been asking and thinking about it also so thank you 😊 everyone for the info.

That’s why the topics page has been so helpful. I used to get my gear and log off but now I love the topics bit because of info like this 👌

Been looking at this which might be a solution 🤷🏻‍♂️

I only really touch hash and I use a s&b crafty plus which does a nice job of vaping.


You have to put in a little insert/pad thingy and have it on a higher heat setting but you really taste the hash and it has the desired effect obvs.

I don’t know about the pax 3 but I’m sure it’ll do the trick.

You can vape teh 5 star ice water hash ma dabber 420 has. Zheetos x g33 x zcake

I've vaped hash in several vapes - you usually need a higher heat setting, but depends on the hash. I used to use a little pure cotten pad that I'd rest the hash on purely to catch any residue as it can a pain to clean otherwise.
Vaping hash can be a lovely experience, good luck!

Certainly 👍👍
I’m about to hit up the Vapman with a Sunday Double Bill : Afghan Black to start followed by Bubble Hash. These work just great but melty hashes will do just that-melt- which is going to cause too much of a mess in the oven.
The Mighty dosing capsules for concentrates work with most things, but the Vapman is exceptional with the right hash..🤩

I have picked up a flower mate for next to nothing to give hash a try in it. Anyone had any experience with it and best advice

Cheers in advance only just got it so just having a mess about with bud in it. Of course it has a separate chamber but how is it with hash?

Going to get a Dynavap at some point seen a BB3 starter kit for £45 quid give or take

This is an old post. I’ve since got a dynavap that I use for hash as you can get a higher heat and it works brilliantly. I use cotton hemp fibre and wrap up a little hash package for vaping.

I have a dynavap and have vaped hash but then had to clean it out. I have not heard of this cotton hemp fibre bit before, but it sounds like it's just what I need!!
