Who's a good boy
I got a couple of STDH stories in the wild today, courtesy of my batshit insane mother in law! :allears:

First of all, she apparently has a priest friend, despite being totally non-religious. But not just any priest, a PSYCHIC priest! Wowee! Apparently the Holy Trinity speaks through him and reveals the future. Not only did he tell her she has a ghost in her house name Jerry, but he also called her out of the blue in the middle of the night to tell her that she was put on this Earth for a purpose! Sometime in the future, someone in the real estate field (she is a mortgage broker) will come to her and confess that he is thinking of committing suicide, at which point God himself will begin to speak through her, and she will be able to convince this poor sap that life is worth living! How very special.

Also, she has another "friend" who is a self-proclaimed "weed doctor"/medicine man. Did you all know that weed is literally a panacea that can cure everything, including brain cancer? Apparently this guy was approached by some people who literally begged him to save their child, who was dying of brain cancer. Chemotherapy didn't cut it, so logically, these people went to some sketchy loser and begged him to inject their daughter IN THE BRAIN with weed oil. And after two months of injecting this weed oil directly into the brain tumour, the tumour shrivelled up and turned black and "died" (lol), and now the child is magically cured! Because that is a thing that can definitely happen. Apparently there are no ethical or medical issues with injecting drug-medicine, made by some whackjob in his basement, into a child's brain. How would he even inject it right into the brain tumour in a non-clinical setting? How would he be able to get through the skull?? Obviously it doesn't matter because it never happened. But for gently caress's sake. She totally believes this happened too, because he also apparently made her some weed-infused soap that cures her back pain. What the gently caress is the placebo effect anyways? And definitely diminished back pain is totally generalizable to curing brain cancer! :byodame:

I'm starting to worry that she is either trolling the schizophrenic ward for her friends, or that she is schizophrenic herself. WTF mother in law, stop unleashing your crazy on me!

Ahaha that is amazing. I am a giant stoner, so it's not like I'm a weed hater--but I am also doing my master's right now in health research and clinical epidemiology, so it's just ridiculous to me. I have to bite my tongue so hard whenever she goes on and on, so as not to cause family drama. I very tongue-in-cheekly told her she should have her buddy publish his results in JAMA if he is literally curing brain cancer, but it went over her head.

I have a friend who is that kind of "weed doctor" and its kinda insufferable. Actually he's not really a friend anymore.

That said, while MJ isn't curing cancer any time soon, there absolutely are parents who are turning to it as a miracle cure to help their ailing children:

http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/07/health/charlotte-child-medical-marijuana/

Schedule-I has really hosed up scientific research on the benefits of MJ and other drugs, so medicine doesn't even fully know of all the things it could be used for. Same with MDMA which has been used at times in clinical psychology and several studies have shown massive benefits.

For sure; if she had said "epilepsy/seizures" instead of brain cancer, and "given orally" instead of "injected into brain tumour", I would have totally been on board. Hell, I'm even considering getting a medical marijuana card for myself cause it helps with my anxiety and depression. But that bullshit story told to me exactly one second after the ghost-preist retardedness made me roll my eyes just a little.

Hasn't MDMA been prescribed in the past for dysphagia? I feel like I read an article a while back about the numerous health benefits of MDMA, but they're negated by regulating agencies because of that whole 'ecstacy' thing.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against people that don't exist. Hell, most of my friends don't exist! But if there's one thing I absolutely can't stand about the non-existent subculture is that virtually no-one starts dating without not first trading inane, non-existent witticisms over the heads of non-existent antagonists who afterwards invariably don't storm out of the room, literally not shaking. Because they don't exist. I loving hate the non-existent subculture and would wish that it went away forever, if it wasn't already. Thanks Obama.
