I promise you that the people who decided that CBD is Schedule I absolutely do not give a single flying gently caress about goofy strain names, also states are implementing MMJ programs at a very rapidly increasing pace, so weed is actually being taken more seriously as medicine than ever before and it's gaining steam, hth

its more likely that weed will continue to trend towards being as socially acceptable as beer and wine and people will be discussing the particulars of strains like they do fine wines (people already do in legal states). the stigma is quickly disappearing.

I'm well aware of how dumb it sounds when the guy at the liquor store by me calls me to let me know about the shipment of locally brewed single-hop Citra IPA they just got in. Wine people have far more ridiculous and specific descriptors for the wines they taste.

It's kind of funny but also kind of sad when I see my parents and all their friends at holidays. I'm almost 100% sure nearly all of them smoke weed now, but the stigma is so ingrained in them that nobody wants to be the first person to bring it up and have a conversation about it, even as they discuss at length the wines they're drinking. It is funny to see how closely they toe the line sometimes, like the one family friend who's referred to passing the wine bottle around as "puff puff pass" the last few gatherings

basic hitler posted:not the brand names but generic chemical names follow a pretty sane naming convention yes and the actual chemical components in weed follow that same naming convention. the silly names for different strains do the same job as the silly names pharma companies use for drugs, it's branding. none of this has anything at all to do with how seriously any of the substances are taken as medicine. marijuana has more silly strain names than in previous eras and, at the same time, it's taken more seriously as medicine than in the past.

i think the difference here is that those strains represent sometimes trivial variances in alkaloid content and medicine usually doesn't 'do' like that.

basic hitler posted:not the brand names but generic chemical names follow a pretty sane naming convention The actual compound names may look to the passing eye like they're getting more complicated and weird, but they do still follow conventions. Anti-cancer drugs are the main one I hear people talking about; their names sound really bizarre; for example Brentuximab sounds like a collection of random syllables, but the -tuxi- part indicates it's of chimeric origin (as opposed to strictly human [-tumu-] or mouse-originating [-tumo-] among others), and the -mab part indicates it's a monoclonal antibody as opposed to some other type of protein or compound. On the other side, entire books could be (and probably have been) written about pharmaceutical brand names. Those brands may sound weird but millions of dollars went into researching if a name "feels" right based on what it does. Ambien and Lunesta are good examples in that they're pretty obviously evocative of sleep, but even the weirder ones more than likely have been found to trigger sympathetic responses or whatever.

"welbutrin" and "zyban" are the exact same drug (bupropion), one is marketed as an antidepressant and the other is marketed as a smoking cessation aid.

When you take bupropion at different dosages and your body becomes conditioned to it; it acts well as both, absolutely.

concerta is literally just time-release ritalin is another example. Also ADHD drugs are frequently also prescribed to people with narcolepsy. TBH, on an empirical level that actually makes a lot more sense, "give amphetamines to people who can't stay awake" vs "give amphetamines to people who already can't sit still"

I think regardless of the origins of these names there's no evidence that the silliness of weed strain names is leading to any sort of decline in its use as medicine.

Also, "sour diesel is a sativa-dominant with a distinct lemony flavor" is about as helpful/legit as "Excedrin is a combination of aspirin and caffeine." Robitussin Cough, Cold & Cough, and Severe Cold all have similar brand names but different quantities/types of drugs in them.

It's less calmness and more focus, which leads to a calmer appearance since I'm not bouncing around from topic to topic rapidfire. Put a kid on Adderall who usually responds really well in an empty room and they'll behave the same way as a meth-head. That calm affect is way less "this drug is relaxing me" and way more "this drug is amping me the gently caress up but I'm also totally zeroed in on what I need to get done."

Earwicker posted:yeah maybe weed should try that direction Yeah I mean if you do coding from home as a job or whatever, it would be pretty helpful to be able to assume that a strain called Eureka or Concentration is probably a better fit for you than a strain called Trainwreck or Mind Eraser or whatever. (Which is not a great example since Trainwreck is a real strain and is strongly sativa-dominant )

My dad has a friend who had a stroke so half his face is paralyzed, I remember the first time me and my sis met him my dad talked to us and said something like, "My friend can't move the right side of his face, this happened to him because he decided to try weed for the first time, don't be like him guys stay away from weed." It worked pretty loving well until I turned 16 and was like, gently caress it, I don't care if my face becomes paralyzed. Thankfully my face is fine, besides the horrible ugliness.

I don't think that's really the case these days. It was true in earlier days of the War on Drugs but I don't think a significant voting portion of the American public really holds that view of weed anymore, there are probably more people on the right and left that agree about weed than otherwise, the reason it's still illegal in much of the country at this point is inertia and investment in the law enforcement/prison system. In many parts of the country - even in places where its still illegal - that stigma is long gone.

http://time.com/money/4622174/donald-trump-inauguration-day-free-marijuana/quote:As a response to a potential threat to legal weed, a Washington, D.C.-based group is planning an epic pot giveaway to coincide with the inauguration of Donald Trump on Tuesday, January 20. The plan, organized by DCMJ, which spearheaded the earlier effort to legalize the growing and possession of pot in the District, is to gather at DuPont Circle at 8 a.m., and then march to National Mall. “Along the way we’ll hand out 4,200 joints of legally grown cannabis!” a statement from DCMJ explains. I didn't want to go to the inauguration but I tihnk I have to now.
