Fortunately in Canada, where Cannabis is perfectly legal, we can buy edible oils which contain clinical grade CBD, THC or both. The prices are 25% of what the black market used to charge. And yes, there still is a grey market.

Effect of Cannabis use on hearing
- Thread starter abdo123

I hae had similar experiences where it really enhances the experience, however, I've found that some strains, notably Sativa, exacerbate my tinnitus and make everything considerably worse.
Just an anecdotal tale of personal experience in response to those who maintain that cannabis inhibits cognitive abilities...
In the early 70's when I was pursuing my undergraduate studies, the professor of a physics course I was taking was infamous for inflicting outrageously challenging exams, which consisted of a near-impossible mix of formula-based and essay questions, on his students. (At the time, even 4-function calculators were quite expensive, so their use during exams was forbidden.) Instead of a midterm and final, as was the university norm, he administered four exams during the semester, which all counted equally toward 80% of each student's course grade, with the remaining 20% determined by weekly lab quiz performance. No one ever finished one of his exams early, and no one ever scored 100%. Ever.
I spent a great deal of time preparing for the 2nd or 3rd exam - don't recall which, because I was having difficulty assimilating the material that would be covered, and was afraid I was going to bomb the test. On the morning prior to the test, I still just wasn't getting it. It was nearly time to leave for the exam. Finally, I resigned myself to absorbing the grade hit and decided to at least take the exam in a better frame of mind, so I smoked a fattie of fresh Acapulco Gold before leaving for the lecture hall.
To my surprise, answers to the test questions came easily to my mind. Whether those answers were correct or not remained to be seen. I finished the 50-minute exam 10 minutes early and left, wondering how badly I had done. I was again surprised when the professor handed back the graded exams and announced that there had been exactly one perfect score. It was mine!

I listen to music constantly and I am usually stoned when I listen to music. Oddly enough I find it helps me notice a lot of inner detail compared to not stoned. It also helps to slow me down a bit in that I don’t loose focus as easy.

It is true, there an enhancement in the way you perceive sound with weed. And I hate to say it because I do not want to get someone addicted but in fact it is so good that it outlives a climax that forbids any addiction because it leaves one in awe and being in awe is a non-reproducable effect that resonates for a lifetime and that awe inducing thing is listening to (good) music on another substance with three letters ***

There are only negatives with chronic cannabis use. Short term use is a non-concern in most people unless they have underlying or undiagnosed psychiatric disorders.

Why only negatives? There is f.e. enhanced activity in the insular cortex of the brain from weed. This is the region responsible for empathy. The plants support empathy because it leads to more connectivity and connectivity is what everything; what the universe aspires to. We are connectivity buildings agents, just like the plants but vastly more capable. They are our sisters tho and they will help along the way.
Inhaling any kind of smoke, psychoactive or not, can't be good for you.

Back in the day the devil's lettuce was the cheapest audio add on making almost any system sound great and great systems sound like endgame. . Now that I am older the effects are totally gone. It was not subjective back in the day. Music just sounded much better using standard reggae procedures.

Best to tell them it's from the five police cars parked out front and watch them hide in the closet.

The problem I have with that study is it compares one cigarette to one joint. That's an odd rate of consumption. First, smokers often smoke a pack or two a day. Only the most massive stoner is going to smoke 20 to 40 joints in a day. (Hi Snoop Dog) Second, most people will take maybe 3 or 4 hits off a joint and pass it around, smokers maybe 20 hits off a cigarette. I in no way am saying smoking weed is healthy nor am I endorsing such but if a study is going to compare tar intake and such from weed vs tobacco average daily (weekly, whatever) consumption.
What are these supposed long term use issues?
Exactly, while smoking might be the most popular form of consumption it's by no means the only one and personally I'll never advocate for smoking, you can get a vaporizer for like <$100, my VaporGenie for example was $50 back in ~2010 and 15 years later still works as new (not electronic/digital so there's that) so I'd say it's well worth the investment even if you go for a more expensive model, it's your health afterall.
Recently bought a Dynavap M7 XL (also an "analog" vaporizer) which has a 0.1g chamber and with close to 0 tolerance (had smoked maybe 10-15 times in 5 years) those 0.1g are enough for ~3h of effects, I use mostly at night for insomnia and occasionally if nauseous, feeling discomfort/pain or stuff like that, kinda surprised that even with daily consumption (almost 2 months now) that 0.1g still does the job just fine for me, also some might prefer edibles but yeah, point is even when you do find some studies on smoked tobacco vs weed I'd say it's not realistic assuming people will smoke >20 joints/day (>10g/day) as they often do with cigarettes, making it a pretty unfair comparison that also doesn`t account for other forms of consumption

Excessive fast food bills.
Food perhaps, but can't get me stoned enough to eat fast food.
I had no idea that cannabis use can cause tinnitus, only found that earlier tonight in a Benn Jordan video I watched, link below

It makes everything, even "bad" music sound better.
I learned this the hard way the first time I got high at 16. Was at a friend's and he found his older brother's stash. We smoked too much and my friend got out his new record "Some Girls" by The Rolling Stones. I was amazed at the sound. It sounded so real and was the best music I had ever heard.
The next day I went to the local record store to get my own copy. Brought it home and started playing it on my dad's system.
WTF?!. It sounded like crap and I hated it.
Ridiculous.
Who is this Benn Jordan?
