Coffee

[I Break Things]

I miss coffee. I could drink any of it. I didn't care how it was made.

I can't even have trace amounts in cake now. It destroys my stomach. Plus, I can't handle any kind of upper. Just makes my PTSD and panic attacks go crazy, and I end up in an ER getting pumped full of enough valium and xan@x (why is this censored?) to euthanize a horse. Thanks for the genetics, mom!

Thats why i smoke. It assists with allot of issues. It really does. Give up coffee for grass ? Na..but, i went from like 11 pills a day (Courtsey of the VA) down to 3 a day, because i decided to smoke rather than injest unknown man made remedies. And it works.

Now, it can seriously help a few issues you touched on. And for those that say smokeing is bad, news flash..the water that comes out of your faucet in any given city USA could be hazardous to one's well being.

Case in point, one of my school mates use to smoke both legal and not so legal back in the school days. Finally at 50 quit smokeing grass, but kept the Marlboros. He is so broken down now that he is hardly recognisable, yet, I'm riding around on quads, camping and at least living life.
Hell, I'm still strong enough that if Wanda stopped by with 5 gallons of Mazola and 6 square feet of plastic drop cloth, she'd leave bow legged.
I see a huge difference between us. Want to be more discrete, eatables.

Bottom line is, if you have issues, this can be good. Do i abuse it ? At times..you bet.
But i control me, not the other way around.
Just say'n is all.



Er..well i did pepper spray my neighbor in the face while under the influence..it was all on the up and up..

Best coffee I've ever had was from a guy who roasted his own beans. Nothing has come close since. He was insistent that coffee quickly looses its pristine flavor in a few days after roasting.

Same here. The single best cup I've ever had was some Ethiopian that had been freshly roasted and ground by a friend. It was simply amazing.

And surprisingly, the taste wasn't as thin as one would associate with Ethiopian.

Glad you feel good, Froggy.

Hust say'n is all.

I've got no issues with weed. I've never had any trouble with someone high on pot. Neither did my dad in 20 years as a LEO. He had plenty of trouble with drunks though. Plus, it's legal here. I've tried it, but I'm actually allergic to it. It makes me extremely ill, and I've tried different methods and strains. None of them work for me, so I had to start seeing a pain management doctor. They have me on regimen of Bentyl 20 or 40 mg (depending how bad my stomach is) four times daily, Percocet 5-325 mg twice daily, and Phenergan as needed for nausea. I'm on Prozac for my psychiatric issues. They've been trying to switch me over to Viibryd over the last couple months, but it makes everything worse so now I'm weening off that and going back to Prozac. It's the only one that works for me.

I don't know if you meant that as a joke or not, but it's royally f***ed up and hilarious at the same time. My kind of humor! Bravo, mate!

French press drinker here for 20 years.Tim Hortons when away from home, these days.Protective factor in some types of cancers? Study data keeps on coming out on the affirmative.Most recent out of Europe,including a meta-analysis of several studies, strongly suggests a relationship between coffee consumption and reduced liver cancer rates,as well as protective factors from cirrohosis.

• Meta-analyses have suggested that coffee consumption versus no coffee consumption is associated with up to a 40% risk reduction of liver cancer, although this appears to be a dose-dependent relationship3-5.
  
  
  
• Research from the US6 and Italy7,8 suggests that coffee consumption is consistently associated with a reduced risk of cirrhosis, with a potential risk reduction of 25-70%.
  
  
  
• Research suggests an inverse association between coffee consumption and risk of chronic liver disease, with an average risk reduction of 25-30% in low coffee consumers, and up to 65% in high coffee consumers9.*.

That black coffee after a hangover may have more science in it yet.The article below goes into more depth...and how receptor blockage can change disease progression.

That is a real bummer.

 

[Caretaker]

I love my coffee. Black, cream, cream and sugar, etc. Different ways for different moods.
If you have a WAWA near you and you need coffee on the run, try the Cuban blend. Truly like nothing else.

I 've heard the other version of that saying --

I want my coffee like my women... cold and bitter

 

[rcole_sooner]

... or this one.

I gave up searching for better coffee. I love my Keurig and found that Tully's Hawaiian is pretty damn good and good enough for me. I like a ton of different K-cups but Tully's makes some great brews

My friend was a mortarman in Iraq, and came back pretty messed up. The pills messed him up, and pot set him straight. I think (I’d have to check) he gets it through the VA somehow.
His family said he’s his old self again.
It’s a wonderful drug, used correctly.

 

[aslatie]

Second break, and a stronger cup. Lord give me strength.

 

[Frogfur]

I don't see it as a drug. Never did. To me its a stimulate.
Don't talk to your VA provider about grass! They're VA government employees! Matters not how they feel about it privately, they don't want to hear it. And, frankly, i don't trust them.

There are providers around that can help you. But if you make referrence to pot, weed, smoke etc, they'll escort you right out the door. Reference it as medicine, and your speaking their language.

that's my new favorite thing

The anecdotal experience keeps piling up,supported by plausible research,cannabis is an effective protective agent against debilitating brain injury...which can be traumatic....or age related degeneration.Not the fountain of youth..lol...but a much improved quality of life,for many.

"…various cannabinoids rescue dying neurons in experimental forms of acute neuronal injury, such as cerebral ischaemia and traumatic brain injury.”

the jury has not reached a scientific conclusion and explanation,yet, but the evidence continues to support the possibilities. Hope for stroke patients too.Stay well froggy!

I'm exhausted. Hiding in a toilet. I need another cup. My eyes scout and scan the area, and I weep as I see the last cups of coffee being drained to some random customer.
