What was the dumbest thing you have heard anyone say about weed? (lemmy.autism.place)

Several months back, when I told my sister that one of the reasons I'm planning on moving out of South Carolina is because where I'm moving to (Puerto Rico) has a medical weed program that I'm eligible for since I have Autism and ADHD, she told me that medical weed was laced with fentanyl.

Fun fact! Nicotine paralyzes your cilia.

Your cilia are a layer of fine hairlike structures that coat most of your respiratory tract. They whip / beat together rhythmically to push debris filled mucous up and out of your respiratory tract to your pharynx where it can be expelled by coughing or swallowed and processed by your digestive tract. When you smoke, they're paralyzed, allowing debris to build up (and man is there a lot of debris, on account of, y'know, the smoking).

About a week after you quit they wake up and yell,"WHAT THE FUCK IS ALL THIS SHIT?" Imagine if somebody came into your job and roofied you, smeared diarrhea all over the walls, then left. You'd be mad too. Give your cilia lots of water to help thin that mucous out and make their job a little easier during that stage.

Also read up on the other stages of quitting, it'll make it much easier once you're expecting these kinds of things.
