To say one doesn't have to picture it to know what it means I think in part is true because when you self analyze you can find the meaning but I think with everyone else that the visual comes with the word but is so fast that we don't realize it. Like imagining a smell. We know what lemons smell like and for a fleeting moment we can see and smell them when we think of them. It is automatic.
It reminds me of those people who cannot recall what happened five seconds ago.
I am going to tell you something and many people are going to disagree but first of all only adolescents are really at risk for schizophrenia from OVERUSE of marijuana and all medications have risks. You could do far, far, worse on prescription meds.
do not quit searching for an answer but if the CBD capsules, or wax, or flower help you then use it. It was put here for a reason and has been used safely for thousands of years. Find yourself a good caregiver who will help you with types and dosages. find a holistic doc that will help you also. I know you want it as a last resort, there is such a horrible stigma. Up to you of course. If you do CBD capsules there is no THC or at best trace amounts, so you do not get 'high' but the cannabinoids do their work. Now me I love my wax and flower and occasionally do heavy indica medibles in the evening to help with sleep and the THC and the CBD help me with anxiety, severe bipolar II depression, premenstrual dysphoria, menopause, insomnia, migraines, IBS and some types of pain.

Wow, you actually hit the nail on the head. I've tried to explain it to so many people but that's the part I have trouble getting past. Most people say they don't get a visual with words or idea. That's why I say "automatic" flash or visual you get going along with the word. It just brings your previous experience or association of that word to light as soon as you hear/say it. Gives the word meaning for you automatically.
Honestly, I have no issues at all with marijuana. I'm just trying to cater to others' opinions when it comes to forums. I've noticed many on health forums don't entirely agree with it. Certain health forums don't even let you speak of marijuana unless you're condemning it or discussing how you quit lol.
Trust me, I feel it's 10x better than most prescription meds. People have placed way too much trust in big pharma and I'm glad all that corruption is coming to light. We have hundreds of chemicals put in popular make ups and directly used products in the US that are banned from usage in many countries. It all comes down to $$$. I've done tons of research on marijuana and I do believe it's a big problem IF you start smoking too young. I've seen it turn people into losers for the rest of their life over and over again when they start in early high school while important brain development is still occurring. I don't see nearly as many detrimental problems caused by weed as I do from prescription drugs and a lot of people smoke weed now a days.
The only reason I want it as a last resort is when I was doing it, I still wasn't the same smart kid I was before. I was just in a much better, smarter place than I am currently. I also don't want to rely on something that will consume $$ monthly unless I have to. It also made it impossible for me to exercise and we all know how important exercising is. It effects everyone differently because I know tons of pot heads that exercise just fine. It made it so when I did something active, the muscles I used would hurt immensely for like 5 minutes after use. Like really, really bad pain, not soreness or anything (I have a high pain tolerance). Have you ever experienced that? The fact that I had been so inactive for like a year prior to that exercise wise could've contributed but it stopped happening when I quit.
Thanks for translating and understanding my issue. Going to use it to explain to people. It could help a lot!
