Anecdotes are weak evidence, but personal experience is the only thing that matters here. Scourge said, "I've tried it several times and found it unpleasant." It's not a myth that he felt like this. 

Fwiw I too have never had a pleasant experience: never felt relaxed, never had the giggles, never got the munchies, etc. I'm not sure if I would call my experience paranoia, but I become anti-social and want to be left alone. What makes it worse is that I feel guilty for feeling this way when everyone else is socialiable. The only times I've had a different experience were when I decided to drink, too. Then, I feel violently ill on top of the extreme self-consciouness.

I mean, to be fair, I'm open to someone who is more educated. I also took him saying that it was a "myth," to mean that those strains weren't actually designed for that. Perhaps I'm wrong.

Maybe it's just one type gets you up and going more than the other. I don't know, my experience is pretty limited because it's never worked, but from the way people talk about how the stuff they use works for them, I'd be more than willing to try it again. I've even had Doctors recommend it...or if not recommend it, ask me if I've tried.

Yeah, I might have misread that "myth" part. In any event, I would be open to recommendations, too. My body is broken.

Does testing positive for Marijuana get them punished?

Friend who is a Prison Corrections Officer regularly tests positive as do most of the others who actively patrol the tiers. So much pot smoked inside they breathe it whether they want to or not - and they confiscate a bunch of it.

Policy there is 'no harm, no foul' for the positive tests because they know the reality. Second hand smoke from the users. Their reality is those users in the cell blocks are generally less of a problem than those who don't smoke it.

------------------------

So testing positive gets one banned while getting arrested as a John soliciting whores doesn't? No "morals clause" in the mix?

CBG is non psychoactive.   Doesn't get you "high" It's like taking a muscle relaxer.

No offense to Gilman but if he ever tested positive for anything, it wouldn't be for weed of all things

Is testing positive from second hand smoke a thing?   In a well ventilated open air prison.    Weird.
