chill out jsut smoke it. your not in any danger. - Bar R

2)   are you fucking serious? lmfao this question is now officially labelled epic failure. - Jenny

3)   im not sure you should ask your doctor. - Falisa

4)   NO, it is your mind that makes your heart race. You get paranoid because there are those who place snares in the paths of thine who smokie the greatest natural cure made by God. - YESHUWISH

5)   Sometimes, Just chill, it all b' 'k. - googleplex

6)   You need to stop. Drugs are for losers - Joseph T

7)   Well obviously it's normal. That's why weed is illegal, because it's extremely dangerous.

Being paranoid is a side effect of cannabis that can even develop to schizophrenia, which is a mental illness that cannot be cured. It makes you hear voices, which usually tell you to commit suicide. Schizophrenia is extreme paranoia is a sad disease.

Your life can just slip away if you use it. - Ant

8)   Well marijuana affects each person differently; of course there are many things that all people tend to experience like dry mouth and "munchies." Do you feel your heart beat rapidly when you first start to feel high? Its probably caused by your awareness that you are getting high so you notice your heart beat and your heart feels like its beating faster because you might be feeling a little anxious. This is normal and nothing to be concerned about. The important thing is to be calm and know that your heart will settle down soon enough. It may seem silly but try to keep telling yourself that you're ok, this will help reassure you that there's nothing wrong and you won't get as paranoid. Hope this helps. - Perfectfifth

9)   Smoking weed makes your body do lots of things, heart racing included.

Paranoia is merely a state of heightened awareness.

If you feel paranoid every time you smoke then either A, stop smoking weed completely, or B smoke less (and work out your own tolerance level, everyone reacts the same when under the influence, but their optimum dosage always differ). - ffrr

Question 2
anyone any home remedies for passing kidney stones!!?...  

Answers
1)   The only thing you have likely heard it before is drink lots of water I had one about a year ago thats what I did. But when it starts to move it will be painful. I feel for you hope it passes quickly - Drew Purdy

2)   Grapes have an exceptional diuretic value on account of their high contents of water and potassium salt. The value of this fruit in kidney troubles is enhanced by its low albumin and sodium chloride content. It is an excellent cure for kidney stones.

4)   take half a glass of lemon juice
mix it with half a glass of extra virgin olive oil
and then drink this

7)   A thick leather thong to bite on because I've heard it hurts like heck.

No, drinking oil isn't going to do anything except make you feel sick and put on weight.

Apart from drinking fluids and biting on something, not a lot else. - Nitram

Question 3
Which is better, hanging or the electric chair?...  "More years than I care to remember"

You know who you are

Answers
1)   Neither - Sandra M

2)   well i would say the electric chair because you take a bit longer to die when your hanged, and also you might crap your pants in the process - Smith and Jones

3)   It would depend on the circumstances, really. Electric chair is the more likely to cause death, however done wrong is horrifyingly painful, and awful to see. Hanging is a cleaner method, however there's more chances for failure, depending if the rope snaps, if the short drop-sudden stop causes their neck to break, or if they are going to dangle there and strangle until they black out, and eventually die, which is rather horrifying to see as well.

With modern technology at our disposal, probably the cleanest, most efficient method with the smallest margin for error would actually be a guillotine. Advances in metallurgy would allow for a blade that is heavy and sharp enough to make a clean, fatal cut; and if you ran a current through the blade to heat it up, it would cauterize the major arteries and capillaries as it cut through the neck, meaning minimal bloodshed. - SteelRain

4)   Not sure why this is in the health category, given both would be bad for your health!

neither is "better", research shows that capital punishment is not a deterrent.

Hanging is quicker, electric chair may take longer, both would induce involuntary bowel movements. - highbury girl

5)   I prefer the Electric Chair, you can also recharge your Ipod when being done.

That bloody rope hurt the last time they hung me. - MICHAEL

6)   It would of course be a matter of personal preference. However I prefer the idea of slipping away in one's sleep at age 104.

EDIT Nice answer Nitram I was thinking back to Roger McGough's Let Me Die a Youngman's Death. I hope no one will mind if I quote it in it's entirety with due respect to it's author.

Let me die a youngman's death
not a clean and inbetween
the sheets holywater death
not a famous-last-words
peaceful out of breath death

When I'm 73
and in constant good humour
may I be mown down at dawn
by a bright red sports car
on my way home
from an allnight party

Or when I'm 91
with silver hair
and sitting in a barber's chair
may rival gangsters
with hamfisted tommyguns burst in
and give me a short back and insides

Or when I'm 104
and banned from the Cavern
may my mistress
catching me in bed with her daughter
and fearing for her son
cut me up into little pieces
and throw away every piece but one

Let me die a youngman's death
not a free from sin tiptoe in
candle wax and waning death
not a curtains drawn by angels borne
'what a nice way to go' death


I have the vinyl of him reciting a number of of his poems, including this one, which I always liked. - Dr Frank

7)   I'll second the doc and add "while on the job with my trophy girl-friend".

However for state murder simple nitrogen will do the job, painless, instant unconsciousness and no knowledge of anything bad happening. Very, very cheep too. - Nitram

Question 4
Can you die from a nicotine overdose?...  I saw someone put three patches on at the same time in a movie once. Wouldn't that kill you or mess with your head a bit?

Answers
1)   Yes too much nicotine will kill you. 3 patches would definitely mess you up. But whether 3 would kill you? That I don't know. I have a friend who uses 2 just to fight of cigarette cravings. lol - iDizzle

2)   its a movie. and no it will not kill you. smoking later in life yeah. - Just a Girl.

3)   nicotine is toxic and you can overdose and die. 3 parches probably not. There was a similar one on Ab Fab where they were trying to get Saffron addicted to cigs by plastering her in patches.

Anyway, don't do it. - Nitram

4)   Yes, you can. Patches typically administer 7-21 mgs of the drug over 16-24 hours. Three times that amount in a single one-time dose would cause death. Smoking doesn't kill instantly because most of the nicotine in a cigarette does not make it into the body. However, eating one would make you violently ill from the sudden dose of nicotine. - Tink

5)   Oh yes.
I don't know if 3 patches would do it.
A friend of mine ate a cigarette once just to see what it was like. He was fine but sick as a parrot. Threw up everywhere. - Brad

6)   Oh yes:

"Green tobacco sickness (GTS) affects individuals involved in tobacco farming, especially during the harvesting season. GTS occurs when nicotine is absorbed through the skin from direct contact with tobacco leaves and enters the bloodstream. Sufferers commonly experience dizziness, nausea, headache and vomiting; less frequent symptoms include abdominal pain, shortness of breath, diarrhoea, altered heart rate and blood pressure, sweating and increased salivation."

Though rare, children and pets have eaten cigarettes and died from nicotine poisoning. - dave

Question 5
Can stress really make your period late? If so, how...and by how long?...  Can stress really make your period late? If so, how...and by how long?
I am about 1 or two days late...I say that because i tend to fluctuate a day or two from cycle to cycle...my last few cycles have been about 27 days apart. I am now on day 29 and still no flow. I practice NFP and avoided intercourse on all fertile days...the days I had intercourse, CD 18-23 and then CD 25 and 26, we used withdrawal...I dont see how i could be pregnant...So could i be delayed from stress? Has this happened to anyone?

Answers
1)   Yes. It varies from person to person. Your cycles can also randomly change - Just because you'd theoretically get it on that date doesn't mean you actually will. Your body isn't a stopwatch or anything. - [ ★♏ . A I R ]

2)   Yes. If you do stop menstruating due to stress factors, how long it will last is normally determined by the length of the stress. [Example] The majority of women in Nazi Concentration Camps during WWII stopped menstruating for 4-5 years while inside the camps. - Diamond Dust

3)   consult your doctor - Sam

4)   Yes ,don't worry about this it is normal, but for solving ur query it is good to check the pregnancy with the help of pregnancy testing kit which is easily available in medical shop . - imam

5)   Yes stress, changes in routine, emotional problems, anything which upsets your normal lifestyle can make your peroid late. I've missed periods when changing jobs, moving house, exam stress etc. Best thing is to do a pregnancy test to put your mind at rest, then concentrate on eliminating stress if possible. You may also want to review your methods of contraception, as they are definitly not fool proof, for example sperm has been known to survive in the vagina for up to 7 days and you may not necessarily ovulate on day 13/14 every month. The withdrawal method is only typically 81% effective, as sperm may be released in small amounts before ejaculation and the rhythm method is only typically 75% effective. Hope this helps, I got really stressed and missed several periods (whilst having negative pregnancy tests) and am now back to normal once stress has gone. - LizzyBee
