Weed and gout
My wife is convinced that smoking pot triggers gout attacks. Shebases her claim on the fact that I tend to get gout attacks whensmoking heavily (when actually I smoke heavily during an attack todull the pain). I suppose it can have a secondary effect in that Itend to eat more of the offending foods (pizza, nachos, etc) when Ihave the munchies, combined with the dehydration that being stonedcan cause. Anybody have any similar stories/ experiences? I DOknow that cannabis indica is a better analgesic than cannabis sativa.

I’ldno..guess if you have “VISIONS”..of the Hostess truck..I don’tknow about the actual dehydration affect..aside for the GeorgeThorogood..”‘Cause you know when you’re mouth’s gettin’ dry..you’repretty high”..I have heard of a “stiffening ” of the joints..in dopesmokers/There was a thread about this here..it is in the archives…Idon’t think there was a conclusion..I think it ended with the quoteabout someone saying they would suck on a car exhaust pipe if theythought that would help..
