safe alcohol ??? safe marijuana ???
Sep 10^th, 2008 at 3:13pm

Not to sound like an alcoholic but is there a safe drink out there that is not a trigger ?? I'm a red wine drinker and from my experience when the beast is around I cant even look at a bottle without cringing. Years ago when I had no idea what a trigger was I would notice just after half a glass the beast made his presence known. As for the pot does anyone know if there is a certain strain out there that is not a trigger ?? Thanks

HatetheBeast,

You can try Michelob Ultra it hasn't been much of a trigger in my case. Something you may also want to look into is Absinthe. I personally have not but there are some very interesting characteristics of its makeup in regards to things that may benefit ClusterHeads. I am ending this current cycle but next cycle (hopefully 2 years from now) I will be trying Absinthe.

As far as Pot goes, I have no idea and probably never will. Please though update us on results from Absinthe if you give it a go. Thanks!

Gee,

Geewilly

is giving advice in a manner fitting a troll. Or maybe his brain has been softened up by the consumption of too much Absinthe if he believes there are different kinds of ethanol, or some of the ingredients from wormwood (from which Absinthe is made) does counteract the vasodilatory action of alcohol. Or did he just drink too much methanol (used in furniture polish) to become such an idiot.

My advice: Ignore any recommendation of

Geewilly

, as he, in the manner of a good troll, gives advice that leads into the wrong direction

I myself am not triggered by alcohol, but I'm betting if it does trigger you... I'd stay away from any form of it. You could always look at the non-alcoholic drinks and see if there's some kind of mix that might mimic it for you. Placebo effect and all. I myself get sparkling grape juice.. ^^;

With the pot, no clue. I only know that the smoke from it alone will trigger me.

As far as I'm concerned, cluster busting has been the best treatment I've tried. No migraines since I started it, and my hits have gotten so much better. Wanna know more?

[quote author=5C7A676464080 link=1221074013/0#7 date=1221089279]HatetheBeast,

Mich Ultra is the bear that I drink....except while in cycle. It is alcohol and alcohol is a trigger. BTW, one may argue that a hit is coming anyway so might as well drink. For me, the hit will ALWAYS be worse if I have a drink. Plus, if I am having some PF time, out with friends or family, why ruin it by bringing the hit on? I choose to enjoy my good moments while I have them.

AlienFace,

I am not trying to claim that Absinthe will work I am basically inquiring. You dismiss Thujone rather quickly especially since there has been much documentation on its possible hallucinogen effects (enough that it was banned all over the world at one time). Mind you, that some will swallow 30-40 seeds of something to maybe block a receptor or two!

“Effects of Absinthe have been reported variously as a clearness of thought, increased creativity and speech and minor hallucinogenic effects. These effects may be due to the effect thujone has on the Gaba-A receptors of the brain. By blocking these receptors, an absinthe drinker's brain is free to fire faster and more frequently.”

You are the epitome of a Troll if you continue with thinking inside of a box that conventional meds keep most of us locked in!

P.S. I saw in a post where someone was authentically shocked that a tincture that contains skullcap L. and grain alcohol actually seemed to work for someone!

P.S.S. Are you trolling a Troll?

P.S.III. Hiya Brew!

I forgot to add:

It doesn't matter a whole lot to me but the negative rep points I get is pretty redundant by a very small amount of people that I know hate my points of view.

P.S. I have never actually trolled any topic within this site. I was involved in one bad topic that really did bring about some re-evaluation on this site to many longtime posters.

P.S.S. How does Mrs Deej give a +2? Can normal people give a +2? Is there a clique here? Brew you received a +2 by a moderator (and it was for something pretty lame)!

HatetheBeast,

Forgive any suggestion I gave...I am obviously a bad person and I must want to hurt you. People on here our very kind if you are in-line with alot of their bs!

P.S. They have absolutely contributed nicely to anything that you originally posted. Either that or they just Trolling a Troll!

Could one of you wise-asses atleast make an attempt at the original post instead of bashing me?
