Interested in gout

A good answer to my tough response to you.
I seriously doubt if you have had more experience with the substance
than I have but then again my experience was from a different day
and with a different world. People were shooting at us when I
started using it heavily although I had done it on wekends regularly
in the states before I left in 72 for a place called Vietnam. It was
an all expenses paid vacation trip too and I think the pressure of
thinking that someonw was going to shoot me every day, every night,
24-7 was in fact made easier to deal with by the weed. That was where
we first met Mr. Thai stick and it always left me in a stupor for
many days in a row. I quit when I saw two of my buddies fall, all
three of us were very very high, one in front of me and one beside
me, and I was so out of it I didn't even hear where the shots came
from. I decided after reflecting on it for a few weeks that it was
pretty stupid of me to be high in that situation. One of my wounded
buddies didn't make it and the other said, and I'm trying to quote
him, "Hey dude, it don't hurt that much, and I get a ticket out-a
here now."
If I were sitting at home with the gout, knowing I didn't have to go
to work, and it were legal, say like in Holland, I might try it too.
I wasn't condeming you and I appreciate it that you didn't take it
that way.
From what you said I do find it valuable and worth having read your
post that you believe it made your gout attack worse. That is, after
all the subject of this forum, gout, and the fact that it made the
pain worse does not surprise me. I found the same thing when I was
laid up after a motorcycle accident when I was 18 before I went to
Nam. It made my leg hurt terribly and I remember being surprised at
the time. I agree that it probably increases your tactile
sensitivity, at least for a while and this is probably one of the
reasons people enjoy it's use so much-i.e. enjoy it for bedroom
recreation...
Good luck with your gout and you sound very young to be afflicted
with it.
Are you on allopurinol?
