i am curious what your allergy is to mj? have you tried other forms of it like edibles or the higher in CBD tinctures or products? or if edibles weren't an option have you tried vaping or smoking? Not saying you should try it but I am curious how your allergy manifested and what you actually tried before you came to that conclusion.


Yeah, I would wonder what effect THC distillate with added terps would have. And the allergy - is it a food allergy, to cannabis protein or seed protein, or to pollen?


My allergies are not really all that pertinent to the point I am making other than to emphasize that I have no plans to consume marijuana myself, so my position has no ulterior motive wrt me wanting access to marijuana personally. So I have to wonder why on earth that is getting questioned. I have concluded no good will come of me cooperating with answering intrusive personal questions that aren't really even pertinent to the discussion.


How is our responding to the first thing you stated in your comment intrusive or not relevant?


It is intrusive because people are asking for additional details about me. It isn't relevant because it really has nothing to do with the process of managing drug withdrawal.

What in the world makes you think that's a bot's reply?


This crosses into personal attack. That's not ok on HN, so please don't do it.

People who are genuinely making a good faith effort to be helpful don't promptly call people trolls (or bots or other names). Name-calling is never evidence of genuine desire to do a person a good turn.

No, they aren't being helpful, and neither are you. It is lurid interest, at best. I don't owe anyone additional details about it. It isn't relevant to the discussion and I am being down voted for not wanting to answer what are essentially intrusive personal questions. Plus you called me a troll in your other comment, which only emphasizes that your intent here is not positive and not respectful. I am feeling very much like this entire thing has a malicious element to it. None of the comments here are any kind of good faith engagement of my main point.


This is a place for discussion though, I understand people's need for privacy and keeping certain details private, in those cases it's probably best not to interject at all.

I'm allergic to face paint, I don't find it lurid to share that it's really the nickel that my skin finds irritating.


I imagine you would find it weird if you mentioned it in passing while commenting on a different topic and there was some pile on of people insisting you owed them more information about every face painting incident in your entire life because face painting is illegal in your country and also something done a lot by (insert salacious group description).

And even if you are totes cool with that, why do care so very much that I am not? Why do feel so compelled to insist that I owe people answers to personal questions merely because they asked?

Is that really a precedent you want to set? If so, I would like to know your net worth and the log in credentials for your bank account. Please and thank you.
