| Douglas J Gordon - 2014-01-08 1:49 PM It just seems to me that a company would want to package the Marajuana into an edible treatment because the smoke from inhaling seems to over shadow the benefits. marijuana lung cancer in the future.
The child that I saw on The Doctor's had her seizures stopped by taking two teaspoons a day of oil that came from medical marijuana plants. A teaspoon in the a.m. and another in the p.m. made a profound difference in this child's health and quality of life....not to mention the parents who had gotten to the point of praying for the Lord just to take her. So, I guess just like corn oil, vegetable oil etc. you can get oil from pot, too! |

Dispensaries have plenty of edible marijuana products. They showed a bunch in the movie.
The vapor things are also pretty common as well. (in the movie anyway) |

Location: That part of Texas | HotbearLVR - 2014-01-08 1:18 PM I think we're getting ahead of ourselves now. Like I was saying, we should have most of these questions answered within 5-10 years. I don't want to use pot because I like being sober, however I can see where the option of pot could be enticing. I think if our government continues to plunge us deeper into debt and things start to collapse, a lot of us will be lining up for our doobies. I'm of the belief that most of our congressmen and senators could just as well be stoned anyway.
I don't think the world will wait 5-10 years before the issue is settled. I think you've now got a much shorter gap on legalization, with many states considering putting it to vote in the next year or so.
The biggest difference I can see is the attitude change over the past 3-4 years about possession in non-legal states or even using when you are on probation. It used to be something you knew you had to hide or you knew to at least act a little ashamed to be caught. I now have clients who get mad at me when they are getting their probation revoked over something as "small" as testing positive for smoking weed or getting caught with them on it. Illegal is illegal until it's not. Getting charged with possession has almost gotten to be as big of a joke as public intoxication in many teens/young adults eyes. This change in attitude is not something good IMO. |

| I haven't got time to read the replies. But:
I'd rather be around a pothead than a drunk ANYDAY.
I hope they legalize it, can't wait for the advertising commercials. :)
Also, the only reason it was illegalized in the first place is because hemp was threatening to put the paper business under. SO we have tree paper instead of more pot heads...
PS I feel I'm unbiased. Never smoked it but truly feel it shouldn't be illegal.

This seems like a good thing. What is funny is that we are hearing nothing about lung damage by these people.
They probably already smoke cigs. |

This link explains the immense importance of allowing for the use of true medical marijuana. It needs to be legalized but it needs to be done in the right way without all the silliness of people who just want to be able to legally get high. The frivolity with which some people take this issue is really sad in light of the seriousness of some of the people with serious illnesses that could benefit from a serious discussion and decision on the matter.

Location: SE Louisiana | The motion picture you are about to witness may startle you.
It would not have been possible, otherwise, to sufficiently emphasize the frightful toll of the new drug menace which is destroying the youth of America in alarmingly increasing numbers.
Marihuana is that drug — a violent narcotic — an unspeakable scourge — The Real Public Enemy Number One!
Its first effect is sudden, violent, uncontrollable laughter; then come dangerous hallucinations — space expands — time slows down, almost stands still ....fixed ideas come next, conjuring up monstrous extravagances — followed by emotional disturbances, the total inability to direct thoughts, the loss of all power to resist physical emotions... leading finally to acts of shocking violence... ending often in incurable insanity
In picturing its soul-destroying effects no attempt was made to equivocate. The scenes and incidents, while fictionalized for the purposes of this story, are based upon actual research into the results of Marihuana addiction.
If their stark reality will make you think, will make you aware that something must be done to wipe out this ghastly menace, then the picture will not have failed in its purpose....
Because the dread Marihuana may be reaching forth next for your son or daughter ....or yours
....or YOURS!

runs4fun - 2014-01-08 10:02 AM I've got an idea that would go right along with the ideas of the OP. When you go to the hospital to have major surgery, let's make it illegal to send patients home with pain meds. It's obvious that some of these people are going to end up enslaved to an addiciton to the pain medication. In this computerized world we live in it'll be easy for potential employers to see that you had surgery thus pain meds and assume that you would be a bad employee because you may of gotten addicted to those pain meds that came with surgery.....ummm, need to nip that in bud right now! Pain meds for a bad back....addict! Don't want anyone operating macihinery that might have an addiciton.
Yes, some people get addicted to pain meds but most don't. Again, I'm all for medical marijuana for the right reasons but do not support recreational legalization. The way the OP thinks one might wonder what they were on when they came up with all these compelling arguments that make absolutely no sense!
That's just how his brain works.  It runs in his family...
It appears to me his brain doesn't work. At all. The only reason weed is illegal is because big pharma bribed all the politicians to make it so. God put that weed here for a reason. And the criminal injustice industry isn't about to let it go. |

None of the above has one single thing to do with medical marijuana...again some of the pure silliness and stupid ideas that keeps a potent homeopathic drug out of the hands of seriously ill people whose lives could be changed and or saved by it. |
