Medical Marijuana--

WHat are your thoughts???

Morrigoon · 06-13-2008, 10:46 PM

For ACTUAL medical purposes like the relief of cancer pain, okay.

If they use it for post-surgical pain relief, then it will be counter productive for Gastric stapling patients. "Man, I'm hungry..."

My thoughts are it is a moot issue since it shouldn't be illegal for recreational use.

Wow! Nice of you to pop in just to discuss political stuff again. Bored, lately?

As long as I don't have to smell it, I don't mind.

I have that opinion about farts.

Agreed, only if it is for serious pain.

Not Afraid · 06-14-2008, 01:41 AM

Sure, why not. I used to drink to kill all sorts of pain.

I'm with Alex. Pot seems a lot less of a problem to society than drinking.

And I know plenty of people, including my HIV brother on a cocktail of "Drugs" (read: poison) that medical MJ helps. He has a prescription and card, and visits the pot stores.

There are a lot of other elicit drugs that have been used for medical purposes, so why not pot? It's because the burocrats have backed themselves into a corner with their "war on drugs" that they can't get out of with out admitting they were wrong, thats why!

From what I can tell, the active ingredient in pot, THC, is not nearly as effective when synthetic and swallowed as a pill. Anyone know if that is correct?

So, if they can convert some tobacco feilds over to pot, and taxed it, everyone would win, it seems to me.
