C-bus Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 its also crap and does not work very well.I wouldn't say that. Institutionalized patients benefit from its effects. Smoking a big fatty while in bed with an O2 concentrater running isn't ever going to be an option for them. It brings relief to nausea and stimulates the appetite. Regardless .... I'm not only a proponent of medical marijuana, but the decriminalization of it in total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drc32-0 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Just legalize it,it's much less harmful than alcohol.I'd go one step farther,allow personal use cultivation,strickly regulate it and kiss the state deficit good bye.Think of the cottage industry it would create,it could be even larger than the cottage industry of illegal marijuana.We obviously didn't learn anything from prohibition...illegal makes the criminals rich and creates violence,legal produces government revenue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Would marijuana have such a backing for medicinal uses if it wasn't illegal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Would marijuana have such a backing for medicinal uses if it wasn't illegal?Yes. I have seen it work wonders for a cancer patient (my father). It brought back his appetite and countered the nausea he was feeling due to chemo and other meds. I agree with Drc, alcohol is much worse for you. Edited May 13, 2011 by max power 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 how many deaths do you have each year from someone smoking and going out and driving there car?!?!?! barely any if at all... How many drunk driving deaths are there each year!?!?!? more than we can count!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Drc, alcohol is much worse for you.i agree alcohol is much worse, and the downward spiral alcoholism will take you on is a much worse path than smoking in my opinion.

How many drunk driving deaths are there each year!?!?!? more than we can count!!this is unfair as you would have to do a percentage of people driving while high as opposed to drinking which will never be available. i have never tried pot and feel no need to but whatever if it can be a form of revenue and help people then legalize it.. no skin off my back.. plus then i can buy stock in fast food and junkfood companies and make a fortune..

Bkizz Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 If it does become legal my girlfriend will have to find a new reason to hate. Whenever she hears the word "pot" her face scrunches up like she just smelled a turd. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIJI-9-Brother Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 the side effects of smoking bud are three and only three... HUNGRY, HAPPY, SLEEPY (as quoted by Katt Williams) can't argue with a pimp, or you will get slapped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIJI-9-Brother Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 oh and we can't know what the effects of legalizing will be because it's never been in recent history, before the cotton industry (slaves basically) the US used hemp as a major source of income and used it for everything from paper to soap and food products so... looks like politics wins over practicality as usual... get your head out of your ash and realize the potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buxnut Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I wrote a paper in college on the legalization of marijuana. if it were regulated and taxed the same as tobacco, the national debt could be eradicated in four to five years. There were facts to back this and I found them at that time, but damned if I can find any of that stuff now. *This was cough-twentyoneyearsago-cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a police officer friend who told me he has never responded to a call from someone getting high then beating the shit out of their G/F or wife. Alcohol?? almost daily. I've never smoked weed myself or have the desire to but it sure seems much safer than alcohol to me. The only problem I see with all these states passing medical marijuana laws is that it is still against Federal law. I've never heard of the Feds going after end users or people running the shops to purchase it from but who says they wont start someday?

FIJI-9-Brother Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Why should they tax it? Why not just de-criminalize it and leave us the fuck alone? There is no reason to tax me for a plant growing in my basement. Take us to church Papa!! Preach brother Preach!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
