And they should encourage kids to use it recreationally and inject it into other people’s systems, including children and infants?That’s a ruse to rationalize their intoxication.Well, it looks like the NBA is starting to say what the NFL has been saying for a couple of years now. They would rather use the pain relief of marijuana over using opiates. Saw a show on the VICE channel called Weedequette where they interviewed players who wanted to use marijuana over pharmaceuticals.
I can see their point. It's not physically addictive, and it helps with joint and muscle pain.
Also, the true "gateway drug" is alcohol. Why? Because we all know stories of people who drank too much and did something completely out of character for them......................going home with someone they normally wouldn't, saying stuff they normally wouldn't, etc. Alcohol has been PROVEN to lower inhibitions.
Funny thing about marijuana...................it has zero effect on your inhibitions. If you wouldn't do something sober, the chances of you doing it stoned is little to none. But, you would actually have to smoke some marijuana or eat some edibles to understand that one.
A really good pure Indica strain is great for pain relief and helping you sleep. And, there are no physical side effects. I've met many of my fellow veterans who came back from the wars in the ME, who were put on 10 to 15 pills/DAY for PTSD and other conditions. When CO legalized it for recreational use, they decided to see if it helped. Many of them reduced down to 1 or 2 pills per day, and a lot of them were able to get off the pills altogether. And, they said that they were a lot healthier because they didn't have to endure the side effects of the pharmacy medicine.
Even Valium and barbiturates were created for medicinal reasons. Does that justify intoxication?
