I have a co-worker whose husband has Crohn's disease who went though 20 different types of drugs to try and help wit the symptoms and none worked near as good as MJ does and all had far more side effects than MJ. I think far too many people discount it because of the "they just want to get high" trope

my wife is epileptic.....pot is the only thing that stops the tremor she has in her left hand....no other drug did that....her Neurologist reported this to UC Irvine med center were a study of its effect on Epileptics is going on...

this is like Nixon goes to China

South Carolina Republican introduces bill to decriminalize marijuana at federal level

Rep. Nancy Mace said she is trying to build GOP support for the bill, drawing a rebuke from a top Republican in her state.

In the sense that what Nixon did had monstrous consequences, yes.

Pot is an INCREDIBLY dangerous and addictive drug.

So is caffeine, and yet here I sit sipping my coffee out of my Christmas mug. Are you going to try and take it away from me next?

people only want the drugs they dont do to be illegal...other wise the ones they do are ok....

 

[Blues Man]

Only that's it a schedule I drug.

Arbitrary classifications.

Whiskey has no purpose other than to get a person drunk why isn't that a schedule 1 drug?

 

[MinTrut]

It's a plant. There's no valid argument against legalization.

Heroin: A plant.

It can be argued that alcohol has destroyed more lives than any other drug

hersay doesn't count for medical reasons, and I don't believe it at all.

Conclusion: The incidence of emotional disorders is higher in Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis compared to general population. Moreover, depression and anxiety influence the course and the severity of the underlying intestinal disease. Hence, it is important to consider appropriate psychological therapy in IBD patients.

Your link actually gives a good reason to let people use pot to control it.

Heroin: A plant.

Heroin is made from morphine

Opium poppies are the source of morphine, heroin is not the product of the poppy

 

[Blues Man]

Exactly.

It's pure hypocritical nonsense

depression and anxiety

isn't that the reason most people smoke cannabis.

Heroin: A plant.

heroin is not a plant.....

 

[Blues Man]

Its bound to be legal since you all get high off of it. Whatever makes you escape from reality.

or to allow looking at reality (whatever that is) in a different way

 

[odanny]

It's going to eventually happen and the nation will prosper from it. A matter of time.

That time is now.

 

[CowboyTed]

It should be legalized across the country. States can tax it like they do tobacco. I'd bet it would be a gold mine for every State.

Tax it, Regulate it... Treat it like alcohol...

Tax relief for the microbrewery type places and give them an advantage over the corporates...

i dont think so.....they smoke it for the same reason someone gets off of work and goes and buys a 6 pack and drinks it while watching TV....to put a buzz on....

 

[Penelope]

You can ingest whatever you chose, but with cannabis and alcohol you can't drive and I don't want you to drive if smoke or drink.
