Sessions wants to prosecute medical pot! Winning ! Freedom!!

[Bush92]

Oh and let's not forget state freedoms !

I guess Jeff is upset that sick people are smoking weed . They should be in jail instead !

Jeff Sessions personally asked Congress to let him prosecute medical marijuana providers

That is so regressive. I'd much rather see all this energy and money spent on meth and heroin

Agree. They are killers.

Medical marijuana is a scam.

I am not all that sure that it isn't a scam

For the most part it is. I worked on one and all of their "patients" were college kids getting prescriptions for stress.

Mostly old retired people who smoked it in the 1960's are using it for inflammation, not college kids..

Not one person I saw was over 30. And I'm sure they built it within walking distance of Arizona State to help all those old folks.

ok----it has a HUGE potential for abuse----lots of the abuse of the "for profit" kind

 

[Siete]

a lot of kids are reaping huge medical benefits from the THC in pot ...
anyone that says different is a fucking moron ... like mikieboi

 

[Missouri_Mike]

I smoke regularly

Yeah, we know.

Lol right? All that mucus on my brain and I'm still 10X smarter than you

I ate some chocolate with THC in it for side effects from ( you know what )

I got so paranoid and lazy , I couldn't wait for it to get out of my system. I don't like how it makes me feel..

Some people are like that. Some people aren't.
There is also a good chance the edible was highly concentrated. I've made butter that knocked my dick in the dirt.

Butter? Pot butter, damn you can put that stuff in anything.

I could care less about marijuana as long as it's treated like tobacco and kept away from youngsters. I'm much more worried about the really dangerous stuff that is actually KILLING people or destroying their lives and their families. All that money spent on marijuana enforcement could be better spent.

First of all you're assuming I give a shit if people smoke it. Second, just don't call it what it isn't and the push for medical had nothing to do with medicine.

Medical marijuana is a scam.

Tell that to the terminal patients using it for relief.

Is there no boundaries that a Republican can cross that are not sacred or too far for you?

I'd love to knock the teeth out of someone who tried to take pain relief from my family as they are dealing with life ending scenarios.

Obama tried to undermine the act as well. yet there was little stories at Washington Post about it then

Oh the hypocrisy!

 

[BlindBoo]

Big pharm unleashed opioids on us turning everyone into heroine addicts . That's ok!

Smoking pot? Baaaad. Cause people can just grow their own! No big pharm needed .

It's legal to grow poppies((Papaver somniferum).

Are they the "right" poppies? Don't know I would ever leave the garden if I grew those.

Yep. All versions of Papaver Somniferum have some opium alkaloids, but even the highest % yielding plants are completely legal to grow. I've never grown them but as I get older and they put the crunch on vicodin, I just might make room in my garden.....

 

[debbiedowner]

I just drink beer.

I complain and make demands and shop

My ex must have had medical problems all through our marriage...that's all she did.

Does that tell you something? LOL

Science Calls Out Jeff Sessions on Medical Marijuana and the "Historic Drug Epidemic"

Amid a drug crisis that kills 91 people in the U.S. each day, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has asked Congress to help roll back protections that have shielded medical marijuana dispensaries from federal prosecutors since 2014, according to a letter made public this week. Those legal controls—which bar Sessions’s Justice Department from funding crackdowns on the medical cannabis programs legalized by 29 states and Washington, D.C.—jeopardize the DoJ’s ability to combat the country’s “historic drug epidemic” and control dangerous drug traffickers, the attorney general wrote in the letter sent to lawmakers.

The catch, however, is that this epidemic is one of addiction and overdose deaths fueled by opioids—heroin, fentanyl and prescription painkillers—not marijuana. In fact, places where the U.S. has legalized medical marijuana have lower rates of opioid overdose deaths.

A review of the scientific literature indicates marijuana is far less addictive than prescription painkillers. A 2016 survey from University of Michigan researchers, published in the The Journal of Pain, found that chronic pain suffers who used cannabis reported a 64 percent drop in opioid use as well as fewer negative side effects and a better quality of life than they experienced under opioids. In a 2014 study reported in JAMA The Journal of the American Medical Association, the authors found that annual opioid overdose deaths were about 25 percent lower on average in states that allowed medical cannabis compared with those that did not.

Marijuana can be habit-forming, at least psychologically, but the risks are not in the same league as opioids. A 20-year epidemiological review of studies concluded that more than nine out of 10 people who try marijuana do not become dependent on the drug. The review paper, published in 2014, said the “lifetime risk of developing dependence among those who have ever used cannabis was estimated at 9 percent in the United States in the early 1990s as against 32 percent for nicotine, 23 percent for heroin, 17 percent for cocaine, 15 percent for alcohol and 11 percent for stimulants.”

Also, unlike the case with opioids, it is virtually impossible to lethally overdose on marijuana—because a user would have to consume massive quantities in a prohibitively short time. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) says such a fatal result is very unlikely. Meanwhile, heroin-related overdose deaths have more than quadrupled since 2010. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that from 2014 to 2015 heroin overdose death rates increased by 20.6 percent—causing nearly 13,000 deaths in 2015.

Many heroin users in the U.S. first become addicted to legally prescribed painkillers, and turn to heroin after their pill supply dries up or becomes too expensive. According to the NIDA, nearly half of young people who inject heroin abused prescription opioids first.

And a significant number of pain sufferers would apparently prefer to use medical marijuana instead of prescription painkillers. A studypublished in July 2016 in Health Affairs explored what happened to Medicare (Part D) painkiller prescriptions after states green-lighted medical marijuana laws, and found that a typical physician in a state with medical cannabis prescribed 1,826 fewer painkiller doses for Medicare patients in a given year—because seniors instead turned to medical pot. There were also hundreds fewer doses prescribed for antidepressants, anti-nausea medications and antianxiety drugs.

The science on the benefits and risks of medical marijuana is far from settled, largely because conclusive research remains so difficult in spite of the drug’s popularity and apparent promise. Sessions’s DoJ oversees the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, which has long kept marijuana listed in the nation’s laws as a Schedule I drug, meaning it is officially declared devoid of any currently accepted medical use and has a high potential for abuse. This federal status hobbles researchers’ abilities to obtain marijuana and conduct comprehensive studies on its potential benefits, even though so many states have defied federal prohibition and the cannabis industry is booming. The DoJ did not respond to a request for comment by the time of publication.

Session’s congressional letter, which was dated May 1, was obtained by Massroots.com and also confirmed and reported by The Washington Post on Tuesday. The letter urges lawmakers to remove the legal impediment that keeps his office from spending cash on interfering with state medical marijuana programs, a safeguard for dispensaries formally called the Rohrabacher–Farr Amendment. That provision expires at the end of September, and would have to be renewed to remain the law of the land—a timeline that guarantees medical marijuana will be discussed in Congress in the coming months.

W. David Bradford, a health policy expert at The University of Georgia who studies medical marijuana policies, says failing to renew the provision “would throw a lot of uncertainty into the [medical cannabis] industry and cause disruption for patients.” Bradford, who was the senior author on the Health Affairs study, also links the amendment’s fate to the opioid crisis: “Anything we can do to divert people away from initial opiate use,” he says, “will divert them away from the potential for misuse and death.”
