Medicinal Marijuana - Your Opinions?

[QUOTE="D9-THC"]

[QUOTE="swizz-the-gamer"] Mate, Cannabis is bad for you. I'm not saying this as some nazi. I'm saying from experience that it has very detrimental effects on you. Stop kidding yourself into believing it's fine.

How can you know what effects it has on me? Stop kidding yourself into believing your experiences are universal. (Gears of War felched a dog)

It has varying effects on people. For instance I have a friend who used it help with depression. If he says it worked, I wouldn't doubt it. There are numerous first-hand accounts of patients finding relief in marijuana with no side-effects.

I'm for legalization of weed, and I don't even smoke anymore. I will say this though...my lungs couldn't handle cigarettes nearly as well as a joint. I think marijuana is far safer than most people think. However, street marijuana can be dangerous. My friend's brother attempted suicide after smoking marijuana. Turns out that it was heavily mixed with embalming fluid, which can make people psychotic. I'm sure this is rare exception, but it was a scary situation and it can happen.

Now, if marijuana was legal, it could be taxed and regulated and made as safe as possible. Marijuana alone is pretty harmless, but on the streets, you never know exactly what weird chemicals a drug dealer might put on it.

Why is Salvia legal? Is it becuase it was discovered not too long ago?

i think marijuana should just be legal for any one over 21. granted i will get it underage legal or illegally. but just go agead and legalize ithustler_151

Legalization will never happen in our lifetimes. The government will never ever admit they were wrong about all the incorrect propaganda about marijuana. Just like they won't ever admit that the war on drugs is an ineffective approach that hasn't worked at all really.

It's ridiculous that medical marijuana is illegal. It helps with so many ailments, there is no reason to have it illegal.GettingTired

Its not illegal everywhere. California has marijunana vending machines (no joke).

Good question. Salvia is the most terrifying drug I've ever tried. I felt like a puppet on strings and not in control of any of my emotions or actions. I was completely out of my mind and body. LSD has nothing on Salvia. Salvia is the real deal. I thought I was gonna have a freaking heart attack on that stuff. I did the 10x extract.

I did 10x as well and I slid off my bed and kept sliding on the ground and not able to control myself it was as if a force was pulling me. I can't imagine how strong the 40x has to be.

I guess for medical uses marijuana has its uses. However, I am totally against full scale legalization.Cube_of_MooN

I will still do it legal or not doesn't effect me in any way.

The drug in marijuana that causes the high stays in your system for up to 2 weeks maximum before it is flushed out. If you smoke a joint every 2 weeks, life is good every second friday.

For medicinal purposes, I think it should be legalized but strictly controlled. There are too many weaklings who can't handle a little bit of pain and go running for the panadol. People need to harden up and eat some concrete, grow a pair. But I can understand the man who has suffered a massive tendon tear and is kept awake for weeks by the agony. That man needs a joint.

That's your choice...

marijuana is classified as a weed. what are weeds known for doing? growing in practically any condition. throw some seeds in your yard and eventually you'll have some pot growing. i've thrown seeds out my window and had them starting to sprout. it takes almost no effort to grow pot. dooly420

I could never use marijuana for medical purposes simply because instead of easing the pain, I would just trip out and think it's worse than it actually is. Like this one time I was really high and I could smell something. My friend ask "does it smell like burnt hair?" and I was like "yeah, kinda" so he's like on"oh, that's bad. If you can smell burnt hair you could be having a stroke" and from that point on I was convinced I was going to have a stroke.

Turns out it was just a booger.

I don't think medical marijuana actually gets you high if taken normally, though I don't know for certain.

I'm all for total legalization. I'm a senior in high school, and work 8 hour days 5-6 days a week... sometimes more hours than that. I regularly smoke cannabis throughout the day... that means before school, and all during work. I have straight a's, and just received a raise at work today. My family has a history of anxiety problems... my sis took pills, and was hooked. I find marijuana to be a much safer, and effective medicine than any pharmaceutical drug. I experience no negative effects from my habit. Unlike cigarettes, I never HAVE to smoke cannabis... sure I like it... a lot... but I can go without it just as easily.

It can get you high if you smoke enough of course it has THC in it so you can get high. There is a set limit of a 10g maximum a month in most medical marijuana legal states.

Definitely. Some pills have secondary effects far worse than weed. The morphine they give at the hospital is terrible.

I am for the de-criminalization of marijuana. Legalization would be awesome.

well, if pot was mass produced like tobacco is, what's to stop companies from dumping all kinds of chemicals into it like they do with tobacco? i wouldn't want to buy it. and like i said, it's no trouble at all to grow pot.dooly420

Well took too much then naturally you could get high, I mean within the limits.

Medicinal only Marijuana.

Cannabis never.

Yes. Because I'm going to be really old one day, and Cannabis helps the Elderly.

People who vote no have no argument. Cannabis isn't even as dangerous as Alcohol.

well, if they buy it off someone who grows it themselves, then it's still not being taxed by the government. isn't that what this conversation is originally about?dooly420

if it ever does get legalized, i'm pretty sure most potheads would grow it themselves or buy it from friends rather then buy it from a government who was essentially calling them worthless pieces of s--- because they were using it before it became legal.dooly420

Surely something so common can't be sold! Who would by such a thing when it's readily available! :roll:

Also, legalization would promote the full use of the cultivated crops. Sell the flowers to consumers and take the rest of the plant and use it in other industries (paper products and clothing for starters). These uses in other industries make the product even more profitable and more easily renewed than today's wood pulp paper. We'd actually be helping the environment, the government, the people. The only people who will be hurt by legalizing marijuana are dealers.

I have absolutely no problem with somebody who actually needs it taking it when it is prescribed by a doctor.

If, however, he pretends to have a disease he doesn't have in order to get a prescription, intentionally uses it more than he is supposed to, or uses it without a prescription, he is less than dirt as far as I'm concerned.

Hmm, it seems that the government stands only to gain from legalizing the stuff. Why, there seems to be no valid negatives to it whatsoever. I suppose that leaves one question:

Why is the government not making it legal?

It should be legal and taxed. Alcohol and Tobacco are, I see no problem why we can't.

There is no scientific or legal basis for it to be illegal.

the whole idea that it is illegal doesn't really make sense in the first place. was the tobacco lobby involved in the outloawing of it in the first place? comp_atkins

Tobacco and Pot are too very different drugs. Tobacco has nothing to lose from Pot being lega. In fact the brochial issues of prolonged heavy usage of pot would make someone less adverse to the much harsher smoke of cigarettes.

Pot is illegal because the lumber barons knew it would put them out of business and lobbied against it. The grounds is that it is a "gateway drug" but the studies done to prove or disprove this were done after it was made illegal which invalidates the results because the legality plays a large part in it's usage. After being outlawed, usage increased. Dealers who sell pot are likely to sell other drugs. People who smoke pot have a dealer in their social circles. People who try pot and see that it isn't bad leads them to questioning why these other drugs are illegal.

The whole thing is bogus.
