Medicinal Marijuana - Your Opinions?

[QUOTE="Donkey_Puncher"][QUOTE="Dracargen"][QUOTE="Donkey_Puncher"][QUOTE="Dracargen"]

That was my first post here: I have absolutely no problem with marijuana being used for medical purposes, by people who actually NEED it and use it responsibly.

Dracargen

Are you for the illegalization of social drinking and smoking as well then?

Drinking: Alcohol can help the heart with one glass of wine a day, but more than that I oppose.

Smoking: Absolutely yes.

Oh, so you're a fascist then?

Typical pot user tactic: label anyone who disagrees a fascist.:roll:

"A form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion." [Robert O. Paxton, "The Anatomy of Fascism," 2004]

Anyways, I believe that it is none of the government's buisness what I put in my body. Medical cannabis has helped a great deal of people, the theraputic uses of the plant have been known for thousands of years, not to mention the incredible usefulness of hemp. There is no reason for cannabis not to be legal.

I don't smoke pot, but thanks for generalizing. My problem is with people like you, which find it convenient to tell other people how to live their lives when they aren't hurting anyone in the process.

Would you like to outlaw Coffee because of Caffiene? Alcohol? Tobacco? If people want to consume these things responsibly they should be able too, and guess what they have the right to.

Yeah, never mind how the economy will be effected or anything, let's just let people do what they want. They want to make themselves too stupid to work? Let 'em. That'll help all of America's problems.

I never said anything about caffeine. . .I don't know enough about the drug to make an informed judgement.;)

You're generalizing just as much as he is.

[QUOTE="killtactics"]A lot of people who use drugs use it for medical reasons (depression, anxiety)..... kinda like ..... you

the difference is some people can't afford to go to a doctor and pay for the expensive medication....

So. . .the obvious solution is to do it via drug dealers, who would know nothing about how much the person can take, whether or not the person actually needs it, and sells it for a cheaper-but-still-high price? Makes perfect sense, chap.

maybe you would understand better if your mommy wasn't buying your drugs for you....

Do you think the government is too stupid to figure out what you have?

Do you think the government won't do it because any official who supports drug usage will commit political suicide? There are far worse topics that are supported by more politicians. . .

"The right to swing your fist ends where my face begins." This quotes sums up. A person can ingest or indulge in any activity they so wish, just as long as doing it doesn't interfere with the rights of others.

This is why drinking is legal, but drinking and driving is not. A lazy stoner or alcoholic sitting at home isn't hurting anyone but himself.

The same could applied to gamblers, or any other type of neglective attitude parents take.

Just because SOME people can't handle booze or pot doesn't mean everyone should have to suffer the consequences for their actions. That's not a result of drugs, it's a result of BAD PARENTING or BAD SPOUSAL reltations.

Dracargen

You need to start looking at the real facts, not what the FDA puts out. Its been known for decades that their "studies" were basically BS. Nobody has ever died from smoking a marajuana joint, every year dozens of people die from aspirin overdoses, this literally can not happen with marajuana as the quantities necessary would be nearly impossible.

Would love to see a source for the short-term memory jab and as far as balance and coordination and reaction time? Far more negatively impacted by alcohol than marajuana.

My father is a deadhead. He has been to over 30 Grateful Dead concerts. He loves Jerry Garcia. While he does not admit to doing any drugs way back in the 70's, I speculate that he could have smoked pot a couple of times. Now, is he a piss-poor loser? A trashy individual? I burden to society? No. It may surprise you to know, Silver Dragon, that my father is the best spine doctor in the entire US of A. Your view on this subject is extremely skewed, and I certaintly hope that you knock off this condescending attitude that drug users are less than dirt.
