Marijuana

[DLucia]

Marijuana is a very controversial topic in our political world today, and I would like to know what our society has to say itabout the way some view it. Some people think it is a Class A drug that is fatal and similar to all the other hard core drugs (i.e. Ecstacy and LSD). But others, like me, know that marijuana is just another plant found in the wilderness that has medical compounds that can help the ill. Yes, marijuana does have psychoactive compounds, but there is no doubt that there are other drugs prescribed by doctors that are more potent. Oxycontin and Morphine are prescribed to patients with chronic pain, but the symptoms are a bit psychoactive. Unlike those drugs, marijuana has a chemical compound called Cannabidiol (CBD) that can be extracted away from the psychoactive compounds in it; such as Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). If there is proof that marijuana has medical purposes then why is it classified as a Class A drug? Yes, it is used as a recreational drug at times, but that does not give an excuse to make it illegal because, unlike alcohol or tobacco, it is not fatal. Marijuana can be harmful in the sense that one can develop lung cancer for smoking it, but there are healthier ways to use marijuana; for instance, cooking it and consuming it. If there are ways to avoid harmful circumstances under marijuana than why shouldn't it be the first drug recommendation to patients? These are things society needs to learn about to fully understand the debate on marijuana. If evidence is not being shown to society then how would any one know what marijuana really is? What are your thoughts and opinions? The link provided is for any one who wants to learn more about marijuana and it's medical purposes by Dr. Sanja Gupta. (copy and paste link)

Criminalizing personal marijuana use is a moronic waste of time, money, and life.

Users should be shot on sight. They are as worthless as any other walking dead.

She's not "evil". She is just extremely ignorant of marijuana.

yea she dont have too many more years to go.....she can fall down break a hip ....after they pump her up with all those nasty pain killers she will be an addict and then its just a matter of time for someone her age....someone at the wake will remark how she should have smoked some pot....would not have gotten addicted.....might still be here.....

They are drug addicts. It's not like they will be missed by relieved family members. So there will be fewer accidents. Those who won't be victims will be thankful.

The police in Colorado are warning people to be on the watch for marijuana poisoned candy. They are expecting crowded emergency rooms.

Katz thinks thats the way it is.....but then, when you have never been around the stuff....people can fill that feeble old head with all kinds of bullshit....

Marijuana is probably the least harmful of all drugs (that alter your state of consciousness). Naturally, personal responsibility should be exercised when using it, just like with alcohol or pain killers.

Keep hearing a bunch of hysterical nonsense like emergency rooms preparing for marijuana overdoses. You can't OD on pot. What are they going to do? Hand the "OD" patient a bag of Doritos? I'm amazed it has taken this long for some sanity to take hold with regards to marijuana use.

 

[Katzndogz]

I've been around pot heads and their devastated families for over 30 years. It's a mercy when they finally stroke out. As long as they haven't taken too many with them when they go. There are two pot shops a block from here. I love it when one of them wanders onto Wilshire and gets creamed. Let someone else call 911.

Ingestion of cannabis a cause of coma ... - PubMed Mobile - NCBI

Will a coma do?

We're waiting for sanity to take hold. But sanity has to get through the pot haze.

Well think about it. . .

That was the propaganda of the MSM back then. Why do folks on this forum think that the MSM is any different today? Remember the "Red Scare?" Was it nearly so black and white as the media told us?

And yet. . . look at how they portray a whole host of issues, anything from terrorism to Ebola. And folks just swallow it up, even though we have the internet and everyone can go to alternative news sources and FIND OUT THE TRUTH, if they so choose.

So really, I don't think anyone has a right to get up all in her shit. Everyone has a right to their opinion, no matter how they came to be informed of it. There is no denying, Marijuana IS an intoxicant, and everyone deals with intoxicants differently. SOME people do indeed have addictive personalities, they can't help but get their lives ruined by it. I'm sure she believes it IS only the marijuana and not a host of other intoxicants as well as alcohol and the situation those folks found themselves in.

As far as other people who indulge in marijuana? Well, informed people know other very notable people in our society have had their genius augmented by it. They have known how to use it and not abuse it, just the same as any other drug, like coffee, tea, or alcohol. We all know famous artists and intellectuals whose work would probably not have been nearly as inspired with out the mighty mighty herb. So, there you have it.

This substance was banned back when there was a competition of who would make plastics. DuPont or Hemp. Sadly, the discussion hasn't evolved since.

DuPont Corporation got a shoe in politics and convinced the easily scared Americans that Hemp is bad. Here is video of the plastic it made;
