As with prohibitionists, you people need to die off. So rationality can take back over.

Leave it to a hack like you to bring a potentially constructive discussion down into the mud.

The only problem I have with the medical use is that for one, the number of things it treats is going to keep getting bigger. Like the poster above, insomnia.. LOL, how long did you have to search for that Doctor?
and, the biggest issue is that once it is legal for medical use, then the users start fighting to get it paid for like a prescription, and its going to cost us all.
now as far as it being addictive and causing schizophrenia??? Dont think so.
Somebody watched Reefer Madness.

What do you think about medical marijuana? Don't you think it's strange that it's getting legalized everywhere since recently? Some years ago potheads were laughing at and now it is completely okay to smoke weed almost everywhere. Sure thing it can be used for medical purposes but it seems like things are going way too fast. It can cause schizophrenia and make people addicted in no time.
Maybe it's too early to legalize it? A question to pot smokers: how has marijuana improved your life?

You really don't know shit about MJ and how it is used to help people with ailments..you ignorant fucks always delude yourself with quack medicine from conservative trollops that sell you a line of lies about MJ and how it causes schizophrenia....

 

[Moonglow]

and no welfare for you

Since many smokers and tokers work for a living too bad your slight does not include the majority, Colorado has a 4.2 unemployment rate, one of the better states for pot heads that work..

Good argument for the use of medical marijuana...

Epileptic girl overcomes Mexico cannabis ban
9 Sept.`15 - An eight-year-old girl who endures 400 daily epileptic seizures will become Mexico's first authorized consumer of medical cannabis after the government granted her Tuesday an exemption to its marijuana ban.

The health ministry announced in a statement that it would facilitate the paperwork needed to import a cannabis oil that is believed to alleviate epileptic fits. "We are happy," Raul Elizalde, the girl's father, told AFP by telephone after he met with the head of Cofepris, the health agency that oversees medicine imports. "It's our last hope." "We want to reduce the number of convulsions from 400 per day to none. We hope that she could become more independent, that she could walk and speak and eat on her own," he said. Graciela, who lives in the northern industrial hub of Monterrey, has a severe form of epilepsy known as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

The girl, whose parents call her Grace, has not spoken a word since saying "mommy" when she was under two years old. She wears diapers, crawls and moves in a pink wheelchair. Her parents have tried a slew of treatments, including brain surgery, to ease their daughter's pain, but nothing has worked and her condition has worsened. Out of other options, they asked the government's General Health Council for a special permit to import cannabidiol (CBD), but it was denied. Last month, a judge gave her desperate parents permission to get the medicine even though Mexico, which is engulfed in a bloody drug war, opposes any legalization of narcotics. Elizalde said the doctor must now write a prescription and they would then seek to import the drug from the United States or Norway.

- Mexico resists legalization trend -

The health ministry said it would allow Epidiolex, a drug produced by Britain's GW Pharmaceuticals, to be imported for Grace. The substance is still in the investigative phase of development. "It must be clarified that this health authorization does not give the green light to import marijuana in any of its forms," the health ministry said. The statement said Cofepris "took into consideration that this is a particular case because it has been resistant to all available treatments in Mexico, including surgery." In April, GW Pharmaceuticals said physician reports found that the drug led to a 54 percent median reduction of seizures among 137 children and young adults who took it for 12 weeks at 11 US hospitals.

Elizalde said that while the ministry gave them an exemption, the court battle continues as the government has filed a petition to overturn the judge's decision. President Enrique Pena Nieto, whose government is fighting drug cartels in a conflict that has left tens of thousands dead in less than a decade, opposes any legalization. Yet, legalization is making some headway elsewhere in Latin America. Uruguay has created a regulated market for pot while Chile's lower-chamber of congress backed legislation in July to legalize the cultivation of marijuana for recreational and medical use. More than 20 US states have legalized medical marijuana.

And medicinally, yes. All here understand this. But what's going on in some states under the guise of medical use...

Btw thanks for the article. Mexico is on the way to pot legalization.

If you look at Colorado, it's pretty clear the downside of full legalization is minimal, and the upside is a boost in the economy and tax revenues, not to mention cost savings on the justice system. And this all comes with marginally more freedom for citizens.

The CO experiment has been pretty successful, and I think it's obvious that legalization will eventually be picked up nationwide.

What do you think about medical marijuana?

I don't believe there is any medical need for marijuana that cannot be covered by other medications. Therefore no need exists for medical marijuana.

Other medications that are far more harmful.

Tell me how harmful Timolol, Latanaprost, and Xalatan are for Glaucoma users. Make sure you're certain because I use or have used all three.

As for pain/cancer issues... paun is a part of life and my plan for dealing with cancer involves a bullet to the head.

I don't have cancer. My father did for three years abd there's no chance thst I will put myself through what he went through. He didn't take ANY pain meds until he was within 72 hours of his death and even then he only took non-prescription stuff. Advil I believe.
