Medical marijuana

[Spinster]

I've know more stoners in my life, and I never care to even associate with any of them again, ever. What a complete bunch of losers. They are untrustworthy, uninitiated, unloyal, and unethical. They only care about themselves and their next high. I don't care what anyone says, smoking dope does lead to harder drugs. It offers no real medicinal value whatsoever, and those who say it does are just deceiving themselves into believing "it" helps. It does NOT.

If you're against it, don't use it. Your problem is that you want to force your values onto everyone else.

[chikenwing]

You seem to be obsessed with suicide. Is that your recommendation to everyone who experiences pain?

Its my recommendation to anyone who can't deal with the pain in their life.

Wow crawl back into your cage. Adults are talking

Sounds like you are talking about crackheads. Gateway drugs. Psh. Alcohol and tobacco are gateway drugs. I don't see complaining about those leading to "hard core" drug use.

Don't even go there! You haven't a clue what I've been through, so don't speculate on what I've dealt with medically. Tried it as I was desperate for relief, so I DO know first hand. Claiming it helps is just an excuse, and if there were evidence it did, the medical community would embrace it, which they do not.

Okay, ah huh! Why do you think that even on Native American reservations where they legally sell alcohol and cigarettes, they frown so much on weed, that if someone living on tribal land is caught, they get kicked off. Their reasoning, not my own, is that smoking dope DOES lead to harder drug use. You are the one who doesn't know what you are talking about. Just trying to excuse whatever you happen to be into doesn't justify anything and certainly isn't factual.

They use peyote on Indian reservations. Do you consider that a hard drug?

 

[danielpalos]

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?

It is great. I am euphoric when about my chores, now.

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.

As long as it is illegal on the Federal list, insurance cos won't cover it. And Big Pharma will always lobby against it, because the profit factor is minimal compared to the artificial chemical compounds they like to peddle. Ever watch the evening news & count how many drug ads there are telling YOU to talk to your doctor & ask for more drugs? I watch NBC, & there's no less than 6-7 ads on within a 30 min span. That avgs out to 1 ad every 5 minutes. SOMEBODY has to pay for their peddling. But, I guess it's much better to have a script for Ambien or Lunesta... which ARE addictive & the side effects are truly scary.

Ambien (zolpidem) is a sedative/hypnotic used for treating insomnia. A generic formulation is available. The most common side effects of Ambien (zolpidem) are drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, lightheadedness, "drugged" feeling, tiredness, loss of coordination, stuffy nose, dry mouth, sore throat, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, stomach upset, headache, or muscle pain. Other side effects of Ambien include confusion, insomnia, euphoria, ataxia (balance problems), and visual changes. Ambien can cause withdrawal symptoms (muscle cramps, sweats, shaking, and seizures)....


...Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: memory loss, mental/mood/behavior changes (such as new/worsening depression, abnormal thoughts, thoughts of suicide, hallucinations, confusion, agitation, aggressive behavior, anxiety).
Rarely, after taking this drug, people have gotten out of bed and driven vehicles while not fully awake ("sleep-driving"). People have also sleepwalked, prepared/eaten food, made phone calls, or had sex while not fully awake. Often, these people do not remember these events. This problem can be dangerous to you or to others. If you find out that you have done any of these activities after taking this medication, tell your doctor right away. Your risk is increased if you use alcohol or other medications that can make you drowsy while taking zolpidem.

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.

Yes, man made chemicals are always better than what occurs naturally in nature for the same ailments.

 

[playtime]

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.

That's nice. You do that. But others may have a need & want to live. Without pain. Without even more chemicals ravaging their already fragile bodies, to counteract the effects of chemotherapy.

Nicotine & alcohol are the true gateway drugs.

Legalize Medical Marijuana, Doctors Say in Survey
By R. Scott Rappold

Reviewed by Michael W. Smith, MD


April 2, 2014 -- A majority of doctors say that medical marijuana should be legalized nationally and that it can deliver real benefits to patients, a new survey by WebMD/Medscape finds.

WebMD’s web site for health professionals surveyed 1,544 doctors as more than 10 states consider bills to legalize medical marijuana. It is already legal in 21 states and Washington, DC.

The survey found solid support for those legalization efforts, with most doctors saying medical marijuana should be legal in their states. They agreed that medical marijuana should be an option for patients. The survey included doctors from more than 12 specialties and 48 states..."

AND, many people may not know this... but the active compounds in cannabis has a US patent, meaning that the science is there to prove its medicinal properties.

Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants
US 6630507 B1
Abstract
Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. A particular disclosed class of cannabinoids useful as neuroprotective antioxidants is formula (I) wherein the R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, CH3, and COCH3.

Yes, man made chemicals are always better than what occurs naturally in nature for the same ailments.

When that natural source creates the altered mental state that marijuana does, definitely.
