Pelosi: Cannabis Is Related to COVID – It ‘Is a Therapy That Has Proven Successful’

[White 6]

Marijuana is a useful therapy for a lot of things, but had not heard it useful as a therapy for Covid, not sure she meant it that way, but what ever.
Another thing is the wording of "money for defense to replenish the wall.". Does that mean there is money to repair or replace sections of the wall or did they put back the money trump stole from the military to build the wall? I am all for replacing the stolen funds, but not if trump is just going to sign the legislation with the money for the military and pillage it again before the election or between election and leaving office in January for that matter. It was better in the old days when the constitution said congress had the per strings and we jailed people who misdirected funds. I am not up for a revolving slush fund to be restocked, but reassigned at whim, without congressional approval.

And what do you do when Congress refuses to supply funds to enhance national security, purely as a partisan finger in the eye?
As president Trump is well within his authority to use excess military funds when partisan jackasses like Charles Schumer block emergency funding. Or do you think the poor Pentagon will be out on street corners with a five star hat begging for money to get by?

Or perhaps you are an open borders advocate? In any event Trump was legally entitled to put excess funds already allotted to good use. Sorry if that chafes your ass.

Or do you not follow the news? Supreme Court sides with Trump on building border wall with diverted military funds

They have been begging for money ever since I can remember and most of it I probably have approved. So I support the military. Big deal.
I don't really care about the wall. Never saw one I wasn't trained to breach (your tax dollars at work). If they want to appropriate for it fine. If the do not want to appropriate for it, that's fine too with me. I agree with the original judge that pronounced it illegal and with the court of appeals that said, yep, no doubt about it, illegal and with the constitution that says how money is to be appropriated. I don't agree that the chief executive should sign off on the appropriations budget bill with fanfare and backslapping, taking credit for the bill and then turn around a few months later and steal the money and spend it before it could be stopped. If he doesn't approve of a bill he is supposed to veto it or at best let it go into effect without signature, not redirect the funds as if he had line item veto after the fact or appropriation powers clearly relegated to congress by the constitution and the founding fathers. It is not how we do business.

 

[Crixus]

If something is a natural disinfectant, an anti-inflammitory, and a bronchodialator, it's safe to say that is an effective treatment against respiratory disease

as it has been used for thousands of years

duh

smoking it? Do t think so. Smoken s bad for lungs. the edibles work good though. I got the COPD. when icget sick i get antibiotics and a bottle of codine. i notice that the codine seems to open things up allot. same thing happens if i eat three pot cookies to. I think the govrenment should just go head and make it legal and be done with it. In the bigger picture its really a non issue. Im thinking the DOJ has bigger fish to fry then potheads.

 

[Crixus]

i do like her comment "a proven therapy" but doesnt come out and say "a proven therapy for covid-19". its almost like she diddnt even know it was in the bill. Probubly had to pass it first so she can read it.

Agreed.

She's too busy doing corrupt party business to be bothered reading shit that isn't going to become law. Wheeling and dealing with potential stake holders and members probably takes up the majority of her time.

Your comment is naive. Or disingenuous. Events take place in the real world that upset and
demand we rearrange our budgetary priorities sometimes in an ad hoc fashion.
You can complain about that in order to "hurt" Donald Trump but the facts remain.

The clamor to secure our borders has been a concern for some time. When thousands of people formed
into groups in Central America and began to descend on the border the call to strengthen the border became louder and more strident.
You can claim that Trump was cynically riding that issue, if you want, but the fact remains he reacted to the
threat on our southern border. If you want to attack him for not having a crystal ball go ahead.

 

[conserveguy877]

Now the pill popping hag is making cannabis look bad. When clearly that hydroxychloroquine has been effective to a number of people who got infected.

 

[bendog]

It is more related to health and econ activity than Trump's FBI building. I understand taht as a Trumpanzeee your abilty to grasp sarcasm and irony is .... nill. But I thought explaining it to you would be polite

Trump's FBI building? You mean the courthouse in Portland?

Now Eric. Trump loaded 1.5bil into his version of a bill to tear down the old fbi building that was going to be demolished and sold. It could have been a hotel competeing with Trumps.

But medical dispensaries provide real theraputic meds, and "reg" dispencaries were declared essential businesses so they didn't close, but they are prevented for gettign the small biz loans .... which this is about. But it's always nice to hear you unformed opinions.

Not claiming he was cynically riding the issue. It is fact. trump and GOP raised many millions of dollars as he demagogue d the issue. Just some more of his populous scare BS. I am not in favor of illegal immigration, but most illegal landed on a plane, came of work permit, school permit and overstayed on purpose. It is a poor use of the money with limited benefit and it wasn't his money to steal. unless you do not believe in the constitution because it doesn't float like a butterfly and sting like a bee as fast as you like. I support the standard budget process, without line item veto or sign-off and steal what you didn't get. Nice try Vladmir.

Most did? You should really document that.

Actually it's a GREAT use of our money
when you consider the long term expense of millions of illegals living here permanently and sucking our safety nets dry. The schools, hospitals, the legal and prison system, the welfare system, the theft, fraud and other assorted costs
I left one of California's most famous and popular counties and saw it all right before my eyes in
slow motion my last two decades there. What about you?
A relatively small investment in border security will save hundreds of millions of dollars over time.

and it wasn't his money to steal. unless you do not believe in the constitution because it doesn't float like a butterfly and sting like a bee as fast as you like. I support the standard budget process, without line item veto or sign-off and steal what you didn't get. Nice try Vladmir.

Okay. You have your little lies you will tell over and over again no matter what the facts say.
Take it up with the Supreme Court. Trump as president has every right to take unused funds and repurpose
them in the national interests. Put some bagbalm on your chaffed ass.

It is a matter of perspective. I am in Tennessee. It is not nearly as dire appearing as the hair-on-fire issue demagogues purport it to be, at least not in west tennessee. Of course we are not governed by Democrat governor and legislative body, possibly giving the illegal too much latitude, along with the employers that pay them to generate their profits. Neither side wants illegal immigration fixed. It is too big a money maker economically and politically. The wall certainly will not fix it.

Pelosi: Cannabis Is Related to COVID - It 'Is a Therapy That Has Proven Successful'

During a press conference on Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) defended including cannabis in the House's coronavirus legislation and argued | Clips

www.breitbart.com

31 Jul 2020 ~~ By Ian Hanchett
During a press conference on Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) defended including cannabis in the House’s coronavirus legislation and argued cannabis “is a therapy that has proven successful” and is related to coronavirus.
Pelosi was asked, “Republicans and the administration got a lot of heat when they released their bill. Because there was a lot of unrelated things in there, including money for the FBI building, money for defense to replenish the wall. There’s some things in your bill that’s not directly related to COVID, like they’re talking about cannabis or the SALT reduction. Are those things that you’re willing to also strip out of the bill?”
Pelosi responded, “Well, I don’t agree with you that cannabis is not related to this. This is a therapy that has proven successful, and it is by no means of the caliber of money or misrepresentation that remodeling the federal building is for over a billion dollars so that another hotel doesn’t come in there and compete with the president’s hotel. That’s what that’s all about. That has nothing to do with the coronavirus. So, we’re going to have to come to some compromise on the legislation. I just don’t accept that there’s any equivalence in what you put forth there.”

Comment:
Hmmm...., Dr. Pelosi? Prescribes marijuana for covid patients as therapy? When did she become a medical doctor?
Many of of usknow she's an airhead, but now she reveals she's also a pothead....
You have to admit she's one crazy old lady. Trump talks about medicine that works and the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat Leftists go nuts, then Nancy comes along claiming that getting stoned is the therapy we need to fight the Chinese Wuhan Virus.
Indeed, the Congressional leader of the Democratic Party now recommends people suffering from a respiratory disease, inhale unfiltered, and carcinogenic smoke of Cannabis into the lungs as a remedy!!! And Trump is the dangerous one?

Marijuana is a useful therapy for a lot of things, but had not heard it useful as a therapy for Covid, not sure she meant it that way, but what ever.

Does that mean there is money to repair or replace sections of the wall or did they put back the money trump stole from the military to build the wall?

Border Security is part of defense.
All countries control their border crossings and immigration.
Why can't we?

A wall has greatly reduced unwanted entries into every single country that's built one in the world.
Why do you think suicide bombings in Israel are virtually unknown now that their wall is up?
No one single thing will end illegal immigration but a wall will greatly reduce illegal entry into the US.

What are marijuana's effects on lung health? | National Institute on Drug Abuse

Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke is an irritant to the throat and lungs and can cause a heavy cough during use. It also contains levels of volatile chemicals and tar that are similar to tobacco smoke, raising concerns about risk for cancer and lung disease.

Border Security is part of defense.
All countries control their border crossings and immigration.
Why can't we?

We can. Just not efficiently or cost effectively. Most places in the world I have been to, you usually do not even realize exactly when crossed a border, even on ground transportation and certainly not by air. The vast majority of foreigners coming into this country come by air. The majority of illegal aliens have simple/purposefully overstayed their visa, not sneaked across the southern border. I am no politician. Congress can spend my tax dollars any way they choose, and you probably will not see me out protesting, (as I like where and how I live), but it does not mean I do not know gross inefficiency and political rabble rousing for issue politics sake when I see it from either side. Illegal immigration as an issue is a real money maker, both to the economy and to both political parties. They are not going to solve it and kill the golden goose.

 

[debbiedowner]

Doc, not sure that made you unhappy. Was it the questioning whether she was was actually saying marijuana was a covid therapy or the fact that, while knowing the money taken by trump for the wall absolutely without a doubt had to be replaced, but I was not in favor it it went back in, only to be plundered again before he leave office. The constitution is pretty clear on how money is to be appropriated. I haven't heard a push for a constitutional convention to change that, so apparently political leaders on both sides are not wanting to go there.

The majority of articles I read say she wants to include legislation for Banking.

I have also read many research articles that there may be some benefit of cannabis in relation to Covid.

Does that mean there is money to repair or replace sections of the wall or did they put back the money trump stole from the military to build the wall? I am all for replacing the stolen funds, but not if trump is just going to sign the legislation with the money for the military and pillage it again before the election or between election and leaving office in January for that matter. It was better in the old days when the constitution said congress had the per strings and we jailed people who misdirected funds. I am not up for a revolving slush fund to be restocked, but reassigned at whim, without congressional approval.

Border Security is part of defense.
All countries control their border crossings and immigration.
Why can't we?

You'll have to ask the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat Leftists in Congrss for that answer... President Trump has been pleading with Congress to give him the funds to complete our border wall and enforce the E-Verify program...

nice seeing a fellow AF guy

Yeah, was in SAC stationed with the Eighth Air Force...

Pelosi does not have the virus, thus proving that the steady intake of gin acts as an excellent preventative.
