Hedonistic gossip rises to the level of consensus in the world of neo pagan Americans. Sadly the neo pagans control the media, most of Academia and the Democratic Party.

I’ve never seen it claimed that MJ cures cancer. I’ve read many times that it helps with the nausea from chemotherapy and helps to stimulate the appetite in people who otherwise couldn’t eat. Where did you read this claim?

As a father of an eight year old I do not like pot or vaping legalised anywhere. It gives the young the sense that pot is safe when people should stay clear of it unless they are already dying of a cancer.

I have two relatives who post every “Marijuana cures cancer” post on Facebook. “This little girl has cancer and she can’t get the life-bringing marijuana that she needs”

Marijuana causes cancer. It has more carcinogens than tobacco.

HEMP IS THE NUMBER ONE biomass producer on planet earth: 10 tons per acre in approximately four months. It is a woody plant containing 77% cellulose. Wood produces 60% cellulose. This energy crop can be harvested with equipment readily available. It can be “cubed” by modifying hay cubing equipment. This method condenses the bulk, reducing trucking costs from the field to the pyrolysis reactor. And the biomass cubes are ready for conversion with no further treatment.

I fail to see why this argument isn’t at the forefront of the conversation:

“I want marijuana to be legal. Why ? Because I really like it.”

Lets start from there.

I know pot can help with certain kinds of pain, but I doubt all this other stuff....mostly pot just makes you dumb and happy.

Marijuana doesn’t cure anything but inititave, ambition, and lack of appetite.

Pretty much nothing should be smoked. Smoking is not healthy. Marijuana is an herb and many herbs have “medicinal properties.” Some herbs can help in the prevention of cancer. Purslane, for example. If you smoke or enjoy giving oral sex (risks for oral cancer) you should chew purslane or throw it in your salads. CBD oil doesn’t get you high but does have some medicinal properties as well as satisfying the cannabinoid receptors. This can help against chronic pain.

I agree that most people like weed to get high, to sleep better, to relax. And I really don’t care. I don’t see why, because some find it fun, it should be banned. I use cbd as medicine and I don’t get high at all. I don’t want to get high; I have too much to do. And I would test positive and not be able to get jobs because of it, while I never smoke or drink. A guy who is drunk all weekend would pass the test but not me.

I apologize to anyone out there who thinks this is a stupid question, but I really only have one question where it pertains to marijuana ...

It seems that the majority of the people who are advocating marijuana use and/or legalization are the same ones who raised holy h3ll with smoking cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. The left and some libertarians declared smoking tobacco an anathema in all situations: in private, in public, inside, outside .. everywhere. The smell, the second-hand smoke, the "cancer-causing" aspect of tobacco ... all of that and more.

And yet it would seem to me .. as someone who has never smoked anything at any time .. that there's basically no difference between smoking/burning one plant (marijuana) from another (tobacco). Nothing is different, except maybe the different types of "high" between nicotine and THC. Can someone explain to me why smoking marijuana is becoming a "right" and smoking tobacco is still akin to admitting to pedophilia?

Marijuana gives something for something. How much is given/taken varies with each user. I’d say the main thing it takes is TIME.

It’s sorta like me with my gin and tonic. Ever since I started drinking them, I’ve not had malaria once!

No, it does not cure cancer. If you are having chemo it may help with nausea.

It will not cure the common cold, it will just make you not care you are sneezing on people and your nose is running like a faucet.

My mom survived breast cancer and cannot take any estrogen as it feeds the cancer. Because my mom has to take estrogen inhibitors, she is looking much older much too soon and it's difficult to watch.

I just found this as well:

Cannabidiol as a novel inhibitor of Id-1 gene expression in aggressive breast cancer cells.

From the article:

In conclusion, CBD represents the first nontoxic exogenous agent that can significantly decrease Id-1 expression in metastatic breast cancer cells leading to the down-regulation of tumor aggressiveness.
If the CBD in marijuana helps my mom, I'm going to do whatever I can to help my mom get what she needs. If anybody tries to stop me they'll see the wrath of a ticked off dude who's already lost two family members.
