What are you talking about, this is about cancer/medical issues in regards to marijuana.
For conservatives to not resist the left, is to merely roll over.
Conservatives? The left?
I think it's time to put some flares and cones around your comments.
It numbs the pain sensors in the brain and gives you the munchies. A six pack of beer or two martinis will have the same effect..plus they'll make ugly people look beautiful.......and no, I'm not kidding.
I find it ironic that there is so much support to legalize marijuana while at the same time they are trying to ban cigarettes. It's a given fact that the lungs of a chronic marijuana smoker are damaged much, much more and sooner than one who smokes cigarettes. That's due to the way marijuana is inhaled into the lungs and the fact that the joints are filterless........
Personally, I couldn't care less if pot is legalized or not.
My post 13 was to post 8, it was simple enough, but what happens among druggies when they get scent of a straight, is what happens to lefties about homosexual marriage discussions, they don’t see themselves as facing the uphill climb, instead they freak on the normal view, the existing laws, as though they are radical and impure, not the left wing view that they are espousing.
I’m hoping you just forgot the /sarc tag.

True, its called Arrested Development Syndrome.
They’re forever 13 years old.
And if you can't refute their arguments with logic, you can always throw out an "Oh yeah? Well, you're a JUNKIE!", and then pat yourself on the back.
>> “That’s why they never read fiction.” <<

When I was in grammar school and high school, I used to read two books a day (always had a very high reading speed) but I haven’t read more than two or three fiction books in the last 50 years.
No, it doesn't bother me. I didn't lie. My father (a family doctor) explained his objections to socialized medicine to me about 32 years ago. One of the main ones was destruction of the doctor-patient relationship. I'm pretty sure things like "death panels" is a major sticking point for conservatives today.
Who said I use it to escape anything? That’s your fantasy.
I like my SF, but it's been awhile since I picked one up. Anymore it's mostly technical.
High Gravity Brownies
“Take 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 whole nutmeg, 4 average sticks of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon coriander. These should all be pulverized in a mortar. About a handful each of stone dates, dried figs, shelled almonds and peanuts: chop these and mix them together. One quarter ounce of cannabis sativa can be pulverized. This along with the spices should be dusted over the mixed fruit and nuts, kneaded together. About a cup of sugar dissolved in a big pat of butter. Rolled into a cake and cut into pieces or made into balls about the size of a walnut, it should be eaten with care. Two pieces are quite sufficient. Obtaining the cannabis may present certain difficulties.... It should be picked and dried as soon as it has gone to seed and while the plant is still green.”
- Recipe by Alice B. Toklas
You got it!
It was SF for me too, and now its all technical except for FR.
That isn't why we oppose socialized medicine
Oh, no?
"federal bureaucrats will tighten their belts, and committees and boards like IPAB will restrict services. The problem with this approach is that it not only compromises quality of care, it also hamstrings doctors who believe that medicine is an art, where different treatment choices work for different patients. This is becoming more and more apparent at a time when our most effective and expensive new treatments are targeted therapies that respond to genetic abnormalities. Since everyones genetic signature is different, approaching illness and treatment from this perspective defies the one-size-fits-all insurance model that Obamacare perpetuates.
"Doctors will flee, not only because of shrinking reimbursements amid the ever present worry of frivolous malpractice suits, but because our options for treatment will become so restricted that we will no longer be able to practice effectively."
Such logic is way too sophisticated for the FR squad of boneheaded authoritarian-statist drug warriors.
I don’t think you want to compare yourself to me or anyone else on this forum on the basis of maturity.

I knew that well - but I wouldn't have been surprised to see ansel12 claim it.

Before it was banned, it was prepared as a tincture and prescribed by doctors. Cannabis tincture was still included in the British pharmacopia I believe up until some time in the 1960’s.
Well ... there might be lurkers! ;^)

They've proved they'll swallow just about anything.
