Oklahoma voters approve medical marijuana despite opposition

I have found that often times when modern science has some new substantive "finding" related to homosexuality, it is often homosexual researchers pushing it.

Imagine my shock to learn that some beneficial or benign, or "we can't help ourselves" finding is discovered by homosexual researchers? Obviously they are objective. They don't have any hidden agenda behind their findings.

I've also noticed the same thing about Marijuana researchers. They always seem to find things are just "so", and it always justifies the lighting up of a doobie. Funny that.

I have someone whom I consider a friend who has bent my ear for over a decade with all the "latest" research on marijuana and how it cures cancer and saves your soul. I used to look at his medical information, but I started to notice that pattern that I noticed with research on homosexuals.

They slant information. They leave out derogatory information. They skew studies. They cherry pick. They use dishonest statistics. And so forth.

I remember one study on high school usage was based on what Highschoolers told them. I think it purported to show that weed usage went down once weed was legalized in Colorado or something. It was all subjective and non clinical. No blood samples were taken, no actual proof of anything happened.

Same thing with decline in accidents after Colorado legalized weed. They announced that accidents had dramatically lowered, and cited the legalization of marijuana as the proximate cause. Reality was that deeper look at Colorado highway accidents revealed that they were much lower several years prior to the legalization of weed, but they conveniently cut off those earlier years that contradicted their report.

To put it simply, I don't trust people anymore. I've seen too much agenda, and now I don't believe anything told to me by proponents of Homosexuality, Drugs, Abortion, illegal immigration, or Global warming.

Maybe what you say is true, but I find it rather convenient that "smoking" is the only effective way to use the "medicine."

I don't believe anything told to me by proponents

That's fine - I doubt you're the only person reading this thread.

They never said "only" ... and they did say this:

"several researchers and companies are pursuing the development of a smokeless inhaled delivery method for cannabinoid medications. For example, scientists at HortaPharm B.V. — a Dutch company that also grows research-grade marijuana for a variety of applications — are testing a device that gently heats marijuana, releasing a cannabinoid vapor that patients can inhale."
