I notice the same anti-smoking zealots who went crazy on all things related to cigs are silent on mj.
Maybe it’s the same reason libertarians who told me for years that they “might not agree with what I say, but they will defend to the death my right to say it!”, but when the rubber met the road, they were no where to be found.
Interesting, thank you FRiend :)
There is substantial evidence of medically beneficial effects. Serfs and sheep may choose to avoid that which is not "Approved".
Are those conservative policies?
but welcome marijuana into the public square
I'm OK with requiring that it be done only on the private property of consenting owners.
Sorry, I didn't save the link. From what I remember, yes, the data was presented by an advocacy group, but the study they cited was authentic.
I read up on this subject fairly regularly, and will likely run across this study again. I'll make a note to send you the link when I do.
I love a governor who does what he says he is going to do!
Happy for the freedom we should have always had.
Not paying the prices they are charging however: $450 an ounce is just not doable for any reason.
That's a stoner for you. Not only wants his "freedom" but wants someone else to pay for it.
Maybe in the next welfare bill, right?
Two years is a big deal. Good for you. Hang in there. You know it just keeps getting better.
You don’t smoke, do you Windflier?
Are you around people who do?
I haven’t done any studies about cancer, but the daily users I know sound like they are mining coal first thing every morning.
Yeah, I do, but I've never had a smoker's hack.
Long story short, I'm a medical anomaly. My body expels nearly all of the tar and nicotine I consume.
My comments come from professional career including clinical forensic pharmacology, and clinical trial management in Phase I, II and III approval trials. Not casual observation- so will take the time to clear up any misunderstanding.
Q: what does “substantial evidence of medically beneficial effects” mean? Peer reviewed major clinical trials proving efficacy of smoked marijuana in defined studied diseases? Because that is simply false.
There are ZERO clinically peer reviewed placebo controlled blinded trials that smoked pot (that is smoked marijuana/ THC) has clinically significant efficacy in treatment of disease. There are however extensive investigations into the chemical Dronabinol, synthetic THC, which now is sold as trade names Marinol and Syndros, clinically indicated as an Appetite Stimulant, antiemetic, and sleep apnea reliever. It has been investigated in large clinical trials (oral administration, again, not smoked marijuana cigarettes) and is also approved by the FDA, as safe and effective, for HIV/AIDS induced anorexia and chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting only.
There is, therefore, no such thing as “Medical” marijuana, except as marketing term created for those who are pushing the cultivation of marijuana-a falsely represented political movement being driven by potential tax dollars (for more big government). Backers? That would be— Phillip Morris, RJ Reynolds, Lorillard, British-American Tobacco(BAT) and European consortium- this too, is no longer in doubt- proof is everywhere they are behind this (to make up lost tobacco revenue, for one thing).
Cannabidiol (CBD), on the other hand, does have recent clinical trials which are proving clinical use as non-narcotic pain reliever, receptor mediated, and the production of high purity CBD oil is making its way through approval process for specific indications in that regard for prescription use, and also approved for anti-seizure adjunct therapy in childhood epileptic tumors. CBD currently approved as an over the counter, with no prescriptive indication in that usage.
Production of CBD from non-psychoactive non-THC content cannabis HEMP varietals (and the exciting patented genetic strains developed by Israeli investigators which produce ONLY CBD— zero THC) For oral administration- gel caps and also as aqueous vaping solutions. Not smoked.
So it is true: smoked marijuana has no medical indication in US Pharmacopaeia for either over the counter/casual use or prescription use, due to the primary facts of 1.) no clinically effective true clinical Phase trials for indication, and 2.) the marked concern about the method of administration— inhaled vegetable smoke— more deeply inhaled and with breath held inhalation of raw smoke. In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50–70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke, with resultant increase in incidence and frequency of cancer found in chronic users. There are multiple trials concerning the cancer rates present in chronic marijuana smokers, including statistical separation of pot smokers who also chronically smoked tobacco.
Nothing against hemp variety cannabis and CBD, or the studied Dronabinol/THC oral admin., both of which are effective clinical agents.
Smoked marijuana has none of these “medically beneficial” results. This is the basis of my posted point.
You write like a second-grader, or perhaps—offering a little latitude—the sort of adult who has smoked his brain away.
As you regress down the path of drooling (those Doritos get in the way!) incomprehension you might wish to hire an assistant to polish your dicktation.
Because something is for darned sure interfering with your attempts to communicate.
Good luck ol’ smoke.
More ASSumptions lol
Have a listen and learn the truth or keep ASSuming you know what you do not lol!

You think and write like a child.
As I say, good luck to you.
See ya, troll lol!
Hope you get your get over your love affair with ASSumptions one day soon!
"There is conclusive or substantial evidence that cannabis or cannabinoids are effective:
"For the treatment of chronic pain in adults (cannabis)
"As antiemetics in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (oral cannabinoids)
"For improving patient-reported multiple sclerosis spasticity symptoms (oral cannabinoids)"
Knowing things that just ain't so is the heart of the prohibitionist mentality.
One gram lasts me about 3 weeks! Once I thought about buying an ounce on sale but realized most of it would turn to Cannabis dust before I used it.
