I don’t thin any FReeper is arguing against the medical use of any plant. We can all see, with our own lyin’ eyes, that the huge majority of the medical pot users just want to get high. And no, deliberately altering your consciousness to this degree is NOT a victimless crime.

“And no, deliberately altering your consciousness to this degree is NOT a victimless crime.”

So any time someone gets really drunk or takes one of countless Rx drugs that impair WAY more that pot, it should automatically be a crime?

How do you know the “huge majority” of Rx pill users aren’t also faking it and just trying to get high? I know several pharmacists and heard that is exactly the case with opiods and stimulants according to their ‘lying eyes’. They can’t prove anything though and speculating on people’s personal lives will hurt people who actually need the pills.

Instead of growing a nanny police state to speculate on every aspect of people’s private lives, wouldn’t it be more reasonable to only prosecute REAL crimes against actual people/property? i.e. Things like Murder, rape, assault and theft.

What we have now is a bloody slippery slope that will eventually lead to even “bad” thoughts being outlawed to “save” all of us from ourselves. Once you opened the barndoor of outlawing people eating their own plants on their own property, anything could be legislated. Even frickin lemonade stands...

Wow, are you actually this ignorant or do you have to work at it? As someone who turned to medical cannabis because nothing else would help me cope with anti-depressant withdrawal syndrome I can assure you this is NOT the case. Rather than spew prohibition-nanny state propaganda you might want to educate yourself.
