It's the abuse of it and the negative health risks associated with it for those not under the care of a physician.
"Also, our Constitution is USELESS & BANAL if we allow our gov’t to abuse it as we have with the current unconstitutional Controlled Substances act."
If you consider it to be unconstitutional. I do not.
Thank you. I saw an interview of a young woman who had horrible arthritis & severe depression. Her arthritis was so bad she has a hip & ankle replaced as a teenager. She was asked once if she could chose between her crippling arthritis & depression. Which one would she keep.
“Arthritis”, she said. “Living with depression is hell on earth”. I agree with her
I'd actually disagree with this, too. I've lived with depression and other ailments for most of my life, and as bad as depression is, constant physical pain is NOT preferable.
"Another lovely fallacy. I can read you mind equally as well as you can read mine which means not at all lol."
Again, I'll state it plainly that the only reason for its legit usage is entirely for medical reasons (and I don't mean a hangnail, either). If you disagree, well, then so be it. I will never agree that it should be legalized for non-medical reasons.
“It’s the abuse of it and the negative health risks associated with it for those not under the care of a physician.”
This reads like something straight out of Fedzilla or a progressive manifesto.
Who are you to decide when someone’s use = abuse?
Who are you to tell someone they cannot make their own health decisions?
By what authority do you come to these conclusions?
“I’ve lived with depression and other ailments for most of my life, and as bad as depression is, constant physical pain is NOT preferable.”
1st off, I am VERY sorry you have or have had depression issues. I pray if you are not presently free of it that you will be asap!!! 2ndly, have you looked into dietary methods of treatment? I ask because I am about to go on a zero carb diet to see if I can get to a place where I need no medication of any kind for depression/anxiety. I’ve read a lot of anecdotal evidence, testimonials of people who’ve successfully achieved what I have with cannabis via zero carb & straight carnivore.
In any case, I wish you nothing but the soonest possible recovery from your depression & other ailments.
If you consider it to be unconstitutional. I do not.
But it is - it is based on a "substantial effect" test for interstate commerce authority that is found nowhere in the language of the Constitution and that Justice Clarence Thomas has condemned as a "rootless and malleable standard." (The same test that has authorized the federal big-welfare state, by the by.)
