Get ‘em hooked with free samples.

Nonsense - it's for "Lake County residents who have prescriptions".

[Mr. Blond]

That first part was tongue in cheek. But if a fire victim’s primary concern is where to get their weed, they have problems.

Who said it was their primary concern?

[Mr. Blond]

The dispensaries seem to think so.

The dispensaries seem to think so.

At least as likely an explanation is that the dispensaries want to do well by doing good (positive PR). And even if you were right about the dispensaries: since they don't speak for the fire victims, what the dispensaries think says nothing about any fire victim’s primary concern.

So what? Should conservatives play the flip side of the left's ad hominem game, e.g., "The billionaire Koch brothers oppose climate change legislation, therefore all such opposition is evil"?

[MarvinStinson]

Are you saying that anyone who calls Soros’ “marijuana is medicine” crap a scam is a leftwinger?

LOL

Try again.

I’m sure you can do better than that.

No, I'm saying that anyone who claims that Soros' support is relevant to the policy debate is using leftwingers' tactics.

[ConservingFreedom]

For an example of something that is relevant to the policy debate, see post #17:

From the federal National Institute on Drug Abuse (http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuana-medicine:

Currently, the two main cannabinoids from the marijuana plant that are of medical interest are THC and CBD.

THC increases appetite and reduces nausea. The FDA-approved THC-based medications are used for these purposes. THC may also decrease pain, inflammation (swelling and redness), and muscle control problems.

CBD is a cannabinoid that does not affect the mind or behavior. It may be useful in reducing pain and inflammation, controlling epileptic seizures, and possibly even treating mental illness and addictions.

NIH-funded and other researchers are continuing to explore the possible uses of THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids for medical treatment.

George Soros has spent at least $80 million to get pot legalized in the US and Uruguay

Anyone who pushes marijuana

is either a pothead

or stands to gain monetarily from Soros’ “legalization” scam.

George Soros Funding Pot Legalization Push

So that's a yes to my question. We'll have to agree to disagree.

[ConservingFreedom]

Anyone who pushes marijuana

Nobody here is doing that; I'm noting the established medical benefits of cannabis (with no response from you other than "Soros!").
