Where are all the drug warriors to say that he got no less than his just desserts??????

I agree, the persecutor in this case should be in prison for life and in a JUST and free society, that is exactly where he'd be!

Maybe we need a WOD ping list!?

I've been thinking starting one. jmc813 had one back in the day. It was made up of people from both sides of the issue. Wolfie sorta keeps one now, but it's not really an "official" ping list.

the persecutor

Heh. I'm not sure whether "persecutor" is a typo or not, but in this case it fits.

I wonder if this wheelchair bound menace to society is going to occupy a cell for 25 years that could be used for a rapist or murderer.

No you don't! Don't you even think about that. Not while the hard working men and women of our criminal justice system are protecting the youth of America from the scourge of criminals like Richard Paey.

Nope, not a typo... just the fact of the matter!

Good points in your post!

I find some very hypocritical when they don't want euthanesia, yet will not push for ease of enough pain meds for people in pain. And that includes medical marijuana.
Let's at least start there.

Smoking marijuana has proved to be the most dependable pain relief of all.

I smoked pot for many years and NEVER found it to be an effective means of pain relief. At all.
In fact pot always made me more sensitive to pain or any other sensation for that matter (which is why I always liked pot for sex).

Percocet, vicodin and opiates are the ONLY meds that ever gave me pain relief.

Guilty until proven innocent is now the norm.

If you think this story is bad, don't look into what the ATFE insist is settled law.

I am so relieved that we have rational, compassionate Freeprs on this issue. Maybe we need a WOD ping list!?

You're kidding, right?

You still have a lot of recovering to do. There are multiple ping lists for the vocal handful of people here who never use drugs themselves, but have made legalizing them the focal-point of their political philosophy.

Let's be nice to Bob. He's my favorite person to debate the futility of the WOD against.

Mine too.He said something on a non drug thread the other day that I actually agreed with him on. I almost had a heart attack on the spot :-)

What I think helps with my neck is that cannabis seems to improve blood flow and especially in the smaller blood vessels. (note that it reddens the eyes) Apparently in the case of my neck pain, improved blood flow and being in a mild euphoric relaxed muscle state - I'm able to do light yoga stretches and ease the pain in my neck and back.

or any other sensation for that matter (which is why I always liked pot for sex).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As far as sex - I have to agree that cannabis makes sex a lot better and I attribute that also to two factors -

One - Cannabis use improves blood flow - which is what makes the penis erect and from what my wife tells me - has a helping effect on the female anatomy.

Two - The mild euphoric state of mind does serve to make sexual intercouse more enjoyable.

That he couldn't prove he was taking all those pills sounds very odd. Wouldn't they show up on things like drug tests on hairs? Or did the state manage to maneuver that evidence out of the court?

Wanna bet the disqualifier for jury service was "have you ever had a headache or worse."

Yea - I was on that thread and almost commented about that - but I thought he would think I was B.S.ing him.
