Medical marihuana doesn't have quite the same lobbying power as Pfizer and Merck. I guess oxycontin is pretty nutritous though.
Yeah, it's hard to make a huge profit on a medicine that you can easily grow in your back yard.
This program will be hard to abuse, unlike California's. The pot advocates can't be too happy about that.
This is your government. This is your government on pharmaceutical lobbying cash.
It happens every time a state does this, so I should stop being amazed: WTF is a federal official using our federal tax dollars doing in a state trying to influence its internal legislative matters? Where's a state senator with the balls to tell these out-of-staters to get the hell out?
If NM wants this, then let them have it. With the drug being grown by the goverment, seems pretty controlled. Basically it seems like a States-rights issue.
One more reason not to use it:
Typical big government hysteria against an herb that has been grown and consumed since the dawn of time.
can lead to “serious mental illness ,” depression and suicide.
What a load of BS.
That picture reminds me of the long term pot users I've known, rude and angry.
CAUSES dpression suicide, and mental illness? What in the hell evidence has been found that it causes any of these things?
The feds have no problem meddling with states' business except when it comes to aprehending and deporting illegal aliens.
He's in the article: "Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen , took him to task for those words, pointing out that sponsors of crime legislation often bring victims of crimes to testify without being called “cynical and manipulative .”
“I don’t know how you do it back East,” Sanchez told Murray, “But this is the people’s house. Everybody has a right to be here just as much as you do. When you said this to us, you showed us where you were really at. I don’t think you should go to a state and say such things about their people.”"
So you concede that you smoked some pot too and had a bad trip? Kewl!
And it's rich in magic and unicorn giggles.
The numbnut who said this must have been on real drugs such as LSD or PCP.
...This is your government. This is your government on pharmaceutical lobbying cash....
Sad but true.
"police the borders."
That's a good one. They can't make any money off that. That's less profitable than if marijuana replaces some drug that Johnson & Johnson manufactures.
Actually, the preferred method of smoking pot is through "blunts," which are hollowed-out cigars, although most people use good-old Zig-Zag cigarette papers.
Nice try at posting a pic that probably represent a miniscule fraction of marijuana users.
