Worse yet, there are LEGAL drugs such a Prozac and Paxil out there, which have been proven to cause violent and suicidal actions in some users...something marijuana has never been proven to do.
I don’t understand the entire struggle of “medical marijuana”. If I wanted to smoke it, I would smoke it. It’s fairly easy to grow without detection for personal use. Sure it’s illegal, but since when did any law stop anyone from doing anything they wanted, especially when it’s a victimless crime anyway.
There are some real pricks on this site, eh?
Your right to life is not enforceable against brain tumors.
So easy, in fact, it is reported to be the largest cash crop in the US.
Still, if we wish to be a nation of free poeple, we must allow people to be free - or just admit we live in a police state, because some people like it that way.
Freedom scares their panties off.
I see the FR dopers came out of the woodwork again.
They want to ultimately get to the point where insurance covers it.
Am I free to inject heroin, commit suicide?
That's very true, I know this from personal experience, and the doctors seem to force this garbage on people if they are just having a bad day. At the same time, if you are having chronic pain issues, the very same doctors that will push potentially harmful antidepressants on you will often times ignore your suffering and tell you to take Advil or some other ineffective OTC pain medication, because the more effective pain medicines are "addictive". I'm all for someone being able to 'self medicate' as needed, because it seems the entire health care profession is clueless and too afraid of the DEA to help most folks.
If you think that I am a doper, I invite you to call my employer and tell him of your suspicians.
Pack first - you will be visiting a federal resort...
LOL
Absolutely - go do either one, right now.
No one will stop you, rest assured.

Besides the brain tumor, Raich, a 41-year-old mother of two, suffers from scoliosis, wasting syndrome, fibromyalgia and a host of other ailments.
Oh, the drama.
It is a lousy pain killer, the user has no idea how much THC they are getting, there are dozens of better analgesics on the market,... and even if marijuana was so great, THC is legally and readily available as a cheap generic drug call Marinol.
This has never been anything but a poorly disguised “let’s legalize all drugs” far-left liberal campaign wrapped in a false “freedom” wrapper and some foolish Conservatives buy it.
Gee, let’s see who is paying for the campaign?
George Seros is the biggest contributor, the others are mostly rich Hollywood dopers, drug dealers and far-left California politicos.
They wouldn’t lie to us, would they?
And I see the FR foaming-at-the-mouth control freaks never left. If by "woodwork" you mean a job that doesn't always allow me to be glued to FR 24-7, guilty as charged. But I bet if someone in your family developed a brain tumor, and found marijuana to be the most effective painkiller, you'd be singing a different tune, and wouldn't be equating freedom with a government boot-to-the-face.
I agree with you there. I doubt it blocks pain receptors in the brain. I don't buy the entire "medical marijuana" movement, but at the same time I believe it should be legalized. If it's legal for someone to purchase and drink bourbon or cigarettes, I don't see how marijuana is any different. It probably isn't as bad for you.
Chill out dude. Roll yourself a doob, pour yourself a beer. It’ll be alright.
LOLOL
I don’t understand how somebody can lose their constitutional right to life in this country
