“I’m sorry, but this “mariajana as a great painkiller” is such BS.

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.

The problem with depending on marijuana is that, like the coffee enemas, aroma therapy, laetrile and other quackery, Marijuana keeps the patient from using advanced drugs that work wonderfully to control pain and restore appetite.

P.S. let’s see who is paying for the Pro-marijuana 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?

Have you personally experienced the same thing as this person has?

What about those people that say it gives them relief? How can anyone else determine if they feel better from something, and why should someone else, have the right to say...no, this can’t possibly make you feel better, so we’ve determined you shouldn’t have it...Should their opinion about how they personally feel, just be discounted?

Yeah, I am sure this woman who is dying of cancer is really only concerned with getting another bag of dope and getting high. You know, the way dying sort of focuses your desires and interests on all those non-consequential things. She is just another damn pothead USING her own medical condition to MANIPULATE the brave souls who protect us from things we are too damn stupid to know about. THANK GOD FOR THE US GOVERNMENT AND HOW IT WORKS CEASELESSLY TO PROTECT US! Who knows what wild, stupid, and irresponsible things a populace might do if we left them alone?

Finally, No. I don't smoke pot and haven't for 32 years.

Like Clarence Thomas and Wm. Rehnquist, who both voted in favor of Raich?

Let me ask you this. Where in the Constitution is the federal government delegated the power to override state law with respect to medical marijuana. Looking for YOUR personal opinion on the Constitution, not a court decision.

Does it bother you that the biggest anti-pot organizations are also major league gun-grabbers?

Let's have a look at the other side of the aisle, too. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, now there's a trustworthy bunch.
