Not surprising. Carey is well known for his love of skunk and hookers.

but he defends the use of medical marijuanaAs do I. It was the ONLY thing that helped my wife through her 2 bouts of breast cancer. You have no idea how heartbreaking it is to stay up all night, constantly emptying the "bucket" so it can be used again & again.

Good for him.
It’s about time the whole “Marijuana is the DEBIL !!!” bullshit stopped.

If it works for her: great. We always hear about certain segments of the population that get relief from nausea.

He’s also well known for standing up for his own rights and not letting anyone infringe on his rights when he’s not infringing on others rights.

Marijuana helped my mother with her nausau and not be so looped that she couldn’t enjoy the last few months with her family. The other nauseau drugs knock you out.
Ready for the flaming of me and my mother who went to church for her whole life and was a hard choice to try it. I urged her. I told her “Mama, people who smoke for cancer don’t smoke to get high, they smoke to get by”. She tried it and it worked. At least until the very very end. Then nothing helped.

P.S. But the five months she had AWAKE with her grandchildren, husband and me were worth it.

I was channel surfing yesterday and happened upon "In Pot We Trust" on Showtime. I only saw about the last 30 mins, but caught several testimonials from very regular looking folks using marijuana to help deal with medical issues. The improvements were quite evident. The medical marijuana lobby was shown (mostly being shut down by politicians) and LEOs tearing down a 'garden' they had found. The phone rang while I was watching, but I'm pretty sure they included an interview with a recreational user as well.
Anyway, it was an good documentary that seemed to showed both sides, IMHO.

He’s also known for being a damn fine Marine and raising more than a little cash for Marine families.

Good for Carey. It’s insane to have to ask the government for permission to consume a plant, especially if you are dying of cancer.

"Carey and a team of fellow comedians traveled to the Southwest Asia theater of operations to entertain forward-deployed troops Aug 24." Oddly I find myself mentioning Showtime twice on the same thread! One of the first things I watched on Showtime when we ordered it was a documentary by a comedian who 'gave in' to Carey's asking him to join and entertain the troops. It was awesome, and of course I can't remember the name of it!
I already like Carey, his tv shows and his stand up. He's a stand up guy and my 'daughter of a WWII B-17 Pilot' hat is off to him. Like Gary Sinese (sp??), he's out there doing his thing for the troops without hordes of media coverage and pomp and circumstance.

Anyone that would flame that is a “pure male donkey” with a hole.
Experiencing that would likely change opinions.

I have no problem with medical marijuana. I just think it should be handled the same as any other drug - tested, reviewed, etc.
For the most part, it shouldn't be smoked. There are other ways to get the benefits of it without adding the harm of repeatedly filling lungs with smoke to an already sick person.

This is the only issue the Dems have right. The Repubs come off as jackboots on this one... because they are.
