What is even more bizarre are those Freepers who want to deny marijuana to old people with terminal illnesses.

That is like the hospitals that don't want their terminal patients to smoke.

Use some common sense, people, and allow folks to have some dignity (spelled f_r_e_e_d_o_m) in their last days.

Any other view is just gross cruelty.

"What is even more bizarre are those Freepers who want to deny marijuana to old people with terminal illnesses."

Yeah. Good point. I mean, they are terminal -- they're going to die anyways.

Gosh. Do you think, maybe, we can go ahead and harvest their organs and skin and bones now instead of waiting? I mean, come on. Why wait? They're going to die anyways and we have people today that can use their corneas and livers and kidneys.

OK. Maybe I went too far.

Can we experiment on them? There are a lot of new (potentially dangerous) drugs that need human subjects. Since these people are going to die anyways ....

What other snake oil nostrums do you want to sell to the elderly?

If there are those who want to prescribe weed...God knows why-—let them do it in pill form...prescribed by a doctor not the neighborhood junkie.

At the same time, IMO, this argument about the sick and dying people who are in pain and need their reefer is a manipulative ploy used by pot heads who want the drug legalized. Would you be in favor of marijuana in pill form, with the appropriate ingredients isolated scientifically for inclusion in the pill? Remember that regular old reefer contains a lot of extra chemicals which do nothing for pain relief.

Or withhold morphine from patients dying in agony, lest they become addicted.

Thank God I got morphine when my pancreas exploded. I would have surely died of shock otherwise.
