OK, it’s time for all the usual FReeper libertarians to come out of the woodwork for medical marijuana, which if I am not mistaken is SMOKED, with all the attendant hazards to one’s lungs.

All together now, “There is no pain reliever EVER produced by medical and pharmaceutical science that is as effective as smoking marijuana!” Go ahead, proclaim it to the heavens.

I’m in the Reserves. Tomorrow morning, more than likely I will have to stand observed and pee in the bottle to prove my innocence of not having used an illegal drug.

Therefore I really have no pity for marijuana smokers of any stripe. Oh, I forgot to add, I’m in the JAG Corps and I process the paperwork to separate those who “popped hot”.

So flame away.

When they make owning a gun a crime will you turn yours in?

No victim, no crime. Does “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” convey a message of fraud or what.

This story is linked at JackHerer.com and people that somehow think that we are on the right path really need to read the online edition of “The Emperor Wears No Clothes.”

Hemp/cannabis prohibition is so wrong, they won’t let anyone get on television and call it a fraud and demand a cost-benefit analysis of a prohibition policy that does not even prohibit- thank goodness.

You may know law, but you surely do not know justice. The harms of cannabis come from the laws with a big part of that being letting the greatest medicinal plant in the history of man do its job.

Cannabis prohibition is a crime against humanity and mass murder and you either understand it or you don’t. Be sure and watch Run From The Cure at JackHerer.com. He also has a YouTube channel, JackHererTV, that has some eyewitness testimony.

As Jack Herer says using the extensive Jamaican studies, if you use hemp everyday morning, noon, and night you will live two years longer and live a healthier and happy life with that.

“If and when impediments to medical marijuana use are removed and the American people begin to avail themselves of it en masse, the pharmaceutical manufacturers will lose a third or more of their sales.”== Fred Gardner at http://counterpunch.org/gardner02042009.html

Free Pot.
Legalize it already.

Just think - once upon a time you would have been a free man in a free country.

What a sorry pass we have come to.

I won’t flame you, I’ll just say....but for the Grace of God go you...

So is tobacco.

Americans should not have the federal government, in contravention of both the state government and the doctor, intervene in their medical decisions.

I’m in the Reserves. Tomorrow morning, more than likely I will have to stand observed and pee in the bottle to prove my innocence of not having used an illegal drug.

Many private sector employers also have drug tests.

Therefore I really have no pity for marijuana smokers of any stripe. Oh, I forgot to add, I’m in the JAG Corps and I process the paperwork to separate those who “popped hot”.

I have no objection to marijuana smokers facing a dishonorable discharge. You seem to be muddling up the issue of recreational drug use and medical marijuana use.

So flame away.

No flames here, just discussion.

[Mariner]

"So flame away".

What's to flame? You made absolutely NO ARGUMENT TO SUPPORT THE CONTINUED BAN!

Just who's the dunce here?

Do you know why cannabis was made illegal? If you’re in the JAG Corps you are an intelligent individual - educate yourself:

Racism (number one reason)
Fear
Protection of Corporate Profits (certainly you jest)
Yellow Journalism (what, here in America)
Ignorant, Incompetent, and/or Corrupt Legislators (no way)
Personal Career Advancement and Greed

So you're bragging that another man will be looking at your penis. OK.
