>>since I do not use alcohol<<

That sums up your arguments. If you don’t care for it no one should do it.

I depend on no mind-altering drugs, but I do need a few life-preserving ones. I am sure you begrudge me the latter while inaccurately asserting the former.

I think there is a forum for Nanny-staters on down the road to the left a piece.

an endocrinologist while interesting is not a pain management doc. since you live in SB give a call to UCLA they have some excellent pain management docs there

And really thoughts and prayers for you and your family. Chronic pain is a tough one to live with. I hope only the best possible outcome for you

You jump to conclusions not borne out by my words. I don’t care if you drink. I don’t care if you do drugs. Just do not ask me to pick up the pieces of your mess. And the ‘you’ in this case is generalized not you specifically. I think it is a lot like riding a motorcycle with a helmet. I think that is a good thing to do. If you do not want to wear one don’t become a ward of the state for your medical care when you splatter your brains on the pavement.

I made no argument that others should or shouldn’t do anything in particular

What I stated were facts about dosage, availability of marinol....

I get tired of the folks who want to get stoned and complain when a government won’t let them. If you are that desperate to avoid reality I feel sorry for you.

So you would rather have a part brain removed? How does that make any sense at all?

Ahem -- You jump to conclusions not borne out by my words.

You are just a busybody who, now pressed into the corner by your own words, attempts to strike out by ascribing terrible ills and "having to pick pieces up" etc. when you have no facts, no data, no links, no nothing.

You just don't like people doing what you don't like. The OP was clear on the benefits of MJ and you, in a leap of fallacious (or perhaps fallatious) logic think it is government's job to stop people from doing that which you don't care for.

I apologize, sounding like a whining b#itch is not something I usually do.
Thanks again.

because in the cases where this has been done the brain remaining works perfectly normally and there is no deficit in the individual....

I have said repeatedly that I am not going to respond to whether a government can or even should out law certain behaviors or drugs.

I don’t not give a rats behind if you want to break whatever laws exist.

You apparently did not bother to read the article. The benefits claimed are simply anecdotal and not scientific in any manner or form. A dietary change had the same results at one point for the child.

You have no clue has to what you are talking about but blather on.

Her seizures have dropped from 1,200 a month to three, and the ones she has are shorter in duration and less severe

The "simple science" is settled. It WORKS! AMEN.
