>>hum? I have two doctors that say red wine has many health benefits<<
But did he/she PRESCRIBE wine?
That is the bright line we can draw here. Nifster makes the argument that prescribed pot is used for getting high (and we conclude there is a “therefore it is bad anyway.”
If I am wrong about the “therefore...” part, I stand corrected and ask Nifster to explain the point of his/her post.
If I am not then the strawman conflagration continues unabated.
Oh, I think I get it.
in California where so many of these medical pot cases seem to come from (though this one doesn’t) anyone can walk into a pot shop. Most are full service shops....they have a doc who will write you an Rx for your card, you pick up your card, and then you get your weed
My complaint about the use of pot for ‘medicinal’ purposes is that a) there is NO way to gage the dosage one gets from whatever weed is consumed; b) there are NO scientific studies which prove efficacy of pot (as opposed to the active ingredient of THC) in any medical usage; and 3) there are no specific criteria by which pot is prescribed (i.e. no standard set of symptoms) instead what you have are people getting cards for everything from anxiety to generalized pain to allergies ....it is all over the board
