I worked security for that “farm”. It’s in Oxford, MS, and is used by the University of Mississippi Pharmaceutical College.

Not all tumors are malignant.
To: rawcatslyentist
Of course it does. That’s why doctors use it so much to cure cancer

Quite unclear, yes. I think it was a fair question.

If there was a way to make a profit using pot, doctors would be all over it. My chemo costs $26,000 per treatment. One six hour treatment every three weeks. That is a money maker for the hospitals and doctors.

Rosenfeld made the remark Tuesday and then held up a silver canister containing 300 pre-rolled joints, a month's supply. For him and how many others? Even the most ardent dopers I knew in the past wouldn't have that kind of supply for only themselves.

Note that a guy who smokes 10 joints a day, every day, is completely capable of testifying before a legislative committee in a sober, rational way.
Try that after drinking beer, wine or booze all day, every day, since 1982.
Ten joints a day would classify any pot smoker as a heavy abuser by our current standards, yet this man obviously can function normally in society. Perhaps the “standards” need some rethinking.
Also note that he is a stockbroker - quite a responsible, demanding job, not the stereotypical lazy hippie that the drug warriors like to use as the example of a pot smoker.
Do you think the government has the right to tell you what you may & may not consume?

Do you think the government has the right to tell you what you may & may not consume?Some "conservatives" think the government has the right to tell OTHERS what THEY may & may not consume - if the government comes after their booze, smokes, or Big Gulps they'll sing a different tune.

He's a patient not a "doper". At 10 marijuana cigs a day, he's a doper. Seriously, how does he even function?

He does function - he speaks coherently in legislative hearings and interviews and holds down a job as a stockbroker.
Reality is contrary to your preconceptions. How are you going to respond?

Reality is contrary to your preconceptions. How are you going to respond? Only with anecdotal evidence of past dealings with what I would call pot-heads (regular smokers - 2 or more joints/day, no drive, no desire, no nothing). This person is obviously an exception to the norm.
I was simply questioning quantity. It seems quite excessive. Has he built a tolerance, or is what he's smoking not as potent as it could be? I'm simply asking based on what I've witnessed in the past.

or is what he's smoking not as potent as it could be?
Also likely - his pot is grown by the government, which can't grow fuzz on a peach.

That’s 10 joints a day, every day. And he’s done that for 32 years???
