Rejoice Libertarians! The one stronghold keeping American from freedom is being razed. Tomorrow the IRS, EPA, NEA, DHS, TSA, etc will all be sent home.
It's even better new for people with seizures, and those who care about them.
Cannabis oil is a scam.
It’s sold as a cure all.
Truly from the depths of Hell comes this scam on hurting people.
People like Rep. Fleming don’t care until it hits a loved one. Remember Lynn Nofziger, the Reagan staffer? He had a battlefield conversion when his daughter got cancer and need marijuana to help ease the side effects of chemo. THEN it was ok.
It's being "sold" here as a treatment for seizures - and a pharmaceutical company has skin in the game.
It’s sold as a cancer cure as well.
I know someone who’s father was diagnosed with a lung cancer recently.
She heard about cannabis oil and how it would cure cancer. She wanted to spend thousands of dollars to buy it because these scam artists from the depths of Hell sell it as a cure for cancer.
In truth though, I've never been rabidly opposed to marijuana. My main objection to it was the ready availibity of it to children (under 21), studies have shown that it is harmful to children. I'm vehemently opposed to my 14 year old son and 15 year old daughter smoking anything.
I smoked cigarettes for 50 years, giving them up 6 years ago.
Because of my shaking, I've lost the ability to write or print even semi legibly, even typing is difficult.
It has taken me about 5 minutes to type this relatively short reply.
***The three-page bill***
Must be a Republican bill. A DEM bill would have three pages of the same thing plus 2000 pages of special interest pork.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Beware!
Regardless what FDR's activist justices wanted everybody to think about the scope of Congress's Commerce Clause powers in Wickard v. Filburn, federal laws criminalizing mariquana would apply only to interstate trade, imo, not to intrastate trade. This is evidenced by the following excerpts from pre-FDR era Supreme Court case opinions where justices not only clarified that the states have never delegated to Congress, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate commerce, but also that the states have likewise never granted Congress the specific power to regulate intrastate agriculture.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.r
Note that there is nothing stopping the states from amending the Constitution to grant Congress the specific power to regulate intrastate marijuana production if that is what the states want.
America wasn’t razed before there were laws against marijuana. As it is now, you cannot even grow industrial hemp (marijuana), a valuable and useful cash crop, which contains very little THC. DemocRats created the WOD to imprison more blacks on southern prison plantations and Republicans should end it.
Of course- a drugged up, stoned populace is a controllable populace. Keep’em stoned and happy and they don’t give a damn about anything else. Personally- I think druggies should be given ALL the drugs they want-free- let’em OD and be done with it.Collect all the confiscated drugs- have a stadium where the addicts could come indulge until they dropped then call a waste disposal system. Repeat weekly.
Which part of "low percentage of THC" did you not understand?
let’em OD and be done with it.
Nobody has ever fatally ODed on marijuana (unlike alcohol).
Thousands of dollars???!!! That's hilarious. It doesn't cost thousands. As for lung cancer, dunno how well it'll work, but it certainly has healing properties for some skin cancers. I've never seen it sold as a "cure all", however. You might want to do a little more research before you spout the "evil weed" propaganda, which is completely false.
Which is just one good argument FOR legalization. I guarantee you that not one street corner dealer will check your kid's ID. On the other hand, the shops here in CO are doing an excellent job with that.
I saw a young man on tv with the same symptoms I have, smoke a low THC joint and the problem went away immediately.
It's amazing how effective and fast acting it is. I hope you find that it works for you. It may not, but from the sounds of it, it most likely will. Keep me in the loop, as I'd like to know how it works out for you.
Unlike alcohol, or perfectly legal prescription drugs.
I think you should do a little more reality based research and drop your magical thinking.
As per price, the oil needs a lot of dope for extraction and it costs thousands.
Trust me, it doesn't cost thousands. You have no idea, clearly. There's a difference between speaking from experience, and learning about it via propaganda. I promise you, from the depths of my cold, black libertarian heart, it does NOT cost thousands.
“Apricot pit extract was once sold as a cure for cancer - a contemptible practice, but hardly a good argument for banning apricots.”
Quite an odd analogy.
I understand the lack of logical thinking and rational thought on the part of the liberals, who pioneered the call for pot as panacea.
But it’s sad to see it in supposed conservatives.
