There are a lot of high paying jobs in the oil and gas industry in CO right now. Just sayin'.
I saw that same young man on TV. His condition looked painful. He had a boatload of prescription drugs that weren’t helping. Keep in mind that you don’t have to smoke anything, vape pens (the same thing as e-cigarettes) are the thing to use to avoid harmful smoke.
What, the desire to be free and to make choices for oneself, instead of being told what we can and can't do under the false pretense of security? I thought that's what conservatives were about?
Don't forget the edibles, too!
No
The absence of rational thought. The absence of logic and coherence of argument.
Who is calling it a cure all? The truth is, there MAY be a lot of medicinal uses that, frankly, we don't know about due to a lack of study. We are only now learning of many of the benefits, but as a supporter, I'd say it's yet too early to call it a "cure all".
This entire propaganda piece is written as if the cannabis oil has controlled her seizures, is the only thing that could work.
It waits til the last sentence to tell the truth:
“they obtained a medical marijuana card that let them place an order for a batch cannabis oil, in hopes it will control Anna’s seizures”
They have no idea if it will even help.
This is sad exploitation of a family, using the daughter’s unfortunate condition to exploit and scam them.
Or it’s all a scam including the family, as has often been the case in propaganda pieces for “medical marijuana” but I am accepting it on face value that the family is honest and sincere and are victims, not participants.
Do you know anyone with a medical marijuana card?
A fresh plant tincture of ditch weed is useful for glaucoma and has no psychoactive properties in it. Perhaps it would work for you. If you can find the ditch weed the most expensive part will be the alcohol.
It will. I've watched it stop a seizure cold. I've a friend with these issues. He and I did some informal experimentation. He knew when a seizure was coming on, so we'd wait one out, let it run its course. The next, he would medicate. He could be right on the cusp of the seizure, and medicating it would stop the seizure dead in its tracks, every single time. This has also been documented quite a bit. believe me, if you experienced it first hand, you'd be surprised that your current suppositions are based on entirely false premises.
Quite a few folks, actually. I don't personally have one. Just because something is legal, doesn't mean you hafta partake, and I choose not to. However, I've personally witnessed the medicinal effects in a number of friends and acquaintances, for a variety of symptons/illnesses.
You remind me of my wife. I’ve never met someone who was so entirely opposed it, no matter what. Then one day, she sat and watched a friend of mine. She’s now a full on believer. 180 degrees, once she actually opened up enough to see exactly what it can do, particularly for someone with seizures, and potentially for the war scarred vets returning with PTSD and such.
“And it’s expensive. A pound of good bud runs $2,500 to $3,000 in the Bay Area, and Finley delivers to anywhere in California. Aldrich says a three-month regimen cost her $1,200 a month; Finley charges $5,500 for a two-month cycle”
As far as the family moving to CO.
Here’s the thing. This entire article is bogus.
It is conceivable marijuana could help her seizures.
All her family, or anyone, would need to do is get some dope, extract the cannabinoids by sautéing in butter or oil and make cookies or brownies for her.
No need to move to CO. No need for expensive “oil”.
Maybe it would help. Probably not, if her seizures are as bad an non-responsive to current approved drugs.
But who knows.
But this is propaganda, we can know that.
The legality factor would be the reason. Not really a need to MOVE, per se, but to keep it on the 'legal' side, I can see the reasoning to come to Colorado.
As for the oil, it's quite simple to make, and isn't expensive. The recipe was actually given above. You're right in that edibles would be the way to go, for a child. I wouldn't advocate having them smoke it.
Based on experience, I’d say that a 2 month regimen of oil could be had for quite a lot less than several thousand. A few hundred, perhaps, and maybe even getting close to 1000, but in reality, for $1,000 I could make several month’s worth.
I am not opposed to it no matter what.
I grew up in this milieu.
I know dope and dope heads and was there when this movement started. I was for it when it began.
It is a liberal scam and I hate seeing conservatives not from the liberal left regions be snookered by this scam of medical marijuana that I have now been exposed to my entire life.
They say for cancer it must be very concentrated. Hence the large amount of potent bud used for the extraction.
It’s a scam I hate seeing.
Modern day snake oil that gives false hope.
I don't have glaucoma.
I know. You were looking for a cannabis medication so I thought I would mention it. Never mind.
I really don't see it as liberal or conservative. I know that the movement began with the hippie libs, I get it, but the proof is in the pudding. There are people out there that claim it worked for their cancer. I can't speak to cancer, as I've not seen it personally. I have, however, seen it work very well for seizures, as well as for mental issues/imbalance. It's amazing and works extremely effectively, and I don't care what any liberal or conservative says about it. What I've seen with my own eyes, I know to be true.
