The scam is not that it may help people wit seizures.
The scam is it becomes universally available to anyone for anything.
It’s just a round about way to legalize it.
As far as your experience. Anecdotal evidence really means nothing.
If you are adverse to smoking it, edibles would be the way to go in your case. Edibles take longer to take effect, but have a more potent effect. Smoking is just about instant. Those that I know do it for seizures have all symptoms of the seizure completely disappear within just a few minutes of ingesting it. I’m amazed every time I see it.
Note there may be another industry that would be potentially impacted by this... hemp makes the best mooring lines.
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.
It's a very close analogy ... unless you're saying you don't support the cannabis ban.
Oxycodone is prescribable - are you predicting it will soon become universally available to anyone for anything?
Now, making low-THC marijuana available for medical use may indirectly further the cause of high-THC marijuana legalization ... by replacing some of the hysterical phobia with the fact that, like so many things in life, there are plusses and minuses to marijuana. But that's just reality - which conservatives shouldn't fear.
This CO company sells 50 grams of cannabis oil for $1,300. That is a far cry from thousands of dollars FWIW.
Does it work? I have no idea.
This response shows your lack of familiarity with medical marijuana “prescriptions”.
Prescriptions are given out at dispensaries to anyone for anything.
This is what I mean by it being a scam. It has taken you in.
I'm pretty sure prescriptions are never given out at dispensaries - although they are filled there. And are you claiming nobody has ever been turned down for a marijuana prescription?
You are wrong.
Nothing personal against you, but you are in no way familiar with this.
Every stoner goes and gets their card. For insomnia is probably the biggest one. Headaches maybe second.
Thisis the vast majority of the clientele.
If it really worked as real prescriptions for actual patients with actual diseases such as glaucoma, that would be ok and even before these scam laws, that did happen.
I wouldn't say EVERY one. Many, but not all. If it really worked as real prescriptions
The Rx comes from a real, live doctor, just like any other Rx. Dispensaries are the "pharmacy". At least, that's how it works here in CO. Of course, that's also going the way of the dinosaur due to recreational now being legal.
A quack at the table in front who works for the pot seller is not a “real, live doctor”
That's not how it works here in CO. I did state that I was speaking to how it works here in CO. May be different in Cali, and I can see the frustration, but Cali's policies are not the across the board norm in most cases.
>>As per price, the oil needs a lot of dope for extraction and it costs thousands.<<
Pull your head out of your ass. It costs less than $50 per ounce and the dosage is a few drops.
It works great.
Stoner: I can’t sleep.
Doc: Why not?
Stoner: I can’t sleep if I’m not stoned.
Doc: Ok, here ya go.
Funny but not an exaggeration.
Have you ever tried it for insomnia?
I don’t know why you play along with the ruse.
You are either quite naive or disingenuous.
I think the latter.
I think CO and WA are much more intellectually honest in simply legalizing dope as opposed to the scam Trojan horse legalization of “medical marijuana.”
I referenced what I’m talking about in 33.
You should stop getting stoned.
What is the THC content of the $50 per oz oil?
Didn’t answer my question. The truth? When it comes to this issue, it’s just really no one’s business. If someone grows it in their backyard, and uses it in their living room, it’s not my business, it’s not your business, and it’s not government’s business, period. There’s your “ruse”.
You're probably closer to being right with this statement, however, there ARE INDEED medicinal properties. "Medical" marijuana is not a scam. There are legitimate medical uses for it, and if you don't see that at this point, with the research and experiences out there, then you never will, mostly because you look at the entire issue from a false premise in the first place.
Your question was irrelevant and specious.
And answered all ready in this conversation.
I try to be straightforward and sincere.
From you, we only get smarminess and disingenuousness.
You are a liar in terms of how this works, deliberately lying.
This post has your deliberate lies as well.
Why do you feel the need to overtly lie about this topic?
You are still addicted to marijuana. It affects your thought process, makes you susceptible to liberal and leftist propaganda.
It hurts you and it hurts — has hurt — society and the nation.
