So I guess all those not in bed, racked with pain, are liars? Medicating their pain to do normal things like play golf is overdoing it eh?

and Marijuana isn't addictive?

Nope.

But of course since Montel wasn't in a wheelchair from MS symptoms he has no need of medicine?

I've already passed the word to my immediate family. If I am EVER diagnoised with cancer one of the 1st things to be purchased and *special brownies* will become a regular part of my diet. I don't smoke the stuff...for some reason I get too high and pass out if I do. And it's illegal to have. However, I could always eat the special brownies and plan to if needed.

Medicinal purposes aside. I've always thought pot should be legalized and taxed like booze and smokes. The $$$ that would be saved via law enforcement and the smaller prison population would be astronomical. The tax revenue it would bring in from direct sales and related businesses would be huge as well.

Just my 2 cents:)

Actually, it's not physically addictive. You can develop a psychological dependence on it, but you can develop a psychological dependence on M&Ms! The drugs mentioned (oxycontin and vicodin) are physically addictive.
I experimented with it in my youth, haven't touched the stuff in over 20 years, but if it were legal, I'd use it occassionally.

[Huck]

I knew a guy who cut a hole in the waistband of his pants, concealed pot inside the waistband, sewed it shut, put on a belt and flew to England. I'd be too scared of sniffing dogs hiding behind doors or something.

[A CA Guy]

Many times before, yes!

[slimer]

Apparently Montel has not seen this.

Ahh, the good old days. When they spelled it with an "H" and soundly ignored the dissent of the AMA representative when he didn't go along with the program. But there's no "pill" involved. Even the stupid poster lies.
