I know, I know. If it weren't for the freaks on the left and right controlling me, there wouldn't be any children left! I'm that much of a mess. Bless the controllers. Don't worry. Now that we have taken away all the toy guns/sticks shaped like toy guns/ and even DRAWINGS of toy guns away, not to mention banned the dangerous activity known as snowball fights, we can concentrate on wrapping the children up in bubble wrap.

For over 40 years, the Feds have poured tens of millions of dollars into research to prove the deleterious effects of marijuana, and came up empty. Thus, government scientists invented the 'Gateway' hypothesis, which is almost Hegelian in its 'constructive' metaphysics.
Now, REAL scientists discover that the demon weed actually has all sorts of possible uses, to almost no informed person's surprise.
Read 'The Emperor's New Clothes', and understand everything you need to know about the relationship between the State and the Intellectuals.

I understand your specific argument..and agree with it.
But, Marinol is given fairly often to patients that for other reasons...( too many to list..) have appetite suppression.
FWIW--

I believe its use also pisses off some sight asses no end. You know...I've read what you wrote 7 times, and I still don't know what you said.

It doesn't make sense to me that the people who are so against the legalization of marijuana don't have the same problems with alcohol.
I watched my father-in-law die a horrible death from cirrhosis and won't be surprised if the same fate awaits my own father. They both destroyed their families because they couldn't put the bottle down. Fortunately, neither of them killed anyone while driving drunk, but that was pure luck.
Alcohol kills people and destroys their loved ones lives, yet it's still legal and I think it should remain that way. I don't think everyone should be denied the pleasure of a drink or two because some people can't control themselves. And I feel the same way about marijuana.

Your statement is anecdotal only...and has no basis in factual evidence.

Heroin was legally PRESCRIBED for years, and was apparently very useful for intractable pain. Marijuana compounds were also at one time, widely prescribed by legit docs. If something works, (or doctors at the time think it does) it shouldn't be kept out of the Pharmacopeia. Lots of things always in there that later are replaced by something better, turn out to be not so good, or just plain go out of fashion.
That's a lot different than allowing street use. Cocaine for example, is a very valuable legitimate drug, as well as being a hot seller on every street corner in the country. Oxycontin is an underground street drug, but it is also validly prescribed everyday.
Also, these natural compounds are incredibly complex, and the lab geeks can refine literally hundreds of useful (or not) compounds from them.

You raise a good point. This would keep Michael Moore occupied for years. And with the munchies, he'd be too fat to leave the house.

Should be required Civics text +/- 8th. grade. Might help return the Liberty and Freedom to this country.....if it isn't too late already.

Pot does not impare your driving... Maybe not, but it does make you misspell simple words like "impair".

Anyone with half a brain knows they shouldn't be behind the wheel after they've consumed enough alcohol that it impairs their ability to think.
