Marinol is cr*p. Marijuanna is a naturally growing thing, something God made. We give people a lot more dangerous drugs than Marijuanna ALL THE TIME.

I support medical marijuanna without question, and the legalization and taxation of marijuanna with some restrictions.

I am torn on your comments. I believe the government should get out of the WOD business. Its a losing proposition, plus if you want you kill yourself slowly, its your call. Just don't expect somebody to bail your ass out if you make that choice. And if you hurt someone while using then the book should be thrown at you.
As a former user, I can really say nothing good about cheeb. I had a riot when I used, but also did some things that really were not positive. It makes you go broke, makes you underachieve, and the health and mental risks are not to be denied. I find it ironic that many of the same people who are so psychotic about banning tobacco are the same ones pressing for legalization of weed.

And just how do you tax Water Sunshine and Dirt? This is why it is still "Illegal"/UnTaxable.

Blaming God will get you no where. You think God created this weed to mess up minds?

Didn't you read the article? God didn't cultivate the potent stuff available today.

Marijuanna is a naturally growing thing.

Actually, the cannabis plant is a naturally growing thing. But, marijuana requires human intervention.

The male plants must be sacrificed to prevent them from pollinating the female plant. When the female cannabis plant is unable to go to seed, the plant's buds continue to create resins, resulting in marijuana.

ref: your post #3; I agree wholeheartedly. And anything put out by Hazelden must be viewed as them having a vested interest in the "addiction counseling mill/industry" because obviously, dude, they do!

Marinol is cr*p

I pretty much agree with that assessment. In my experience as an oncologist, it is not useful in treating pain, and is minimally useful for nausea. We have about 8 drugs that are more useful than Marinol for nausea, many of which are considerably less expensive. It occasionally will stimulate a patient's appetite, but there are other medicines that do the same.

It has become clear to me with numerous examples that Long-Term (25-35 yrs) marijuanna use leads to "Bi-Polar" mental illness. I have seen the old hippies that hung on to near daily use of marijuanna since the 60's now in a real fix with this condition in about 80% of the cases. Don't casually disregard this phenomena.

This naturally growing ingredient in the marijuanna plant is a mechanism of defense for the plant against insects. THC so disorients the insect that they will starve to death and fail to reproduce. The chemical altering reactions that occur in the insect nervous system, occurs in humans. We may never know the exact nature of the brain chemestry from THC. If the insect is an indicator, it would be wise to use majuianna for its intended purpose: insect control.
