That can be the only possible explanation.
Because the medical marijuana system of distrubution to "patients" is completely failsafe against any sort of abuse so that only people with a real medical need for the stuff can obtain it. How can the BATFE not see that?
Pot is a federally proscribed drug, so possession and use negates the right to own a firearm. Simple and well known, and predictable to anyone who has ever thought about the realities of sucking pot behind a "prescription."
“Rowan Wilson, a Carson City-area woman who works as a medical technician in residential care homes, believes pot might be useful for her painful menstrual cramps”
This is ridiculous. Is she going to go to work stoned every 28 days?
Did the FDA approve marijuana for any specific medical treatment?
Does anyone have any idea what pharmacuetical companies go through to get a drug approved? After it is approved there are increadible regulations that are strictly enforced during the production process all the way to market.
Any drug produced that was produced in a facility that violated a number of these regulations must be pulled from the market. There are billion dollar lawsuits going on everyday because of missing documents validating processes.
Still, Joe Blow can go and grow. All the community and the doctors know. Write a script, charge a buck, Jow Blow is a wealthy fellow.
How many doctors invest in Joe Blows business I wonder?
There was a thread earlier that stated that over 30% of all U.S. Citizens become arrested at some point by the time they reach the age of 21 (It may have been 18). Over 1% of our population is in prison at any given moment, and per capitz, we have more than 5x the prison population of any other nation on the planet. Besides per capita, we have the largest NUMERICAL prison population on the planet.
The police state is in full swing. I by no means endorse drug use, but I’m going to point out that all of this criminalizing of all behavior is the round about way of gun control. Too many apathetic morons or ignorant touchy feely types thought it was a brilliant idea to hop on the “felons-have-no-rights” bandwagon. Unfortunately they failed to see that it was merely the “first they came for the felons, but I was not a felon” strategy. The average American commits THREE Federal felonies, PER DAY, completely unaware. A felony used to mean that the most heinous of crimes was committed, now it’s merely a money making racket. Everyone who is an adult is an unprosecuted felon, everyone.
Until everyone fights so that EVERYONE gets ALL of their God given rights, including felons not currently incarcerated/serving a sentence, no one will have them. They’ll continue to be erroded, mark my words.
(P.S. I’m not a felon, before anyone asks)
I"m sure. I believe Pot might be useful to relieve my depression when the Browns lose another close game. Happens about as regularly as Rowan's menstrual cramps. If this bimbo can get high when she's pms-ing why can't I get high because I'm in a bad mood?
The medicinal devices sold for inhalation of the medicine were decorated with evil laughing clowns wearing jester hats and Oakland Raiders memorabilia. For straight bustin' ya wig up, yo.
Last time before that I ever went into a clinic, it was years earlier for physical therapy after a hospital stay and the place smelled like disinfecting alcohol and had 10 month old 'Highlights' and 'People' magazines in the lobby.
Boy, clinics sure have changed!
Should they be able to drive and operate heavy machinery while “taking pot” too?
I forget, where do my rights start?
Sounds like a great reason to end the whole “medical marijuana” falacy. Two problems solved.
Hmmm, so people actually trying to follow the rules—instead of ignoring them—get screwed. Great way to build respect for the law!
Does this rule apply to any prescription drugs? After all, I’m sure that if I asked I would be told that this is a “safety” issue. And many prescription drugs impair their user in some way.
Not that I trust the word of the FDA any more than I do any other federal agency—on any subject. Supporters of RTKBA would be wise to approach this kind of rule with caution; anti-gun nutjobs are not above using federal agencies for their own agenda (look at what they’ve done with CDC in the past).
guess he never heard of Midol midol or .357, Midol or .357, MIDOL or .357!!! chose...
What other drugs would this apply to? Xanax, Prozac, Ritalin? Any of a hundred other mood altering drugs?
In fact, all of them that I know think those who support such interpretation of the law are their mortal enemies.
0bama and Democrats in general are far too socialist and Tyrannical, this being apparent long before the 2008 election occurred.
Any so-called libertarian who would vote for such a blatant authoritarian collectivist is no libertarian at all...
Shouting at your spouse can get your 2A rights wiped out.
Same if you ever get any psychological counseling. They’re using that one with a lot of ex-military.
I hate stoners. I hater more the batf.
There's no way in hell a rational, sane, small (l) libertarian could vote for Obama. From the very first time Obama's name hit the national consciousness, anyone with half a brain in his skull could peg him as a statist, and statism flies in the face of small (l) libertarianism.
