“Medical marijuana” is just cover to push recreational use into acceptability.
MM is any oxymoron.
horsepoop. MJ is toxic crap. There are other things you take to relieve pain.
Prohibition was cover for paper fiber over hemp and racist views about users.
Ignorant nonsense - the lethal dose of THC is 240 joints.
There are other things you take to relieve pain.
Those other things are, in fact, toxic.
And criminalizing recreational drugs is nothing but a way for the government to use its iron fist to take away your freedoms.
KEEP THE FREAKING GOVERNMENT OUT!
Has recreational use of hydrocodone been pushed into acceptability by its accepted medical uses?
Here in CA, MM is a total joke and a fraud. Check out the dispensaries. You have a sore leg. They give it to you.
Meanwhile try lighting up a regular cigarette, they call the SWAT team out on you. Total BS if you ask me.
It seems to have been in Colorado.
Still not a joke in other states, nor to those in CA with genuine medical need.
It seems to have been in Colorado.
Recreational use of hydrocodone is accepted in Colorado? Evidence?
And all of them more toxic than marijuana.
That said, my youthful experience did not note any pain relief qualities.
But I do know a bunch of Vets who use it for PTSD and get very good results...if for no other reason than keeping them off the bottle.
That’s the fraud. It is not genuine medical need. It is fraud and abuse here in CA. Many of the pot dispensaries here have become criminal hotbeds.
My view on the whole MM issue is its legalization is an incremental step to recreational legalization. I will also say that the vast majority of MM users are just potheads.
However, for many it is helpful. BTW I tried it in the 60’s, but never developed a fondness for it. My mother, however used it in teas, brownies, etc. (never smoked it) for her cancer and chemo treatment issues. It did wonders for her and made things bearable.
On the HBO series Entourage they made California medical marijuana into a running joke and a scam where potheads were easily able to buy their sacred “herb” at dispensaries with a doctors note from a pro-marijuana MD.
“horsepoop. MJ is toxic crap. There are other things you take to relieve pain.”
Well I beg to differ. My wife, who is 73, suffers from back pain (she has had one surgery and may have to have two more), and she is alegic to opioids. She has never smoked her entire life, but she has gotten some relief from her pain using marijuana. So unless you’re a doctor with some evidence to the contrary, your comment is the “horsepoop” here. Sometimes there are not “other things” to relieve pain, and in point of fact, “pain management” is one of the medical travesties of our time. The fact is, the medical profession has not done a decent job of understanding and successfully treating pain.
Some of it isn't and some of it is - the latter is not fraud.
