Too many people , like yourself, are so caught up in being anti-drug that you fail to read or comprehend others' posts.

If you will read my ENTIRE message, I said, and still say, that ABUSE is the problem. Using too much of, or using anything when unneeded is the problem. Especially, excessive use of force by authorities.

I am not sure that "pot smoking" is a cure for back pain, although it has been reported helpful with the nausea caused by the legal POISONS used to treat cancers. Would you like to bet on my reception if I were to propose massicely dosing you with a deadly chemical or radiation on the theory that it will almost kill you but will kill your disease ? Yet put MD by my name and many will act as though infallibility has been conferred.

Lastly, I note the thundering silence regarding the idea of expanding the many mandatory drug tests to our "masters"; for such they must be in order to be exempt from the very rules and laws they deamnd we observe.

Nonsense. You pulled out the canard that the Bible somehow permits/recommends use of marijuana by using wine as a surrogate. That is what I addressed.

As I have been saying ad infinitum, the people who want the government to lay off medical pot want to let people use it for recreation in violation of federal and state law. If they didn't, they would insist on safeguards to make sure it wasn't abused.
