4 thoughts on “Medicinal Marijuana”

  1. The mindless and anti-scientific antipathy to this is one of the great crimes of the federal government.

    Was, not is, though I suppose it might be again when the GOP retakes the White House.

    You can thank Barack Obama and Eric Holder for the fact that, for the moment, we have a federal government that does not stand in the way of state-by-state medical marijuana legalization.

  2. I expect we’ll see a lot of hemp-heads now add claims to be “autistic” as another excuse for their dope-smoking.

    Funny how so-called “medical marijuana” is one area the statists who otherwise want to micromanage our lives aren’t calling for FDA intervention and regulation. Probably because that would reveal it for the scam it is.

  3. I don’t agree with you, Raoul. I’ve seen video of people with Cystic Fibrosis who have nearly no motor control over their bodies and instantly show significant improvement after using Marijuana to treat their symptoms. One moment they can barely walk and talk and then the next moment they can calmly sit there and carry on a conversation after a couple of hits of marijuana. The effect is far greater than any currently approved FDA pharmaceuticals that treat CF’s symptoms.

    Now, I agree that the FDA won’t approve smoking a plant as a treatment. However, THC vaporizes at a lower temperature than nearly all the other compounds found in the plant. This means it is fairly easy to heat up the drug to the point where just the THC is mobilized and yet leaves behind all the other carcinogens and tar producing compounds. Then, of course there are pot cookies, brownies, and candy bars that can be eaten.

  4. The difference amongst amateur consumption and medical use of marijuana begs to be recognized. Even though I think that a responsible adult ought to have the right to use marijuana recreationally, I do think, without doubt, permitting an ill person use of a plant with a long history of medical value ought to be accepted and legal. Marijuana has a enormous potential as a medication and more awareness and tolerance is needed. In Summary, legalize it!
