No, that's not all right.
You missed the FACT that the chemical pills/drugs have side effects. There are NO side effects with smoking pot (no unwanted side effects).
And to group the medical movement to a bunch of hippies is just short sighted. It's obvious, you do not know any one that has cancer and had to do lengthy cemo. Those are the ones asking for medical pot - not the hippees.

No UNWANTED side effects? which of the following is WANTED? Marijuana side effects can be as seemingly innocent as an increased appetite to as life threatening as lung cancer. Increased likelihood for accidents is also one of the marijuana side effects. Studies show that 6 to 11 percent of fatal accidents are contributed to by marijuana side effects. Other external marijuana side effects include legal problems, work and financial problems and troubles at home. Marijuana side effects from an overdose include toxic psychosis including hallucinations, delusions and a loss of self-identification.

Incorrect, like most people my life has been touched by cancer. My mother died of cancer, so have my mother in law and several extended family members. I know the grief and have seen the sorry and pain that it can bring to people.

Your reasoning is just as twisted and ridiculas as your comparing pot to murder. Comparing a responsible adult wanting to exercise a right to use marijuana for medical purposes to a mental maniac committing murder??
You nullify your own argument by virtue of itself.

Please read again the person that I was quoting. He based his justificatin of legalizing marijuana because he enjoys it. That is what I was arguing against by using the analogy of legalizing murder because someone might enjoy it. That's a outlandish proposal and JUST as outlandish as proposing legalizing marijuana.

Where did Atreides say that pot made Dahmer do what he did?
Seems your recreational activities are affecting your reading comprehension skills.

The commonality was "enjoyment". That by our reasoning we "couldn't try Dahmer for muder because he enjoyed it". Okay... I get it. Only YOU and ATREIDES have literary license and the right to be ABSURD. Excuse the heck out of me and the rest of us.

Give us some more absurdity... and then ping on us for illustrating absurdity by being absurd. It's really balooning the number of postings and ,aking it easier for others to find this forum. Thanks for your assistance.

Ok, calling all naysayers. Instead of "it's addicting, it's addicting" and rambling about side effects that don't exist or it being compared to the off base of murder...
Look at the human condition. When we hurt or someone we care about hurts, we want it to stop. No ands, ifs or buts about it. If something as mild as MJ helps, what the heck is the problem? I seriously do not understand why you folks on the opposite side of the majority think the way you do. It makes zero sense to me.
Instead of statistics & BS that doesn't float, how about a REAL conversation at Denny's? Let me tell you my story in person. You will see,(1) I'm not a whacked idiot due to the crocked out notion of fried brain cells,(2) There is GOOD reason for a yes vote,(3) hopefully an enlightenment towards the human condition. That is what matters!
How about it? Who will stand up to the plate?

You already know I would. It seems clear that Sand Worm 1 and Mr. Wiggly likely would too. I bet Momamarie would benefit from it. She has a touching story about her son.

OMG - The 1920's called... they want their copy of "Reefer Madness" back... lol.

I knew alot of stoners in high school and college... and not one of them has had hallucinations from pot. I've never heard a news study. I've never heard mention of it in college. I've never heard such a thing in the thousands of AA meetings I've been in. I've never read it in the recovery literature I have read... only 5 books, but how many have you read?

I've also know 2 scizophrenics... and they never touched the stuff.

Nice to know that Atreides and Say What have someone else in their camp. BTW - that is NOT a compliment.

Nice way to twist my words around.
1. Abused it willingly as a teen.
2. Tried it again... stressed out and racing mind... to relax.
3. Have arthritis now... and it eased my pain. I was suprised.
4. Used it for a month or so... now I don't... I didn't get addicted... or become a Dahmer.

In posts 68,233, and 347 you admit those things as I stated them in my own post. I have in no way twisted your words. I am simply pointing out that while you initially said you benefited from the pain relief of marijuana, NOW comes a mention of relief from a racing mind.

Well... I did write the poll and get this forum started... and encouraging people to become informed and vote. My friends are aware of this, and hopefully will tell their friends... and so forth. Other than that, I haven't the resources to reach the general public.
Are you getting out the vote?

I sure hope I am. Next thing is going door to door. Why call folks & get hung up on when I can go out in the purdy sunlight with the birds and floating butterflies & buzzing bees and ramble on with strangers? You all get my drift...
