DAvid not everyone shares the same belief system as you.I have a problem with you speaking as if the bible and God are factual things when in truth, when that isn't true. There is no evidence that God is real. You have faith God is real.
I do support research. I use to be a Christian until I began my research and I can not believe I ever bought into this. SO many people blindly adopt their parents beliefs and why not, the Christian religion is superior of all..right?
LOLOLOL.

I dont care that you have a problem with my belief, and i am sorry that you lost faith in God. I believe what I do and at the same time I don't go around acting better than you or anyone else. I will say that i believe that the God i believe in is the real one. We will find out in the end who is wrong or correct, but until then my bet is on the Lord Jesus Christ.

I'd like to see the government outlaw alcohol for several years just like prohibition and see how the drinkers and alcoholics like it...

Alcohol is so much worse as far as fatalities, health problems, domestic violence etc.

How great would it be to run to the store to buy some kick-ass bud at a great price with no hassles?

Well, I wouldn't want to see that happen because that would be big gov't and rights taken away but I would like to see marijuana legalized and it will be in a matter of time.

I choose NOT to smoke marijuana for personal reasons. At one time, I used it quite regularly. It has been about 27 years since last use and I do not miss it at all. I have heard the THC content is even stronger than it had been when it was a popular recreational drug in college.

So as someone who has been on both sides of the fence as a user and a by-choice non user I must say this. It is not addictive and it is certainly much safer than the "legal drug" of alcohol -- BY FAR. There is no impairment whatsoever; in fact, one might even be a BETTER driver due to the heightened sensory capacity.

And I don't buy the gateway argument either.

I am in favor of legalizing it according the already established drinking age in each state. Law enforcement has far more bigger fish to fry than this harmless intoxicant.

How did this medical marijuana discussion become a religious discussion? Maybe because you 'christians' feel the need to push your religion on everyone...hence, the crusades. Don't smoke pot, read the bible. Yes, because the bible will cure my physical pain. Though shall not kill, yet murdering abortion doctors is ok.
Dont give me your bible babble...it's ridiculous, hypocritical and offensive and certainly not on topic.

Your assuming, while trying to validate your argument, that everybody accepts the Bible as the final truth. That is so typical of all close minded religious zealots..trying to prove a point by quoting a fable.

Yeah the day I see unicorns, goblins, trolls or some other fictional characters i.e. Jesus (if Jesus did exist he certainly looked like a middle eastern, dark skinned mad with dark hair, not some northern European) and a legit miracle, like world peace etc. maybe then I will believe in the bible. Altho I doubt it. In the meantime med. pot and all pot and hemp should be 100% legal with provisions for 21 or 18+ and DUI pot of course to keep the public safe.

No driving at all is in the current HB 1393 bill. I do agree with that.

[Steve]

There is no such thing as Medical Marijuana and no research supports the cause. It is still the same thing most of those old Politicians smoked in the 60's and 70's who they kidding. For the record Obama, Federal Law supercedes State Law and therfore Possession of marijuana is still illegal in every State. Wake up.

[Mark the Great]

Sure there is tons of research open your eyes and look around. Before 1934 you could buy it at pharmacies. The fed is a little behind but they will catch up soon. The American Medical Assn. on Tuesday urged the federal government to reconsider its classification of marijuana as a dangerous drug with no accepted medical use.

If this is true than no one should be able to use any prescription drugs and drive. I'd much rather someone smoke a little pot and drive than someone using heavy opaite base painkillers and driving.

Pot Smokers are Jokers. Smoke and go killing people and seeing purple elephants everywhere. Get real. I get high reading the Bible.

I have been a mary jane smoker since I was 15 and Buddy I don't know what your smoking but I have never in 35 years seen purple elephants you got pot confused with LSD fool Nothing about mary jane made me want to kill or anything negative unless you consider munchies and a good nap negative. Grow up people this drug needs to be legalized. Would you rather have a bunch of oxycotin,etc pill popping dope heads driving around. I think more folks ought to go smoke a bowl and relax a bit. Oh and for argument sake I also have read the bible and would never say I got high reading your insane placing GOD in the kind of conversation. IT IS A NATURAL HERB. I have never gotten high and become nonfunctional you people amaze me.

Pot has been used medicinally for the last 5000 years. It's only been since the 1930's that it was demonized and made illegal. Queen Victory was prescribed a tincture of it for her menstrual cramps and it worked very well for her. Despite the fact that modern researchers ( in the USA ) haven't been able to procure Pot to do studies on it's medical value, there is a plethora of documented research coming from Europe to support it's medicinal properties. As clinical research into the therapeutic value of cannabinoids has proliferated – there are now more than 17,000 published papers in the scientific literature analyzing marijuana and its constituents — so too has investigators' understanding of cannabis' remarkable capability to combat disease. Whereas researchers in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s primarily assessed cannabis' ability to temporarily alleviate various disease symptoms — such as the nausea associated with cancer chemotherapy — scientists today are exploring the potential role of cannabinoids to modify disease.
Of particular interest, scientists are investigating cannabinoids' capacity to moderate autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease, as well as their role in the treatment of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (a.k.a. Lou Gehrig's disease.)
The real problem here are mental idiots like you Steve, who are either brainwashed by all the negative hype or are just incapable of doing simple research on any subject by yourself and simply regurgitate only what you want to believe. Go back and stick your head in the sand because you will never believe in or understand anything you don't want to.
Here is just one link to some of the current research being done on this subject. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18777572 There are many more.
Steve, if you'd like, I could post some more since it's obviously beyond your own capabilities to do so.

<quoted text>Thank you and I will keep you in my prayers. It's a shame, I consider myself a non-judgemental Christian. The bible has a set of rules that have no room for interpretation, but much of the bible is. This is the reason why we have denominations and many Christians get all rapped up in thinking they are better than others. I don't think pot is a bad thing, it has great medicinal values but like i stated before, we are controlled by govt. I would rather smoke pot for medical reasons than take meds that will hurt my organs through their toxicity. Don't worry, Christ's return will be here soon. The devil is running wild trying to turn as many people from God as he can. This is the reason why we have such a moral anemic society. The bible predicted all these things. Did you know that in December Obama with leaders from almost every other country in the world are going to sign the copenhagen treaty under the pretence of the environemnt. This treaty is actually going to set up one world government and transfer wealth from rich countries to poor ones. The end is near sister, rejoice that soon you will be walking down the streets of gold with no pain.

Ah........"the end is near." I take this back. Yo're way out there. I try to see that people have the right to their own opinion, but you are ..........ANNOYING........Good riddens......Bah-bye!

I don't know if you were responding to my post or the one I was responding to - but my post is saracastic. I'm hardly a closed-minded religious zealot. I'm not religious at all.
