medical marihuana is a joke
Submitted on July 30th, 2010 by Dennes LongoriaNot to be mean, but the majority of these so-called sick people aren't really sick... when you're sick, you get a prescription that lasts maybe 2 months and at the end you feel better and you stop taking your medicine, but these folks never get better? and they can just keep on taking their medicine for life? something isn't right here... I'm not buying it that they're sick forever and just need pot forever and they never get better... And I'm not talking about the odd cancer patient who may need it legitimately... We all know what we're referring to here... People with headaches... People with no appetite... People that can't sleep... Maybe if they didn't eat huge meals late at night that might help them sleep... What other sicknesses are we talking about here... Let's call it what it is: a farce and a scam... I'm glad the feds busted them and hope they keep busting them...
contradictory laws are a joke...
Submitted on August 6th, 2010 by Greg Taylor (not verified)I don't think that this has anything to do with the legitimacy of medical marijuana patients, does it? It's about the authorities allowing a suvillian to pay money for a license, begin growing and then raiding the operation and conviscating everything (crop, money, tools and other equpment)...
I must say that perhaps tour idea of cannabis curing people really is wrong. Maybe you should think of it more as therapy/temporary relief.
Why is it that you want the feds to bust the growers? Is it to punish them for their midnight munching ways? Is it because you think that this tactic can actually erradicate cannabis consumption alltogether? Or is it bacause you oppose citizens attempting to go through the correct channels and procedures to service people who would otherwise give their money to illegal drug dealers?
I'm sorry, but your arguement doesn't seem to quite add up, perhaps you need to book yourself in for some of that 'therapy'...
Response to the Ignorance of Dennes Longoria
Submitted on August 23rd, 2010 by Pat Taylor (not verified)You've never known a truly sick person then...
How about when you have a 36degree curve in your spine coupled with two blown out discs and arthritus in your spine, do you beleive you are so smart to think that other people don't take pharmaceutical drugs for the rest of their life just to alleviate pain?
You are plain and simple an idiot which is largely informed by a small sector of society which chooses to still disseminate felder carb such as Reefer Madness!
Do you or anyone in your family take pharmaceutical drugs?
Do they have high blood pressure?
Do they have diabetes?
Do they have restless leg syndrome?
You see the common thread here you fool, the takers of these and many more pharmaceutical drugs will be taking them for life and they do absolutely nothing to heal anyone that takes them!
You see my ignorant friend- the medical profession is a farce to begin with a doctor is after all only in a practice, so he or she has yet to master their field of self proclamined expertise and never will.
Next you see my ignorant friend is the fact that doctors pay for their homes and toys with the money we are all forced to pay them to perscribe drugs to us.
