Medical Marijuana Rant

When I said deaths, I was not really talking specifically about GMO's, more so Cigarette's, alcohol, and FDA approved medication. Sorry for the confusion.

Then tighten your shot group and be specific. Got it?

Well I'm talking about human deaths due to ingesting GMO products. Not making seeds doesn't lead to death of any humans.

I understand and agree with your first sentence. As for your second sentence, yes it most certainly does when the corporate seeds are the only ones available and the third world farmer cannot afford the seeds for the next year.

Right gotcha, we are talking about different things. I am referencing GMO in the first world.
 
I think anything you put in your lungs other than air is bad for you. That doesn't mean I oppose another person's use of it. I didn't like the feel of this amendment, the atmosphere surrounding it, John Morgan's law partner running for Governor, and I don't think this was explained well enough. What impact would it have on the state economy, who's going to grow it, how is it going to be marketed, who gets licensed to sell it, who gets a prescription, what about Federal law enforcement? What about all those currently serving sentences for marijuana convictions? I think marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol and I too think legalization and regulation might be a good way to combat the illegal drug trade...but I couldn't abide by what I saw and heard. Since it won the vote-count but not the percentage needed to pass I expect it'll be on the ballot again and hopefully by then the public will have a better idea of its potential impact.

Yeah I'd like to see a study linking GMO's to any deaths, let alone more than weed. Weed has the potential to be abused and I am sure it has been involved in more than one DUI death.

Ingestible THC and other cannabinols are toxic, and there have been documented cases of overdoses from ingested 'pot'.

Link 2
Link 3
Link 4
the last link is much more science than the others....

... There has not been a single, reported death to my knowledge, just from consuming marijuana....

Even that bastion of pot culture, high times, reports that there are reported cases of death from marijuana overdose.... here ... are you sure you are doing your research?

I'm done... I don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee, I don't take no trips on LSD...We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street;
We like livin' right, and bein' free. (thank you Merle Haggard)

If you want to use pot, go for it... It's not for me, but I do drink and (to the horror of others here) still smoke cigarettes...

That was a satire article, and apparently the site founder said so as well: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/story-claiming-37-died-weed-overdose-hoax-article-1.1566588

Yeah none of those links say that overdosing on weed is deadly
 
Florida Measure Fails
A ballot measure in Florida that would permit the use of medical marijuana has failed to reach the 60 percent mark required for constitutional amendments in the state. Current projections show 58 percent in approval, with 42 percent against.

Oregon OKs Legalization
With nearly 65 percent of the vote tallied, Oregon is projected to have approved Measure 91 legalizing recreational use of pot, with nearly 54 percent in favor and 46 percent against.

Alaska Votes To Legalize:
With 97 percent of precincts reporting, Alaskans have voted to legalize marijuana by a 52 percent to 48 percent margin.

DC Votes To Legalize
Voters in Washington, D.C., have approved the legal use of marijuana for recreational purposes. Supporters of the D.C. marijuana measure had a 65-29.5 percent lead as of 9:09 p.m. ET, with 20,727 voting in favor.

So now next time something prosperous comes out of DC and you say "What? Are you fucking high?" You know the answer...

Medical marijauna was on the ballot here in Florida. I voted NO against legalization. Why? Because I just don't buy that this effort was in any way inspired by legitimate health concerns. Tell me the truth and you may get my vote. You want to smoke pot without the fear of getting arrested for possession and you want to be able to buy it the same way people buy booze. I have no problem with that. Instead you've got to cloak it in this mantle of medical respectability to make it palatable to the average voter.

So you have no problem with the legalization of weed but voted no out of spite for the people using a medical argument? Are you fucking retarded?

so youve essentially helped deny patients from alternative medicine(speaking on behalf of them now) because you felt the promotors tried to pull one over on you? Even though you admitted to knowing it should be legal in the first place?

As a FL resident I think I speak for 58% of us when I say "go fuck yourself".....

You need to chill the fuck out. If you want to debate the facts, fine. But keep your emotional bullshit out of it. You're an Unverified member of the site talking to a combat veteran. Dollars to doughnuts says you wouldn't be nearly so mouthy with this guy in person.
 
Much respect to all who serve but thats flat out bullshit to use a vote, that people die for, to spitefully deny a person a right.

3 day vacation check yourself
 
The emotion comes from the frustration in knowing almost every "no" vote was placed on a "well i dont like it" basis. To be able to see someone who voted no and at the same time verify my "they only voted no because of non issue" was a lot to see at once...... sorry for the disrespect...but dude wtf
