Medical Marijuana Rant

[Totentanz]

@A3nema - if you cannot discuss this in a civil manner then take a walk until you can.

 

[Grunt]

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

Quite frankly, it doesn't matter why he voted the way he did. He can vote for it because he likes it or against it because he doesn't like the color of it...or the smell of it for that matter. Or, just because he wants to. That is what makes us America. If the majority wants it passed...then pass it. Other than that, he is no more wrong for voting the way he wanted than you are for condemning him for doing it.

My best friend's dad was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, went through all kinds of chemo bullshit, and smoked a LOT of weed. He is now cancer-free and living his life like he never has before.

I'll vote yes on this until the day it is legal everywhere. I also subscribe to the notion that marijuana is a better drug than alcohol. For pretty much every reason imaginable. It should be legalized, without a doubt.

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.

You need to check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Like it or not, people can, and do, use their vote however they want all day long. They have done so since....about 1783 in this country unless my memory's shot. For you to call "bullshit" makes you no better than the person you're calling "bullshit" on. Why?

That's how a representative democracy works. People vote. Good, bad, or other....people vote however they want. THAT is the right people die for, not the right to make good choices or right chocies or Liberal choices or Conservative choices, but CHOICES. Not one person has fought or died in over 200 years for your right to make a "good" vote, but for your right TO vote.

So if someone wants to cast a vote out of spite...or a vote because they don't like a person's hair...or because they believe their immortal soul will burn in hell if they don't...or because the morning's tea leaves said to check that block....THAT'S HOW SHIT WORKS IN THIS COUNTRY. The only wasted vote is the one not made.

Don't presume to lecture us on the concept of our rights and their cost.

3 day vacation check yourself

PB, you're getting soft.

"Go fuck yourself" is just not a proper response. To anyone, much less a vet. From a "light designer", no less. For exercising his right to vote.

BTW, I have only given 3 hates in the past: 1 to Pardus...just because.

I just used 3 on An3ema on this thread for his hate filled drivel.

I was speaking in regards to just consuming marijuana. There has not been a single, reported death to my knowledge, just from consuming marijuana.

I also never specifically stated that GMO's directly caused deaths. Thinking back, I probably said GMO's prematurely, although there have been lots of testing done with animal that have shown organ damage, gastrointestinal and immune system disorders, accelerated aging, infertility, etc. And human studies have shown how genetically modified foods can leave material behind inside us, possibly causing long-term problems. But you're technically right.. For now haha.

You should hit some of the Colorado newspapers. IIRC MJ Chocolate has killed a few kids.
I am busy for a few days, but I'l see if I can post the links.

No, marijuana itself didn't kill anyone. People too high killed themselves or others. There is literally no case of someone dying from a MJ overdose. In one of the studies posted it said you would need 20-40,000 times the dose to get high to die from an overdose. The drug is self limiting.

That was always my understanding.

I'm assuming having "chocolate" in the name means it's laced with opium. Pure weeds not gonna kill you but the shit it's laced with, will.

I've seen some great success among other Veterans using medical marijuana and synthetic derivatives for anything feom chronic pain to PTSD symptoms. Works great on numerous sleep related issues, ie. night terrors, night sweats, nightmares, etc.

Any legalization should be done strictly for medical use, recreational use is just a disaster waiting to happen and we need to look at the failure of alcohol. Booze is poorly managed.

 

[Gunz]

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".....

rant over

Maybe my original post didn't make a whole lot of sense, TLDR20 already jumped in my shit about it and I deserved it for a stream-of-consciousness post that came off as insensitive and contradictory. Again, my apologies for that. But I'd gladly take shit from him anyday than from some self-appointed pot-guru spokesperson for the ill and suffering masses from whom I've apparently denied the miracle cure.

From now on I'll restrict my thread-starter to topics that might make some small contribution to the SS community and keep my loose talk and opinions away from the keyboard.

It's your choice of course, but there's no need for you to do that.
This is a relevant topic, and one we've discussed here many times in the past.

na na na fuck that dude

You talk about what the fuck you want, el pendeho de chipotle can go fuck himself softly in the corner with a telephone pole auger.

Having discussions is the way you find out things you might not have known before. Far as I saw, ain't nobody jumping down your neck.

I don't care about pot, maybe I'm spiteful but THC and THC lovers are 0 and 2, so I guess I'm the genetic freak. Also, In before The Troll starts rabbling about my genetics.

So whos this assclow........ what the fuck.



So I haven’t been on here in a while(or so I thought) and decided to jump on tonight. Surprisingly to a ton of alerts and a PM, to which I have yet to read. All I had to do was look at my hates to have my head tilting sideways to the point of break… Are you kidding me?


To Ocoka I offer my deepest apologies and hope maybe this can help to clean up the garbage that I had previously written. After looking at the date I realized this was the day me and my friends went out on the boat for a birthday. The drink of choice was 1800 and I haven’t drank since I started training. Around 2 oclock I remember being at a tiki bar and then it was black. I got up the next day and went to work not even realizing what the fuck I had done.


I don’t expect to be forgiven because I don’t believe being drunk is a valid reason. Nor do I believe something like that should be forgiven. I chose to get wasted and managed to get on this site. I am in shock at the way I handled this topic, with it being something I always have success finding common ground with the opposition. Making it even worse is to who I directed this stupidity towards, before making it even dumber with

Much respect to all who serve but thats flat out bullshit to use a vote, that people die for

....this was just one big boot through ass into mouth situation that I can’t even begin to try and justify. All I can do is offer my sincerest apologies to Ocoka, along with everyone on this board who serves. This was shameful to read and 10 fold to know I wrote it....

Post....

I have to admit, I didn't expect the above to occur. Good on you for that...as for putting yourself in that position, not so much.

Here's the deal: you aren't the first to come on here under the influence, myself included, and I doubt you'll be the last. You also aren't the first to post something "less than intelligent" while under the influence. You did about the only right thing in this situation, but that doesn't wipe the slate clean. I and a few others have a solid memory and you've just used 2 strikes/ 8 lives in one post. This isn't a threat or Internet Tough Guy thing, just letting you know the score and where you stand. Where you go from here is on you, not us. I will give you some credit for not using the "My brobro used my logged in account to post..." defense, but be aware that you just burned through most/ all of your credit on this site. Others have recovered and remained; one or two might even see this post. Like I said, where you go from here is on you.

Does medical marijuana have to be smoked? Can it be taken in pill form?

Does medical marijuana have to be smoked? Can it be taken in pill form?

Marijuana can be converted to an oil so I guess that it could be taken as a pill. I've heard those vapor e-cigarettes can also be used with marijuana oil.

 

[TLDR20]

Does medical marijuana have to be smoked? Can it be taken in pill form?

Yes, they also use other cannnaboid drugs in the treatment of chemo and AIDS related wasting.

 

[DA SWO]

Yes, they also use other cannnaboid drugs in the treatment of chemo and AIDS related wasting.

So legalizing Medical Marijuana is for smoking only? or are pill-forms illegal also?
i would think legalizing pills would just require the standard FDA process.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I do know that when a family friend was being treated for cancer (in California), she was given a medical marijuana pill as part of her treatment.

Well there are other cannaboids that are used in FDA approved drugs currently. So while pot isn't legal, they use other by products to help with things like wasting naseua and other symptoms of chemo and AIDS. It is just a matter of time before medical marijuana is legal nationally, and soon after I truly believe it will be legal recreationally.
