Medical Marijuana Rant

[Ranger Psych]

My biggest complaint about MMJ/MJ in general, is simply the actual lack of overall research that has/can be done with the stuff scheduled as it is.


The stuff was set up for failure due to big names scared of the fiscal impact it could have had on their commerce back in the day (30's-50's) then following on during the 60-70's didn't get any love due to being "socially attached" to counterculture movement type shit... Now it's thriving on

meanwhile, it's obvious that it actually does good stuff and the people that need those effects are forced into relying on local law and hoping that the DEA doesn't get a hair up its ass since the shit's still federally illegal.

I fucking hate potheads. I hate people that spew pot related crap all the damn time. It's fucking annoying as shit (and having grown up in Cali, whoo boy...) but guess what. I hate drunks as well. Alcoholics piss me the fuck off just as much. So, the common denominator is "ABUSE"

then there's a relative of mine who's a astrophysicist with a PhD. Guess what... tokes up. Big deal. It's celebratory, just like having a beer or whatever for him. I don't hold it against him for a second. Nor anyone else that uses the stuff responsibly.

The lack of research is quite ridiculous. I'd like to think that is going to be rectified in the near future.

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





....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....

It takes guts to admit mistakes. I've used up plenty of words in my life apologizing for stupid things I've said and done, and that includes a few I've made on Shadowspear during Happy Hour postings...and I've apologized for my OP on this thread. It ain't no biggie, man. Life's heavy enough without worrying about the small shit, but I appreciate and accept your apology. If you'd gotten stoned instead of drunk, this might not have happened.

Alright, I can't be the only one who cracked up.

Nicely done.

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.

The THC compound is what's regulated, not the delivery method. The oil is more potent (refined) and less taxing on the user.

We had a very close family friend get diagnosed with an extremely aggressive non-treatable neuro/endo cancer last year. It was awful- like, "everything is cool" to "6 months later dead at 30" awful. Very very sad for all involved. She used MMJ (specifically oil) on days where pain/lack of appetite was out of control, and it was the only thing she could use to turn the corner on the pain. It helped with mood and sleep as well, and I personally saw it give her more time with her kids and husband. Prior to the diagnosis she was a devout Morman that didn't drink anything but water and the occasional soda, with a beer in a blue moon (pun intended).

My personal feelings aside (I have zero issue with MJ even as a recreational legal substance) this was a very good example of MJ's medical usefulness. At least for me.
