All drug dealers should be shot.
Does that include pharmacists, or only the unlicensed ones?
Fact is, drug abuse will happen whether the drug in question is regulated or not.

Where did you get your medical degree?Its a false argument. Marijuana isn't "keeping her alive" and there are plenty of other legal drugs that will do the same job.
Am I the only one that finds it ridiculous that the government is saying it has the authority to regulate a black market that it has no control over in the first place

It'd be a hoot. We'd all load up our arsenals into the back of our Dodge Omnis, pop in a Phish CD and head for DC at 5mph with the occasional delay while waiting for the stop sign to turn green. Once we get there we'll realize that we forgot to bring the ammo and head over to Taco Bell.If everybody gets wasted and figures out the reasoning and methods being used to control them, there will be a revolution.

I assume you have one to make such a definitive medical judgment.
My father-in-law and brother-in-law are both MDs and they both attest to the benefits of medical marijuana. In fact I have never know a single non-political affiliated doctor who denies it's benefits.
And for your information, most every test conducted on cancer patients and cronic pain sufferers showed better results with less damage to the user with marijuana than with other drugs. Marijuana is very effective as a pain reliever and appetite stimulant with negligible negative effects on the user.
Then when you factor in that marijuana can do it for a much smaller cost.
That is where the real problem comes in to play. It is very hard for big business to make money off of a drug people can grow safely in their own homes.
Unless you can convince enough americans to change the law via their representatives
I'm not sure that second sentence is completely accurate. Opinion Polls say otherwise. (Yes, that was the best source I could find... Google is failing to find any better results. Ignore it if you want.)Pot is illegal. A majority of americans want it that way.
Glad to hear you admit to not being trained in the medical profession because that statement reveals a complete misunderstanding of how medicine works.I'm not a MD nor do I need to be. There isn't anything in pot that will sustain anyone's life. The most it does is numb one's pain, and there are plenty of available drugs that do this. I never said pot had no use, what I said was that there are other legal available drugs that medically will accomplish the same task
Wrong again, most polls I have seen favor medical marijuana 2 -1 and sometimes up to 3-1.Pot is illegal. A majority of Americans want it that way.
One, you are completely wrong that all marijuana does is relieve pain. It is also a powerful appetite stimulant. Not eating is one of the premier factors in shortening of life when it comes to cancer and chronic pain sufferers. My partner is a hospice nurse and sees this every day. It also improves mood as well as removing pain and when facing a serious illness mental health and a positive outlook are very relevant to longevity.
And two, marijuana often performs better than other drugs in tests. It works better than combinations of pain killers and mood stabilizers. It helps promote appetite better than regular narcotics. Then you add the fact that it does it for WAY LESS MONEY. A lot of seriously ill people are living on very fixed incomes.
I am not sure how you are missing this but...NO, THEY DO NOT DO THE SAME THING. Maybe bold type will help you see my point.And yet this is all still strikingly irrelevant. The fact remains that there are many LEGAL drugs that will do the same things medically that pot does

Marijuana has proven to be more effective, less harmful, and cost less.
Therefore, other drugs are often less effective, more harmful if taken long term, and cost a whole lot more.
How is that doing the same thing?????????????
Hey looky, I'm a neandertal now.
1. Why? It's already beneficial in plant form where it works as a fast acting inhalant.
2. There are numerous cannabinoids and other chemicals in marijuana than have their own effects, some of them working better in conjunction with the rest.
So far the only synthetic version is only an extract of THC and doesn't have all the beneficial qualities of this plant that has been used for thousands of years. Why should people have to wait for a new, expensive drug to hit the market when a very safe and very effective one already exists that won't drain the pocketbook?
Stage>> we're all aware of the fact it's currently illegal. The bigger issue and reason for serious question is WHY? Do a little reaching into that side of things and you might see some inconsistencies in the logic behind it all.
