More than 20% of the states have now legalized medicinal marijuana therapy by popular demand , do I smell a trend ?

Good, its aboout time we get out of the way of people who are suffereing needlessly.

I don't smell a trend, but I do detect a familiar odor from my youth in the air![8D]

On a serious note, if it is for legitimate medical purposes I am all for it. How ever I feel Ca. has taken it to far when a Doctor can prescribe it for anxiety![:@]

NOthing will change until the Fed laws change.


Cant over ride state.

Denver is a catch 22. Im curious to see where the latest pending trial will lead.

Marijuana is quite effective for relieving anxiety , just ask any pot head . Have you ever seen one worried about anything ?

The feds have little intention(if any) of chasing down and prosecuting medicinal users , so why not just decriminalize and regulate that particular aspect of it ? There are already a very few licensed users in this country for medical reasons , you can't get Marinolâ„¢ without a federally issued permit , so why not the rest of those suffering needlessly ?

Duuuuuude- Pass the nachos man. HA HA HA HA HA HA

Smoking is a cause of cancer. I would imagine smoking pot is no different, key word here is imagine. With that being said it would not make any senseIMO to legalize it for medical reasons when you counteract it with a negitive medical possability.

Perhaps more liberalized access to Marinolâ„¢ is the better answer then ? Both are heavily controlled substances that have the same active ingredient , the only difference other than trace chemicals would be that you can't patent weed .

BTW , smoking is far from the only way to consume cannibis to get the desired effect . It can also be eaten(brownies) , drunk(tinctures) , snorted(gotta be dsparate for that one LOL) , and inhaled via a fume producing device that heats it to the flash point of the essential oils without producing tar laden smoke .

Don't know anything about that drug,never heard of it,is it smoked? Does it line the lungs and infest them with cancer? If yes then I feel the same way about it also.
