What the f@#$@#?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The govt. only covers 10%/20% of their alc/tobacco costs from taxes? So that means that it's sold PURELY to put money in the hands of big tobacco/alcohol--politicians get votes/$/etc. from the companies, I guess, but I always thought the US somehow benefited too. Wow.
Want to watch The Hemp and Cannabis show each week? It is viewable on Ustream.com just look for "cannabis Common Sense" every friday evening at 10PM EST. Or look them up on you tube if you want to browse through their more than 500 episodes.
I hate to be conceeded but after watching these i have realized that all these people reporting on cannabis are really fucking dumb, and i am really smart, anyone else feel this way?
VAPORIZER: it takes any health concerns about pot and throws them out the window. I don't understand why marijuana advocates don't stress this fact enough.
marinol is not nearly as effective as marijuana. there are many other active ingredients in marijuana, including different strains that have varying amounts of these ingredients. The federal government knows it works, they still provide 4 patients with medicinal marijuana to this day, FEDERALLY. talk about hypocrisy.
if smoking cannabis is so bad for people and the government denies that it has any medical value, then why would they be creating man made, synthetic THC? has anyone even read the side effects of Marinol before? they include dry mouth, increased appetite, drowsiness, etc. sounds to me like you get stoned even when you take the synthetic drug the government makes. what is the real difference here?
less addictive & less harmful than non medical stimulants eg. coffee ... golly gee whiz sounds like could be dangerous Bob. We need to study it another 100 years. Mean time lets fine users, lock them up, confiscate their property, ruin their records, job & family life. Yeah that sounds reasonable America Land of the Free thing to do... I think its a good thing that cannabis makes one nonviolent. The number of users as attested via the arrest rate. I think we'd have another civil war otherwise
we need a massive movement between citizens of Mexico, Canada, and the USA to push for the legalization of marijuana in north america not just here in the USA take the money from the murderous drug cartels to protect all people in our hemisphere
They always give these damn side effects for weed (depression and other bull shit lies) but yet all of the DEA approved DRUGS (things thaT are chemically altered by humans) have side effect which are read quickly at the end of the commercials (headaches, death and blah blah blah) why not bring that up in the debate to much of anything is bad for you legalize Weed, there is no such thing as to much!!
The fact that they don't acknowledge in these stories is so many people smoke pot already that their wouldn't be a drastic increase in costs related to marijuana use. Why doesn't anyone ever bring that up? It would be hard for me to think of someone who hasn't smoked weed at some point in their life, this is one of the most ridiculous hypocrisies in the history of mankind. Its ok to take government approved drugs and drink alcohol but don't you dare smoke weed. Land of the free.
Its pretty funny that people would rather make a pill form, which you can overdose on, instead of the real thing. the government owns the drug companies.
you know, he's talking about the developing brain... maybe i wouldn't have smoked so much pot if it would have been legal, i could get pot all day by just making a phone call because it was illegal, but getting alcohol was impossible because i needed an id that said i was 21.
ya that's a huge point... when i was 16 i had the hardest time getting alcohol but i could easily get marijuana. because there was no black market on alcohol.
Hah, "Pot is a gateway drug." Hell no, me and everyone I know have never touched harder drugs and smoke pot all day. The only reason it could be considered a gateway drug is because it's illegal and so common. So some drug head convinces his friend to try some weed because it's so common, the friend likes it so is more influential to his other illegal drugs. Legalizing it will make weed as gatewayish as alcohol or cigarettes.
It's a GATEWAY drug because people consume it and realize that the goverment lied about marijuana and probably lie about other drugs - so they try them. Legalizing marijuana would SOLVE the gateway drug theory
The GATEWAY for patients with cancer, MS, HIV, Hepatitis C etc. without permission to therapy their illness oder side-effects of other medications is DEATH.
I would like to see a further comment from you, is you were in the position of these patients.
Sorry for my bad english. This message is sent from Germany to you to let you learn a little bit about human rights, which are equal for sick and for healthy people.
Another reason is that most people have to buy pot from dealers, who want to make money and will often push heavier, and more expensive, drugs. Again, another problem that would be solved by legalization.
I am a born Oregonian and back Mr. Standford up with what he is doing.
When your paying $150 for 9 pills one has to do something to prolong the pills. Marijuana I found is a great way to make my medication last longer for when and if I really need it. All my doctors know I am a legal user, I add mmj to my health care, and it works!!
It isn't addictive. Now coffee, that is addictive. I drink it once in a while to stay awake on long drives and I find myself craving it for days afterwards. Marijuana is harmless, I am a successful college graduate (cum laude) who never got into coke or heroine or meth. I have seen more lives ruined by people being jailed for it than from smoking it. It is just a plant.
I watched my cousin not be able to function every day on a physical level without his 2-3 cups of coffee. He would get the shakes and chills without it. That was enough to scare me away from it for the most part. I should add that I had a frappacino so I am not sure if there is a difference there. ;) I don't think I am prone to addiction...I quit smoking cold turkey and drink alcohol in moderation....hmm but I do have a snacky cake problem, so maybe you are right! :D
