Dr. Lester Grinspoon After Testifying at MA State House on Marijuana Legalization

[Itsmeeman1]

Before Prohibition, almost all medicines in the USA were made with Cannabis resin as the main constituent! FACT!

Cannabis Cures Cancer! FACT!

Politicians LIE! FACT!

Weed is used by many, and this fuels the jobs for the DEA, and the DEA now say MARIJUANA is so HARMFUL. So, it's all a money making scheme by the government...it's complete bullshit. We need to stand up and fight for our rights to do what we want recreational or medically. We are humans and we should have the right to CHOOSE what we want to put in our bodies.

After two years of doctor-and-patient testimony, the D.E.A.s chief administrative law judge, Francis L. Young, ruled that 'marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substance known to man'. - Nick Jones

The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world. - Carl Sagan

Dr. Lester Grinspoon is so smart if only some of the people making laws were as informed and inteligent as him the world wold be a much better place. imo

There was a drug that blocked the THC receptor to help suppress appetite. It was available in Europe but was pulled off the market because its patients had a high rate of suicide.

If you block THC receptors, people get sad. If you stimulate THC receptors, people get happy.

I graduated with a degree in Safety and Health management with a 3.4 GPA, I am currently an Associate Safety Professional through the Board of Certified Safety Professionals. I recently read the book Marijuana is Safer so why are we Driving People to Drink. It changed my outlook on this. Not only does the LD50 show that a human would have to ingest 1500 pounds in 14 minutes, but studies also show that impairment after a night of smoking is less than after a night of drinking.

[thefakeyeti]

I smoke marijuana because a lot of times thats the only way I can stand to excersize!

For some reason it is simply easier for me to do sit ups, push ups, leg lifts ETC..

When I am in that mindset..

I am guessing htis falls under enhancement?

[faria157]

I guess so, I mean... it happens the same with me.

I don't know the reason why when I smoke I get more leaned to exercise or to do some kind of sport, especially skateboarding.

[PesiCool]

@thefakeyeti It makes everything much more epic.

[AngryBugger2012]

@thefakeyeti "I smoke marijuana because a lot of times thats the only way I can stand to excersize!"

I would say that that was Medical or Therapeutic rather than Enhancement which is more it's stimulation of the creative centres of the brain.

[FosterBoys]

Great Job, Mike.

[hgeny]

thank you. I read his books. Glad he is giving voice. All his arguments make sense. Yes, it is herbal. Unfortunaley we have dim-wits in government that keep ignoring the obvious, legalize cannabis, because pharmaceuticals have the power and money to keep hemp illegal. Time to vote the dim wits out.

[SiliconBong]

The prohibition regarding marijauna, is an archaic relic, of a mindset born last century.

". . . enhance certain personel capacities . . ."

An effect that is very well phrased by Mr. Grinspoon : )
