no wonder mccain has no money!!!!! statements like that kill a campaign!!!!!!!

[MikeCANN]

Other ways? Like the legal stuff that your wife got addicted to Senator McCain?

[thefakeyeti]

I would've loved it if the sheriff would've said he was for it..

That would've made mccain babble incoherently

[beetheb]

Exactly.

No good comes of keeping weed illegal. None.

[beetheb]

What he fails to recognize is that the only difference between the "other ways of relieving pain" and Marijuana is that the "other ways" are legal and Marijuana is not.

Other than that, they are no different. They all result in an altered state of consciousness. As a matter of fact, a lot of legal pain-killers are far worse for you and inebriate you far more than cannabis does.

We need to get over this ignorant stigma against weed in this country. It's outmoded, outdated and wrong.

Well sure there's other ways to handle pain...I mean, you can buy expensive prescriptions, which have an overdose potential, then you gotta get the other pills that counter-act the negative effects of the first set of scripts, then you're pill-popping round the clock just trying to manage pain. Or...you could smoke some weed and feel much better. Less expensive, no major side-effects, no overdose potential...sounds pretty good to me.

Aaaaargh! He's like a broken record with his hemp and rope anecdote.

"McCain's wife, Cindy, is the Hensley in Hensley, the nation's third-largest Anheuser-Busch distributor. Google McCain and beer. The pharmaceutical companies and liquor industry are marijuana's competition."

Why was that marked as spam? I don't see any spam there.

[pavoloco]

That fuck should stop trying to be a comedian and take the people seriously for once.

[annpetasupporter]

You'd think he'd know better seeing as how his wife had a serious problem with an addiction to the narcotics the doctors prescibed her for her pain...

[bryansaccount]

not getting my vote. these sythetics mccains talking which he has called "marinol" IS good for nausea however its not good for anxiety, and for many people it is NOT GOOD FOR NAUSEA.  teh plant is most effect and efficient.
