So the CNN show tells us WHY the medicinal mj movement is fronted by stoners?

Because that's what I said that got everyone hot and bothered.
I said I agree with medical mj. I also voted in my state to make non medical possession a simple $100 fine rather than jail time. I said that I think pot is no big deal if we control it properly.

But I pointed out how the movement is perceived and I'm labeled a hater who needs more television time.

It's a friggin joke how knee jerk the proponents are.

As if they're paranoid for some reason...

Weed makes you paranoid, go figure.

prolly stoned... 😟

Or high on that marijuana.

prolly puffin on the magic dragon.... 😟

Sucking the hootch.

No it actually agrees to an extent, acknowledges it, then moves past that fact to look further. That's the problem, without watching it you really have no idea what it says and can't really speak to it. Thus it is a waste of time to respond to what you assume it says. It's cool you don't want to be informed on the subject of the OP.

Gupta has been a strident opponent of medical marijuana. He was in the very same place regarding this.

Doing a fatty.... 😟

I'd be anti weed too if I was willing to be foreced to shelter in place and frisked while my house is searched anytime there are criminals in the neighborhood

😝

What a cop out.
Disappointing, even for a renowned fence sitter.

Here's a newsflash: It's possible to discuss a topic without watching a specific CNN segment. Unless the topic is the CNN segment itself, this is universally true.

The movement is strife with stoners. CNN address this. Big Whoop.

I have moved beyond the poor perception and have embraced the concept of medicinal mj. Yet I need educating because you say so?

Self righteous blather.

And another thing...





I forget.

The OP was about WEED the CNN special

yes it is possible to discuss MJ without discussing the CNN special (the topic of this thread). But you keep referencing the special and insinuating it either says something it doesn't or that it doesn't address certain things. It's how you argue. It's cool. I get it and think it is amusing. You are all over the place.

And likely stoned.

I'm also not ripping on you for being anti weed or not wanting to be exposed to any information that would make you quesiton your stance

😝

Holy crap.

8-[

I have a wide stance.

prolly caramelizing the flan.... 😟

is that similar to a pittsburgh pancake?

I dunno..... not gonna look it up either... 🤐 🤐

Wanna go get baked? 🇨🇮

How can you discuss the show and the facts offered when you haven't watched it?
Real doctors wearing white smocks or a suit and tie have been advocating medical use for decades. The problem is that ANYONE recommending or using MMJ is perceived as a "stoner" regardless of their appearance.

You say you "moved beyond the poor perception and have embraced the concept of medicinal mj" but continued to make Anslinger-ish type comments, broad characterizations, and statements that are completely wrong and illustrate your lack of acceptance/knowledge of the facts. IMHO the discussion is hysterical as it appears to be an argument purely for an argument.

Here's a couple of quotes from some other self-righteous knee jerk proponents:
"If we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion by education"
"The greatest service that can be rendered to any country is to add a useful plant to its culture."
"If people let government decide which foods they eat and medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny."
~Thomas Jefferson

"Cannabis is remarkably safe. Although not harmless, it is surely less toxic than most of the conventional medicines it could replace if it were legally available. Despite its use by millions of people over thousands of years, cannabis has never caused an overdose death."
~Testimony of Professor Lester Grinspoon, M.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, before the Crime Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., October 1, 1997

"There are no long lasting ill-effects from the acute use of marijuana and no fatalities have ever been recorded ... there seems to be growing agreement within the medical community, at least, that marijuana does not directly cause criminal behaviour, juvenile delinquency, sexual excitement, or addiction."
~Dr J. H. Jaffe, The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. L.Goodman and A Gillman, 3rd edn. 1965

"Users in our matched-pair sample smoked marijuana in addition to as many tobacco cigarettes as did their matched non-using pairs. Yet their small airways were, if anything, a bit healthier than their matches. We must tentatively conclude either that marijuana has no harmful effect on such passages or that it actually offers some slight protection against harmful effects of tobacco smoke"
~Cannabis in Costa Rica: A Study of Chronic marijuana Use; Institute of Human Issues

"Simulated driving scores for subjects experiencing a normal social "high" and the same subjects under control conditions are not significantly different. However, there are significantly more errors for alcohol intoxicated than for control subjects"

"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
