I'm thinking you would find more Ron Paul campaign signs and other related paul propaganda at the dope store.

Attorney General Holder Admits Obama Misled On Medical Marijuana

As many of you have heard by now, Jimmy Kimmel called Obama out on marijuana at the 2012 White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night. Kimmel asked, “What is with the marijuana crackdown? Seriously, what is the concern? We will deplete the nation’s Funyun supply? Pot smokers vote too. Sometimes a week after the election, but they vote.”

Misled? Mistaken?
Article did not say anything about Holder calling Obama out. Anyhow, perhaps something will happen should Obama win the election. I think if it were taken of the Schedule I list, no state could do anything to prohibit medical use under prescription.

I support medical marijuana. Personally I'd never use it even if I had a need to. What I don't support is every Tom, ****** and Harry concocting some bs health problems to get it prescribed. I'm a pretty straight shooter...never hot into any real trouble growing up, never stole, or done anything to end up in cuffs. Matter of fact, I work for the Federal Bureau of Prisons and I have to behave myself. My sister on the other hand is a real piece of work. Was and is always in trouble and has that "I'm entitled" attitude that so many of societies finest have developed. She lives in CO. Last year she calls to tell me she is now on medical marijuana. While I was not surprised I still asked why. Appearantly you get get medical marijuana for menstral cramps. Youve got to be Fuqn kidding me I said. But they are real bad!!! Whatever...click.

There are MANY "conditions" medical MJ can help. I'ts not just for cancer and AIDS patients. Now, I don't have
menstral cramps but I can tell you this; Ive had gastro issues since I was a kid. Just recently diagnosed with
severe IBS among a couple other GI problems. Medical MJ helps me. plain and simple.

MMJ can also be used for chronic pain and nerve damage. Ask me how I know.

what is comical is the amount of people "playing" the system to get their reefer. You should have to show MRI's
or various other tests to get that stuff.

It's funny the feeling some have about MMJ. Those same people go out and bring home a pint of vodka or rum
and THAT's ok.........

I think the biggest problem is the fraud... I live in pain and would love to smoke but I don't think my job would give me a pass on the random drug tests.. beer is legal so I drink my share of those.. (after work or course)...
the thing that caught my eye in thei article was post #2...

Gateway Drug My Azz... that is just an excuse used by those ignorant of the legit use of cannabis and how it is medically proven to help with numerous conditions and is in fact more health for you than the majority of the legal drugs and prescription drugs on the market...

I for one would love to make use of it, (would be better than the Narco Therapy I am currently on) but I do not like the getting high aspect of it... Fortunately there is an entrepreneur out there that is looking for a way to either make a strain with little to no THC in it but high in CBD's (the actual medical viable chemicals in cannabis, or make a medication that only consists of the CBD's)

Wheel, would you deny Cannabis to those it would help? Despite what the Feds say, there are medical uses for Cannabis... the Feds need to get with the present and out of the 'refer madness" propaganda days...

It is safer than Prescription Meds (not one recorded death due to OD EVER in recorded history) it is safer than Booze and Nicotine... Hell, it is safer than Aspirin...

It is too bad that my Doc is too chicken chit to recommend it... afraid of liability issues, and the cost can be prohibitive, since it is not covered by any medical insurance...

I don't think I would've dropped acid if I hadn't at least smoked pot first... not saying that pot led me or anyone else to hold up a pharmacy for Dilaudid or Morphine or any other crimes... no different than the first sip of beer... 😟

+1 as to my personal health issues and MJ.

I often wonder what effect 9-10 Klonopin, Phenergan and Neurontin, all highly sedating, have done to me over the last 10+ years and will continue to do to me for the rest of my life. I would wonder the same about MJ, but... don't have that as a legal option and therefore cannot use it to really measure how much use would help compared to all the pills. That is just f'd up royally!`````

.5mg x tid for me.

Long-term opiates can suck royal, but that's the best modern medicine can do for pain control that can't be otherwise stopped.

Does the Robaxin really do anything at all v. real muscle relaxants? Never worked for me.
