Legalize medical marijuana?
    #14155080 - 03/20/11 05:50 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Just out of curiosity, do you believe that marijuana should be legalized for medical purposes?

15 of the 50 U.S states, including, New Jersey, Colorado, Alaska and California have already said yes to the legalization of medical marijuana. Its uses are incredible – from treating cancer to depression the limitations of medical pot is endless. Should the country just give in to the bill?
Should Medical Marijuana be legalized?

I think we're well on our way. :thumbup:

I'm confident that I will watch the legalization of marijuana for personal use in my lifetime (err.. or this generation will watch it if I happen to die before I'm 70!)

weed doesn't treat cancer LOL.
personally I don't think there are THAT many medical uses for marijuana, but that just makes it one step closer to full on legalization so yes, I am in favor.

I bet some drug dealers in here would like it to stay illegal for a while though. :hehehe:

no, your right. [Re: Eminence]
    #14155177 - 03/20/11 06:06 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Your right, weed doesnt treat cancer, but it helps to aide and relive the paitent. My father has cancer, and after his treatments he is in and out of the hospital for 2 weeks for IV's because he has no desire to eat or drink anything, marijuana helps to build an appetite. It is also a relaxer, which means that it takes a lot of the pain away too.

Weed has never really helped me with pain unless it's something real mild like a headache or something. Opiates are so much better for pain.

drug dealers [Re: Eminence]

One thing the drug dealers always can remember, is that MEDICAL marijuana means for medical use only, which also means that not just everyone can buy it. They still have their jobs for a little while longer.

maybe it has different effects on you [Re: Eminence]
    #14155210 - 03/20/11 06:12 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

When Im in a lot of pain, it doesn't so much, take the pain away, it just relaxes me and helps to take the edge off of the pain, but your right - opiates are much better for pain, thats what they are for right?

Weed doesn't CURE cancer. True.

Weed-- most definitely-- does treat cancer.
"Treat" meaning "deal with in a certain way."
It cuts tumor growth in half.

I know I was talking about legalization in general. But yeah of course opiates are for pain. Just saying it'd be nice if there was such thing as marijuana that did just as good of a job as opiates with pain relief.

Source?
it can help treat some of the symptoms after undergoing chemo like the no appetite, nausea and vomiting...but idk about that tumor claim.

edit: nvm i see the tumor article, and they've proven it help in rats with a type of lung cancer. That is hardly "treatment" as far as I'm concerned.

There are other studies as well.

But inhibiting tumor growth in rats is not your idea of "treatment" of the cancer? What is?

holy shit, im the only one who voted "Yes, only for medicinal purposes"??

come on, if it was in personal use do you realize how many stupid fucks would soon put it to an end? A lot of stupid fucks - very quickly.

Plus, there will be a huge wave of idiotic new smokers that will catch on and start chaos. I say either medicinal or decriminalize it.

if neither....bud will always be around man

I really don't think THAT many new people would start smoking weed. If coke was legal I wouldn't go out and do coke...
I feel like the people who were going to smoke in the first place are going to smoke regardless of weed's legal status.
That's why the war on drugs is FAIL because only criminals are in charge of the drugs...

I agree, I have never heard anyone say "Man, I wish that shit was legal, I'd totally do it". only thing I ever remember hearing was "yo, can I get a nickle bag?". Marijuana does not really cause effects that could cause harm to humanity either, it's not like LSD, Coke, Crack, Acid... it wont kill you,it wont make you want to punch someone in the face, it doesn't make you paranoid... or hear voices, so a "huge wave of new idiotic smokers that will catch on and start chaos" is most unlikely.

Even if herb was legal, like anything else there would be limitations, like you cant carry more then so much on you at one time... you cant grow your own plants without a special permit, you have to be 18 years of age or older to buy it...

but if you stop to consider it,
when you 16, you are allowed to get behind the wheel of a 1500+lb vehicle and drive on a road with hundreds of drivers.... [it could kill you]

When you are 18 years old, you are allowed to buy a pack of cigarettes, which cause lung cancer, COPD, and birth defects [all of which, could kill you]

When you turn 21, you can go into a bar and drink until either you run out of money, or they kick you out... [alcohol could kill you]

& yet, the safest drug in the world [opinion] is grown in the ground, was banned during the war because it made people nice... its 100% natural and you are not allowed to walk into a store and say "hey, can i get a 1/2 ounce of that white rhino?" it kind of crazy when you stop and think about it.

Weed can cause paranoia, childbirth defects, and make hear voices at higher doses I'm sure, if you eat enough. It can get pretty trippy at the right dose.

Ps~Acid and LSD are the same lol.

maybe you wouldn't, maybe none of us would... but what about the next generation who grows up with less of a coke scare than we do? we've already proven that more people think alcohol and tobacco is safer than most drugs just because of their legality... now that being said i completely agree that most drugs should be legal, including coke, not because i think they're safe... but because honestly i'd rather see a few people lose their girlfriends and suffer a heart attack or overdose than the mass amount of violence that goes on in the underground trade. some of the pictures i've seen of the mexican cartels are just disturbing. I couldn't even visit with my family in Colombia for 15 years of my life because it wasn't safe just to fly over there. plus nobody's free will should be limited by the government and economically we waste so much money arresting people for ripping bongs with their friends on a friday night. i think free choice to use and the RIGHT education on drugs is what we need to help people understand moderation and safe dosing and usage of all substances.

anyways... done ranting... as for the subject of this... NO! legalize it for recreational purposes :stoned: those who think they hurt a tendon in their pinky can use all the substances they want to cure that
