It will become legal, let's hope it happens before too many more die using other means for relief.

I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing, but I do believe that it's inevitable that MJ will become legal. I think it will happen slowly, state by state. Of course it will be bitterly opposed. But eventually it will happen.

Golfingnut: People press for legalization for marijuana based too often on a need medicinal need. take for instance in Florida were some people claim an extract from marijuana (cannabidiol or CBD) is an effective treatment for a rare disease Dravet syndrome. Yet Elson So president of the American Epilepsy Society states there is no scientific data on its effectiveness and safety of CBD. How many people become junkies using legal prescription drugs. The medicinal angle is a red herring to bypass the legitimate objections of people considered with the affect legalization will have on society. These political canard about rights and freedoms are driving this country morally bankrupt and hence we continue to repeat the mistakes of Rome but if you are one bent on taking a toke...its all good man..beside I don't inhale

It is so sad so many are in favor of making marijuana legal without doing any true homework on the subject. Without truly understanding the impact on the youth, (e.g. 2 famous Dr's pointed out that between 60-70% of patients in Rehab started on marijuana and a majority of these as youths.) They also pointed out the brain damage it does to the youths when they use it. I would stress the need to do homework, study the drug and really understand it's dangers. Both Dr's are head of their fields in major hospitals, (e.g. Directors of the Units, etc.) A more profound question is that with the added usage of drugs, has/is the overall IQ in the US gone down? I would submit it must as there are more and more users. This would include Marijuana, Alcholol, Coke, Herion, Crack, etc. etc. Kind of scary..

You shouldn't drive under medication, under alcohol, or high.

You want to talk about impaired drivers, our biggest danger here is the elderly who shouldn't be behind the wheel.

Don't drive while IMPAIRED......don't even putt!

Guess the answer is to eat "enhanced" brownies. Cuts out any question of lung damage.

My lifelong friend, who now lives in Colorado, tells me that more and more users of THP are consuming "edibles". This is especially the way for our generation who don't want to bother smoking or vaporizing.
Today, you can get a lozenge or gummy with the exact milligrams of THP you want without smoking.
imo ... just the tip of the iceberg, as this trend will "grow" exponentially in years ahead.

A little pot between friends can't be all bad! It never hurt my lungs and my back pain is lessened when I do smoke.
I can only speak for myself but I look forward to legalizing this organic product. My liver will never go sour either. I don't drink a drop.

[DonH57]

The last three doctors I've had have all told me the same answer when I posed the question about possibility of medical use of marijuana. The answer was " for fear of possibility of loss of license I have no opinion on the subject". Quite frankly they are all right. No medical official will ever stick their neck out in support of research. Puff puff pass or not.

Yea that is what they said about that organic product called tobacco until they began in the early 1960's to warn of lung, throat lip cancers, Yet despite clear evidence people continue to smoke and are paying the ultimate price and a small fortunate every time they buy a pack. And bypassing smoking/vaporizing to food means now people will have just more munchies and more obesity but these folks won't be in a frame of mind to care. so I wonder how may of the little fellows and girls are going to get their hands wrapped around that heavenly brownie .
But heck we always have some folks that over react about everything. They ought to light up lay back and soothe out its all good man

Enhanced brownies? Aren't they ALL enhanced?

The Florida Supreme Court ruled today that the initiative to allow medical marijuana will be on the ballot in November 2014. This will give all voters the opportunity to express their opinions.

I don't smoke wine, beer, processed foods, beef or any other foods. What goes in your lungs is handled differently than what goes in your stomach. Your liver is capable of filtering out impurities. With marijuana you have the smoke itself and whatever impurities go along with it. Not good, in my opinion.
