Just sayin'...

I don't think the "liking brownies" part will be a problem!

TexaninVA, You seem to be quite an expert on marijuana, I wish my wife was still around to tell you her story. I truly hope you never have an occasion to eat your words.

Legalize it now. It is out there and being used, why not tax it and put the money to some good use?

Let's see, we spend millions on stop smoaking projects run by the states. Now the states want to sell pot for smoaking! Did I miss something?

Interesting subject. In R.I. medicinal use has been approved. Marijuana decriminalized. I personally know someone who grew (no profit) and provided for glaucoma and MS patients, legally, who would swear to the benefits. The proof of this has been studied, recorded and recognized by scientific studies of many who suffer with chronic pain and illnesses. The newest study is that marijuana actually changes the structure of cancer cells, making them unable to mutate and grow further. I LOVE SCIENCE!

Thanks for your reply. Now I have to wonder why so many people are promoting the legalization of marijuana if people are already being helped medically by the above drugs in pill form.

Uh ..try to remember TOTV guidelines ... no personal attacks etc.

TexaninVA, I apologize if you took my comments as a personal attack they weren't meant to be. Watching my wife go through 6 chemo's a stem cell transplant and many uncomfortable procedures, medical marijuana was a god send. she never got nauseous, was able to keep her weight up, was mostly able to sleep and pretty much was able to keep a good attitude with no ill effects. Not like when she was on all of the medically approved pain pills and anti anxiety pills that turned her into a zombie and made her feel worse than the chemo. I guess i'm a little touchy when people with no experience assume medical benefits are a phony way to get high. No personal attack intended.

Benj, I didn't see your comment as a personal attack. I've been through chemo and can empathize with what your wife went through. My brother went through much pain in his fight with bone cancer. My sister-in-law told me there were times, driving him to his treatments, that she wished she had the nerve to steer the car off a cliff and end both their suffering. I don't think he had the benefit of medical marijuana.

Thank God there was something that brought your wife some relief. People need to be in that situation personally to realize what exactly happens.

My prayers for peace are with you.

cfrance, thanks. Suzy had bone marrow cancer, the treatments sometimes seemed inhumane to me I know how your sister in law felt.

My mother said some things are unimaginable. Some things are worse than death.

My heart aches for you.

You can't pass around a pill in a roach clip
