Marijuana / Cannabis / Medicine

Im all for judging folks for injuries from pot if we also judge people for being high on caffeine.computerrs .sugar .stupidity.water.sex.anger.religion.politics.
Or we can forgive and move on.

Bingo.

[ArMaP]

Usually the older generation has a problem with getting high on pot but dont have a problem getting high on caffeine.

I don't know if I am part of that "older generation" (I'm less than two months away from being 51) but I have a problem with people being "high" on whatever, caffeine included.

No, I just hate lies, specially when people lie to themselves, either by hiding from the truth in a drunken stupor or by trying to create a "more interesting" truth by doing things that make them high on adrenaline.

How about transferring to the new thread everything from post #11 on , please 

[robomont]

Yes armap.i too hate lies.

Does it count when someone smoking pot kills other people because they are too high to pay attention?

Just asking [smile]

Rarely happens, it turns out.  For every one that does happen, maybe 500,000 happen for alcohol, and maybe 100,000 happen from too little sleep, I would wager.

[Amaterasu]

However most people supporting this cause only care because they want to smoke it to get high (I did say most )

This was proven when Colorado opened doors to sales. The millions of dollars taken in was not from those seeking medical benefits, but those wanting to get high 

Heh.  "Just wanting to get high" = wanting to treat stress.  What's wrong with that?  The "just wanting to get high" is a propaganda line.

What skin off YOUR nose is it what Others do if they are not creating harm?

Im glad most of the best rock n roll musisians had no problems (using)  it



in another side of the coin....



oh... its the same side again

No matter what people say about marijuana... The only problem the gov had about it was that it was not a taxed drug. You know, as it is a plant people would inevitably plant it for their own consum.

As for me... Im ok with people doing their stuff IF it does not prejudice somebody else.

PS.. I think Bill Hicks AWESOME. Ahead of his time.

Oh.  As long as it's Your opinion and You would not force Others to comply with Your opinion should You have the chance to do so - all is cool, ArMaP.

EDIT to add:  You DID say You "had a problem" with the choices of Others to treat stress and so on.  Thus My question.  I was trying to find out what problem for YOU They were creating.

If we frown upon people drinking specifically to get drunk, then we frown upon people smoking specifically to get high.  The two cannot be seperated.

Wrong.  People don't drink specifically to get drunk, per se.  They get drunk to treat stress.  It's a poor treatment choice in My view, as treating with cannabis is far better.  Instead of killing neurons with alcohol, One can generate neurons with cannabis.  Instead of blacking out, One can merely see new perspectives.  Instead of depleting B vitamins, One can treat high blood pressure, depression, anorexia, nausea, stress, glaucoma, cancer, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, and more.  So there's a BIG separation.

BUT... I would never tell another They CAN'T choose alcohol, as long as They do not choose harm or behavior that stands a high probability of creating harm.  It's THEIR body, over which They have 100% right to do with as They choose, within the parameters of doing no harm to Others' bodies and property.
