Legalizing medical usage of marijuana

Submitted by rick08_m on Tue, 07/28/2009 - 23:24

How would that reflect in the visions of the young ones when the laws that legalized medical marijuana makes them think a lot about the perception that it is still a "drug"?

Interesting read, I wonder if NY will follow in New Jersey's footsteps as a model for effective medical marijuana policy:

it is not a drug though cause it grows naturally it,s not a man made product like acids and other harmful drugs that harm people and can cause deaths

I just need to smoke at least once a week. I smoke a couple of days in the month during PMS.

I smoke all the time, and actually did better in the field of physics, when I was stoned. I get very creative dish, such as playing the piano (which are also very good), paint, and marijuana really gives me energy. When you smoke, I usually do not want to go to use immediately. Give me some 'anxiety, but I shoot out of the depression, boring drums, feeling angry ... change all of that energy and creativity.

I think that it would make them wonder why it is a medicine...and then, be skeptical.

That is why there is this law and some restrictions to patients that will only possess marijuana on allowable dosage so that it won't exceed and might lead to addiction.

Legalizing would only make it more complicated. I guess it would only misunderstood how drug can be legalized on a manner that you can buy it anywhere and anytime you wanted to.

Legalizing of medical marijuana can’t be such a huge problem for lawmakers. You could only buy marijuana if you have this prescription as prescribed by a licensed physician.

I would disagree with you. cause the person who carries prescription will do business, selling marijuana to their friends and that will take advantage of having this prescripton and its not a good idea.

who cares if you get rid of a little bud to your friends all of my friends have medical cards but i am just saying nobody directly died from smoking a bowl you guys act like it would be a disaster if we let everybody smoke weed I do not think just because you have laws that say you cant do it that it is going to stop anybody from doing what they want to do my biggest question is what did pot smokers ever do to get a bad name from the rest of society everybody I know that smokes pot is a productive part of society they all hold jobs most of them make more money than my friends that dont. I just wish people would stop looking at it as such a bad thing we are not the people stealing your car stereo or breakiung in to your house we are all at home sleeping or at work

I only smoke as needed not even on a weekly basis. I smoke a few days of the month during PMS.

When I was a teen and in college, I smoked alot more. Never got 'addicted' to pot. Please, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

I graduated with HIgh Honors...a Phi Theta Kappa member. And I smoke all the time actually did better in physics when I was high. I would do formulas in reverse while I wa high....made it all soo interesting I would study for hours on end. I get very creative on pot; like to play the piano (which I'm also very good at), paint and actually marijuana gives me energy. When I smoke, I usually want to go exercise right after. Gives me a bit of anxiety, but snaps me out of depression, the dull drums, feeling pissed off...turns all of that into energy and creativity.

So, this country is so messed up...the only reason its not legal is because someone couldn't patent the plant. Now they are so busy trying to figure out how to change public opinion and get their greedy hands on the resulting profits. Its b.s., just like Vietnam. WATCH THE MOVIE, 'WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT U.S. FOREIGN POLICY' - can download it if you're into that...!!! Its all about DRUGS. The government IS the head of the cartel. You'll be ashamed at the USA after watching this movie. I was very shocked. I was ashamed at America. Heck, I think I am ashamed at this country. And, the stupid people who even say pot is addictive obviously never smoked it...either that or they are lacking something upstairs.

Legality is not stoping money because there is still people that will buy it.Companies can ensure quality and pay hefty tax.People that are truly sick would go to the pharmacy with insurance paying for marijuana like the THC pills available now.This takes time because everyone has been told drugs are bad.So is alchol,which is a drug and is sold to people responsible age of 21.Our children are smart enough to figure it out,but there will alaways be the bad apples.The ones selling to our kids,getting into other drugs,just like now when someone gets a kid liquor.The perception reminds me of a judgemental person telling you your going to hell for this or that,there not the judge of this and there actually in the wrong as much or more so by judging you.This is how we were trained and taught to think of marijuana as evil,created by the devil,leading you surely to be jobless,addicted,and may lead you to hard drugs.As a christian I will tell you my belief ,Satan does not have the power to create,don't be accessive with anything,and educate your self to make your own choices.Why I answered this post is due to the Vietnam issue spoke of.Our gov. has and is controling resourses with wealthy of this world.Look at Afganstan and the poppy.The slick part is that you don't see herion death and junkies,because all the pharmacy drugs are slipping this opium legally into mainsteam.90% of all opium is in Afganistan,and where is the pharmacy companies getting there ingredients?We are controled to a certain extent,and we take orders from some evil people.Ashamed doesn't even come close to how I feel,and at one time I thought of moving because I didn't even want to be grouped with Americas sins.Problem is that they police the world and there is not any getting away from there influence.I know,I am just a nut probably insane or somthing
