Sessions big-gov't views on marijuana

[Cancel 2018.2]

I'm smarter than you, you know.

I appreciate the thoughtful response, and agree w/ much of it. Opiates are a real conundrum. It's tempting to say that the addicts mess it up for those who need the pills for pain, but that really diminishes how serious addiction is. I know addicts, and it's really not something most can control at all.

But that really makes the case for medical pot stronger. It's just a no-brainer to me. I'd like to see it legalized beyond that, but to not allow medical is just inexplicable. The things that people turn to as an alternative are much worse, for their health and for society.

I haven't read studies on medicinal herb but there's no end of anecdotal evidence that certain people benefit from it. Chemo patients for example, will say it helps with some of the chemo-symptoms and appetite. I know several people who can't sleep without it. None of them are a threat to the community. They aren't dealers, they don't rob people to support their 'addiction' or whatever.

And you know what? The chemo patients and terminally ill should be able to use medicinal pot---even if it's a placebo effect. I get the idea the vast majority of law enforcement will look the other way before hassling them over it, anyway.

accept my sperm deposit in your mouth. gov gobbler

Awww are you triggered now?

 

[Cancel 2018.2]

that is both legal and socially acceptable regardless of the millions of deaths and injuries it causes every year.

Xcatly.

Fat ass old men sit in DC while drinking their whiskey's and proclaiming that an herb is more harmful than their alcohol.

Idiots, all of them.

DUI's kill thousands every year

Marijuana DUI's kill.................................hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......................hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Anyone who has done criminal law knows that MOST crimes are committed by people who are under the influence of alcohol. The crimes committed by people who are solely on marijuana is not even a statistic.

Trump is a bitch. He ran on making h/c free for all, and marijuana was not his issue, he said it is a state's right issue and then he hires guber furer Sessions.

WTF

Alice in Fuck Land

Do you drink alcohol?

Yes or no?

No

 

[canceled.2021.3]

i bet you consider reefer madness as a documentary for the ages, don't you?

Did your wife try Marinol?

Yes or no?

 

[Cancel 2018.2]

No

Okay, thanks.

Why do you not drink? And why do you not rail against the legality of drinking?

That all sounds great but there are more effective drugs.

I know STY thinks it is a grand conspiracy by the gubmint and BIG PHARMA to fuck over his wife.

He hasn't answered on the Marinol thing though

Any other "medical marijuana" aficionado use Marinol?

Prescription dronabinol has been studied for postoperative and neuropathic pain and was not found to be any better than placebo. For chronic non-cancer pain, it has been found to be only slightly better than placebo. There have been fewer studies of marijuana than cannabinoid pharmaceuticals, perhaps in part due to regulatory restrictions, but marijuana has better results for pain in the few studies that have been done. In all of these studies, smoked marijuana was found to be better than placebo in relieving pain. Another study examined the effects of marijuana that was vaporized (not smoked) and found that it too was better than placebo at relieving neuropathic/nerve pain.

Except the concept of medical marijuana is a scam to let people get high

Cocaine has more medical uses than marijuana.

Medical marijuana is NOT a scam - that's so uninformed.

Even if true, who cares if people just want pot legal? It is one of the dumbest prohibitions we have. As others have stated. alcohol is much more damaging & dangerous, and something that I'm sure Sessions has no issues w/.

You can keep going w/ "but it's the law of the land." I'm sure you feel the same way about some gun control measures and abortion.

Well it is true. Otherwise Marinol would be flying off of Pharmacy shelves. It is not. Remember. SAME ACTIVE INGREDIENT.

Like global warming your ignorance has allowed you to be scammed

As for the last sentence. Find one time where I have advocated the government not following the law on those issues. As much as I despise abortion it is the law. So I would oppose anyone violating the law to alter it. There is a larger issue that I don't allow to be clouded by my personal preferences. I work to have Roe overturned. Two more justices and it happens

But back to Marinol

Oh, bull - you probably support every single restriction that more conservative states have put on abortion. You really are so full of it. And you didn't address gun control.

I'm not an AGW guy.

People can work whatever ways they want to follow & support their individual beliefs. They can work to have laws changed, but it's just as valid to support continuing w/ precedent and a practice of the Feds not meddling w/ conflicting state laws on an issue that has wide popular support.

The only reason you're up in arms about it is because you perceive this as a "lefty" issue. It's what informs you most if not all of the time.

Passing more restrictive laws is not the same as FOLLOWING EXISTING LAW. What is so hard to understand?


I am not up in arms. You started the thread. I agree with following the law.

Not everything I support or oppose is just because it makes lefties sad. Sometimes that is just a bonus

 

[Teflon Don]

In rhis case the law is an ass

Then fucking work to get it changed. Stop your Russian Ruble chasing and focus on something that really matters to you

Sessions is breaking no laws. What you are asking him to do would violate his oath.

What other laws would you be ok with him ignoring?

 

[cancel2 2022]

or I could listen to my wifes doctors who claim that it does have medicinal uses.......hmmm, who to choose?

Marinol is prescribed for chemotherapy induced vomiting and weight loss due to AIDS!

 

[anatta]

gotta use the whole plant. Marinol is synthetic THC -no CBD cannabinoids. \
a friend was on it he didn't get high, he didn't get any pain relief either.
