THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA:

1. Medical marijuana is not a drug, it is a natural, non-toxic, healing
herb that is one of the safest and most effective therapeutic substances
known to medicine.

2. You have the inalienable right to possess, grow and distribute cannabis
for medical purposes as upheld by the Bill of Rights, Geneva Convention, UN
Declaration of Human Rights, The Single Convention Treaty, California
Constitution, The Compassionate Use Act and the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals.

3. These medical rights are only as strong as each citizen's willingness to
defend them.

4. Those who defend their medical rights bring honor and meaning to their
lives and hope to countless others.

Thousands of seriously ill Americans have
been able to determine that for themselves,
albeit illegally. Like my own family, these
individuals did not wish to break the law but
they had no choice."

Sure, that's why you mostly see stoners and other losers supporting the
medical use of Marijuana. Their motives are strictly altruistic and have
nothing to do with their lifestyle of illicit drug abuse. The idea of
administering a drug by inhaling smoke is ludicrous. If your movement is
medically motivated why don't you argue for using THC in an IV or tablet
form???

That should be legal too, ..especially for medical purposes. It's hard to
imagine that you would make that legal without decriminalizing the plant also.

Because synthetic THC does not have the same theraputic effects as natural
THC. Just ask anyone who has to use it for medical purposes.Perhaps one day
when you(or your spouse) get cancer or AIDS and cant keep food down to save

cant keep food down, how can you keep a pill down?

Lots of sick people can't keep a pill down. Do hospitals give them
anti-biotic cigarettes? No! They use IV drips. I'm not a doctor and I
doubt you are either. If Marijuana was the wonder medicine AMMA claims, the
medical establishment would be asking for it. That is not happening.
Again, it's not a coincidence that people arguing for the medical use of
Marijuana often support the total legalization of Marijuana.

Awww, come ON now guys. As essentially a libertarian, I of course believe can
use whatever drugs they want.

BUT - there are, thank goodness, relatively FEW people that need MJ to
offset nnausea. But, at the same time, there appears to be a HUGE public
um, er, "interest" in this subject.

It is just part of the effort to totally legalize MJ.

Y'all should cut the crap and admit your true agenda.

find it a pain in the ass to drag around an IV drip with them everywhere
they go.

I don't think you'll find anyone in "the effort" who will deny this. What
makes you think we wouldn't? Pointing out it's medical properties as well as
letting people decide for themselves what they want to put in their own
bodies has always been the rallying cry for those in "the effort".
BTW: I do not fit into your stereotype of person in "the effort". I do not
do drugs. But I do see what the WOD is doing to human rights of all kinds.
And I especially don't like the police state abuses it is breeding at the
hands of the bigots in the WOD. They, and the WOD, is costing U.S. more in
human rights as well as money and worst of all lives than the drugs ever
could. Those behind the WOD are feeding off of others rights, money and
lives and they actually go home and sleep and at night. They are murdering
blood sucking leeches and maggots on our society. So, tell me, how do I fit
into your stereotype druggy?

Sorry, Johnathan, that is a very naive statement. There are many
reasons why you would use MJ instead of an IV. For one thing, the
cost. Another, MJ inhaled is the BEST delivery method and that is a
quote from government, medical studies. Marinol, the synthetic THC
pill does not work for all people, takes time to get into the blood
stream and is difficult to keep. down. Smoking MJ relieves nausea
instantly and usually only after a few inhalations, where as depending
on the amount and severity of the naisea, a pill may not prove enough
once it gets into the blood stream. Juit going to the hospital and
hooking yourself up to an IV can be cost prohibitive and impracticle.
As far as the medical establishment asking for it, do your research
first and you will find many medical associations calling for the
rescheduling of MJ.

Try not to be a typical anti MJ cynic by using the same old statement
about people wanting to legalize it so they can get high. We have a
bigger problem with addiction to LEGAL prescription drugs, so are you
going to say that the only reason i want to get a prescription for
Zoloft is so I can high, instead of trying to treat my acute clinical
depression?

My mother suffers from muscular degeneration due to MS and suffers
from spasms and pain. Her medication causes sever nausea. The other
medication that is used to treat her nausea has a whole other set of
adverse side affects. And lets not talk about the cost of these pills.
She can take two or three puffs from a MJ cigarette and her spasms
decrease and the pain goes away and she is able to then eat, and far
cheaper too, without all the hellish side effects. Does my mother fit
into your NEAT little category of someone who just "wants to toke up"?
Give me a break. She's dying and any release from her pain is far
better than pandering to your insipid and banal prejudices.

My Uncle has a fused vertabrae and must take strong painkillers so he
can make a living. Ever tried to live day to day with chronic back
pain, Johnathan? Its nearly impossible. His pain killer medicine is a
narcotic, tightly controlled and has a whole set of adverse side
affects such as increaded blood pressure, headaches, and impaired
cognitive ability. This is completely legal. He's not grateful the
drug is legal because "he wants get high anytime he wants". he has to
take the pills to support his children.

Pick a better argument next time, pal.

you can't see facial expressions and hear vocal inflections. It makes it

The gum tastes no where near as good as a quality cigar.

I'm a recreational smoker. Average of 3 - 10 cigars a year. An
acceptable risk.

Actually the original question was not directed at me. I was just pointing
out the hypocrisy of the question. In any case I have answered this question
many times. No, I am not a "recreational" drug user.

Aw, the thuderous sound of ignorance and stupidty agains thuders across the net.

No, there are relatively few. The WSJ analyze the total market for anti-naseu
drugs, and it is quite quite small.

Now of course, IF you had ANY idea, you would have posted the dfacts/figures

So, you make a klaim about perhaps large numbers of people that need MJ
for their nasuea.

I point out the FACT that the WSJ shows that people conming prescription
anti-naseau drugs is actually a small number.

I point out your klaims have no factual basis.

Because if it were not illegal, even poor people would be able to get

like those Belledona's that adorn well kept lawn fences all over So.

You're mistaken. The AMA (American Medical Association) has historically
supported medical marijuana. When they found out, just a day or two
before the Marijuana Tax Act that the evil demon weed described in
Anslinger's Gore files and Hearst yellow press was actually just their
tried and true Cannabis by a latin name, they were not happy. Who do you
think did all those studies upon which the Institute of Medicine based
their recent report? A bunch of dead-heads? No silly, professional
medical researchers. But only after jumping through a convoluted series
of bureaucratic flaming hoops and promising the DEA they'd only look for
negative effects.

The medical establishment is asking for it. You're probably mistaking
the pharmacutical and liquor lobby's spin doctors for medical
professionals.

Because Congress, as well as Federal, state, county and local law
enforcement, not to mention the entire judicial system as a whole (see
lawyers), have learned how to live, and feed off of it. Like blood sucking
leeches, It will be very difficult to cut them off of it. The one issue
leads to another, constantly making the connections between the dots,
between all human rights to the ultimate goal of complete people control in
all areas of our lives. Whether it be drugs, guns, speech, property,
privacy, you name it. They, the drug warriors, are connecting the dots at a
frightening rate.

I hear the drums of revolution.

To tell you the truth, it sounds good!

Snicker. Giggle. As an essential libertarian, it is fine by me if people
want to sit around abd blast their mind to smithereens with drugs.

But then, I don't have to like to drolling dicknorts they become.


Listen, bozo, all this crap about "anti-naseau" blah blah is just that, crap.

You hurt your own "movement" to fully legalize MJ by the pretense
y'all are just SOOOO concerned about the miniscule sick that "need"
this stuff.

As shown about, you don't have a clue, and you even admit.

As I pointed out, "anti-naseau" drug prescriptions are a tiny minority
of all prescriptions. And then yuou even admit you haven't
got a clue as the body size of the people allegedly needing MJ for
"anti-naseau" purposes!

Then of course, you go into a total unconnected diatribe to the subject
of these posts, which only furthers my conviction that drug users can't
think straight at all.


Boing! Sproing!

You did not read very carefully, Mark. I said, as an essential
libertarian that I believe that people can sit at home and destroy
their minds with bleach for all I care.

The point is, the medical uses of MJ are very small compared to the
large scale noises by yukyuks like this guy, and that hurts the
current movement to fully legalize MJ.

Y'all got a comprehension problem?

I've already stated that as an essential libertarisn, that I believe they have
the right to destroy their little brains by any means they want.

The point is, the need for medical is very small, yet, somehow, there is a
(relatively) LARGE group ofmpeople pushing for it.

It means that sitters on the fence, seeing the large group of dopers
clamoring for medical MJ, will conclude it's all a front/fraud for
the uselees druggies to getv their goodies.

This hurts the cause for legalization ...

Unfortunately, THC is not water-soluble and cannot be injected. THC is
available in tablet form, Marinol, but apparently it gets the patient very high
and is ineffective against nausea (the patient throws it back up).

The medical establishment is the UK is asking for it. Check out the BMA
(British Medical Association).

One of the administration methods being worked on is with a vapouriser. Not
quite cigarettes, but not that much different.

having 500 NAMBLA members show upt to "help" him.

Snicker. Snicker. Very bad slow learner.

Strange, how maybe a few thousand people actually medically needing
MJ have apparently a few million "supporters" of this.

And how these "millions of supporters" all how a bunch of reason
why it is somehow impossible for them to get a doctors prescription but
have a major medical need to grow it themselves ...

OK jackass, I tried being polite and you respond with insults. You buy
into the propoganda because you assume that everyone who uses drugs is
a slack-jawed loser. No matter how much you wish this were true to
prop up your pathetic lack of self-worth, it is not. As I said above,
you probably meet MJ users everyday and you never notice because MJ
does not make you into an instant idiot.

Have you ever thought that the reason they are assholes is because you
insult them and treat them like shit?

Oh, that's amusing. I bring up the fact that MJ *is* an anti-emetic
and watch Phil backpedal.

This is why you are a jackass. You are comparing MJ advocates to
pedophiles. You sound more and more like a prohibitionist with every
post.

Of course there is a lot of interest in this issue. Why wouldn't there
be? MJ is probably the only medically useful substance whose
manufacture will land you in prison for decades. Why? Because it is
also an intoxicant. Note that opiates are still available for medical
use. What is far more interesting than the number of people who back
MMJ are those that oppose it and why.

"People with diabetes can suffer several types of comas. One of the
most common—insulin shock—develops relatively rapidly and is caused by
an excess of injected insulin or other sugar-lowering medication that
causes a depletion of blood sugar (hypoglycemia)."
http://cpmcnet.columbia.edu/texts/guide/hmg14_0008.html

Can you please point out any research that shows a definative
connection between MJ and either brain or lung damage?

> it is a natural part of one's own body.

So are opiates and cannibinoids. You also have no idea how many people
self-medicate with MJ.

>
> Kan you say REALLY STUPID BAD ANALOGY?

Kann yoo use grammer proper? The point is that MJ is a medication
which works for some conditions. Why should it's manufacture be
punished with long prison terms? Why shouldn't people care that sick
humans are being thrown into cages for using medicine? Human beings
are suffering needlessly. I don't care if there are only 100 of them.
They shouldn't be put in jail. That is where the outrage comes from
and that is why there are so many backers of MMJ.

Do you know the definition of ad hominem? From dictionary.com

"Appealing to personal considerations rather than to logic or
reason: 'Debaters should avoid ad hominem arguments that question their
opponents' motives'."

You are avoiding the logic of the argument to attack the arguer's
motive. Who cares why people back MMJ? Is the argument reasonable?
Do you think that Bill Buckley and Walter Kronkite are just druggie
losers? They argue for MMJ as well

Again the support is indicative of the outrage of innocent people going
to JAIL for using and growing their medicine. Name one other medicine
where this is the norm.

You just got through saying that very few people need it for medical
reasons. Now you say everyone needs it. Go figure.

Just curious. Do you think that the majority of CA, OR, and DC voters
are drugged out losers? They backed MMJ reforms. Or what about the
legislature of HI? Hippies?

It's sad how easy it is to destroy the arguments of someone so sure of
himself.

Snicker.

Now see what I mean? This most-likely doper can't think his way out of
a shit-filled paper bag.

First, he rants on and on about how I met dopers every day and "don't
know it".

Next howvere, he claims that dopers are assholes because I insult them and
treat them like shit.


Now, doped-up-no-brain-cells-anymore-bot, IF I don't recognize

Therefore, they MUST be assholes ALL by themselves.

So "standard". Hit a Politikally Korrekt Kraphead with facts and logic,

Happens every time. After all, the have no facts, they use no logic.

I am also quite positive that you have run into people who make their
drug use public (MJ T-shirts, raver clothes, DARE t-shirts, whatever).
I surmise that you then make snide comments at their expense. I don't
see how this makes me into a mush brained zombie.

I never said they were doper ninjas. As explained above, some drug
users make their habits public, others (most others) do not. I believe
that the ones you recognize you belittle, as you have attempted to do
to everyone in this forum (whether they have ever claimed to use or
not).

Bad news Phil,

No prohibition has ever lasted. Despite the wishes of it supporters
and in spite of the mis-steps of its detractors.

Legalization supporters:

1995 10%
2000 30% - 25% a year growth rate.

estimates:

2001 37%
2002 46%
2003 57%
2004 its all over

by the next presidential election every candidate will be running
against prohibition.

Be patient Earl - as I have said so many times before - your time will
come.

Yes, 300% over the five year period.

Actually it's closer to 24.58% per year; but that's splitting hairs.

No.

There's a five year span, and he said growth of 25% per year.
Increase x by 25% five times and you get approximately 3x.
