Fakers trying to score some weed?

Medical Marijuana

Medical Marijuana

It’s a full out attack on medical marijuana users. After the Justice department and the White House took a easier stance on medical marijuana, it seems people have quickly started to take advantage. Newspapers are claiming that there is rampant abuse of the system whereby people are pretending to have chronic pain and other ailments to score some quality US of A bud.

Honestly, what did you think was going to happen? We all know prohibition does not work. Over the last couple decades people have come to realize that marijuana prohibition is depriving them of their right to enjoy an alternative to the product of the big pharmaceutical companies. They realize that Nixon’s war on drugs and Reagan’s propaganda are lacking in good old facts and scientific data. Actually, we always get a good laugh out of Reagan’s famous quote:

“I now have absolute proof that smoking even one marijuana cigarette is equal in brain damage to being on Bikini Island during a hydrogen bomb blast”

Right! lol…Leave it to the politicians and the mainstream news entertainment networks to cook up some hot BS.

Kirk Johnson has written about this new phenomenon in the New York times Blog. His post is titled Suddenly, What Ails Them Is What Medical Marijuana Is Good For. Although I thank him for keeping his opinion off the post, I really don’t see why we need to keep reading such stuff. I don’t think anyone is surprised by the spike in medical marijuana use. What it shows is that people want access to marijuana from a reliable source without the fear of ending up in prison. One day the governments of the US and Canada will realize how much resources they are using to prevent the use of marijuana, which is seen as largely beneficial, or at least harmless by most of the public.

So in conclusion, if you are going to get some medical marijuana, now is probably the best window of opportunity :) Grab one of our quality glass pipes while you’re at it!

Call me an old fart, but I think the only time marijuana should be used is for medical use. Legalize it for normal use will just mean that there is nothing wrong with smoking it and we will have a whole heap of drug crazed morons driving while under the influence.

@Sire…I do agree with you…the issue is not to legalize but to regulate it’s use. No matter what the outcome is, we will still have a group of people who abuse it – just like we have alcoholics and drunk drivers. However, much like the prohibition of alcohol decades ago brought organized crime in to the picture and wasted government resources on prosecuting the public, who generally wanted to have access to alcohol, we are wasting resources locking up harmless marijuana users.

Finally, the President takes a step in the right direction. One has to wonder what the angle really is here.

Government exists to protect the rights of the people. That is its only reason for existence. Excuse me, I misspoke. That is the only legitimate reason for government to exist. If only it at least put some effort into fulfilling that reason!

Mr Obama has an opportunity to actually move toward his rhetoric of effecting meaningful change on this issue. And he can increase revenues for the State in a manner that is within the scope of the Constitution at the same time.

So, what will keep the President from this accomplishment? Remember who he actually works for. Lip service says you and me, but experience and hard reality says otherwise. Just like every other President for the last seven decades.

I do not expect any meaningful change, but I do hope that a sane or even a less insane marijuana policy will result.

One last question to further the discussion: Does prohibition work? The answer is yes, if your goal is to create a class of criminals who have harmed no one but possibly themselves. Marijuana prohibition works just as well as alcohol prohibition worked And the goals are apparently the same.

Let’s hope he inhales just this once.

@Keith…Yes, it’s a very sad time for America which was once a beacon of hope and freedom. I must say that I was skeptical that Pres. Obama would actually deliver on his campaign promises; I never, however, expected to see him accelerate the Bush policies. You are right about who he works for…they will never let such profitable ventures like the Fed, FDA, Big Pharma and the others take a hit. These are the institutions who set policy through the White House and through Congressmen that they have on their payrolls.

I know what you are saying Alan, it’s just that I’ve always been of the opinion that once you legalize something that has always been illegal it just puts the stamp of approval on it.

The next thing you know, the next generation will be full of slow moving doped up youngsters who are make less useful contributions to society.

I know over here they have facts to show that a lot of people suffering from mental illness was related to their marijuana habit. It doesn’t affect everyone that way, but those prone to it are get affected in a bad way.

Once everyone starts using it because it’s legal and ‘cool’, you would expect a lot more of these type of cases coming to the fore. I would suggest this would put a hell of a lot more pressure on govt. resources.

BTW, you should really consider installing a reply to comment plugin so that people can be informed of updates.

@Sire…thanks for the reply, I don’t know if legalizing it would make it cool…it might for the first little while and then it’ll be old news. Look at Amsterdam, the only people making a fuss about are foreigners. Alcohol use was dramatically higher during prohibition (not initially, but within a short time it was up approx. 70% from pre-prohibition era) because of the same reality. I just don’t think Government is meant to tell us what to do, they should provide security, justice, and represent the interests of the citizens in foreign policy; I don’t feel comfortable with a government that regulates the kind of education we can get, the health care we have access to, the amount of policing we need, what foods we can eat, and coming soon…what you can see on the Internet (if you have seen the hearings with big telecom companies on tv).

Thanks for letting me know about the reply issue…I just installed one but I’m not sure if its working ok. The blog is new as you can see and it needs more work for sure. Really appreciate it!!!

Sire@WassupBlog

Alan, I’m not sure that is the case. Take smoking for example. Everybody knows that it’s bad for you and yet so many kids take it up. Cool factor perhaps.

Anyway, wouldn’t legalizing it just make it cheaper and more accessible?

BTW, I don’t think that plugin is working as there is no option for me to subscribe to these comments?

What do you think medical marijuana acceptance is doing? It’s a decriminalization of weed and will eventually lead to the outright legalization. You can’t allow a little usage for “medical reasons” and expect that it won’t be abused. Public support doesn’t mean it isn’t immoral. What if enough kiddie porn people got together and people just stopped caring enough to fight them? Eventually casual use of kiddie porn would be accepted and the trip down the slippery slope would be complete. No justification of immorality will ever lead to good.

@online payday loan…Thanks for your comment. I don’t think you can compare the two at all. We are talking about something that really does not harm anyone. They have had legalized use in the Netherlands with success for many years now…I don’t think you can find any country that condones abuse though.

I had a long, eloquent post all typed out, but sadly it did not go through.

I was going to comment on the use of medical marijuana (which I use responsibly), and why it should be completely legalized. Either way, all the points I made were mostly re-worded points others have already made so it’s alright.

The main thing I want to comment on is:

“So in conclusion, if you are going to get some medical marijuana, now is probably the best window of opportunity Grab one of our quality glass pipes while you’re at it!”

Yep Alan, I have done both. It’s my birthday on November 17, and I took the opportunity to buy myself the fantastic looking Wild Mushroom pipe. I eagerly wait for it to arrive, and the bowl be filled with some high quality California medical bud. =)

Thanks!

Los Angeles Medical Marijuana

medical marijuana is the answer to tens of thousands of patients just in LA, SPEAK UP LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD legalize medical marijuana, Doctors and nurses have seen that for many patients, cannabis is more useful, less toxic, and less expensive than the conventional medicines prescribed for diverse syndromes and symptoms, including multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, migraine headaches, severe nausea and vomiting, convulsive disorders, the AIDS wasting syndrome, chronic pain, and many others.”
