Can anyone find me this quote???

[beachguy in thongs]

Ten to twenty percent of modern pharmaceuticals could become extinct with the legalization of Pot.

Or, something along those lines.

[beachguy in thongs]

Did I ask you if that was much?

And the quote means "total extinction".

It's, probably, higher, now that they're only finding out more good stuff.

[beachguy in thongs]

Your first post didn't contain a question at all, I'm afraid.


Can anyone find me this quote???

Maybe, I should've rephrased it.

Can anyone help me find this quote, 'cause I'm done looking for it?

[beachguy in thongs]

Okay, then get your Moderator buddies to delete this thread.

You don't care, why should anyone else?

[beachguy in thongs]

No, Billionfold, I'm not in a bad mood. You're, actually, making me laugh.

I don't care about a stranger's Father, but, if they asked for help, I wouldn't say "No one cares about (your father) 10-20%."

The quote must be old, the numbers are probably higher, now. If you could find me anything along those lines, that'd be cool.

I looked dude.. Nothing.. Even tried switching the words up and stuff to make more search results coming up but nothing. Sorry.

I've never heard such a quote--and don't believe that if one like that existed, it was ever said by anyone with knowledge of pharmaceuticals.

Oh, be quiet, birdgirl.

Maybe, I look at things like references.

And it was a medical professional.

{I never heard such a thing. Must not exist. :error: }

[birdgirl73]

You clearly don't know how to read.

I didn't ever hear of that quote before. (Stop. End of thought.)

(Second and separate thought.) If a quote like that existed, even by a medical professional, that professional clearly doesn't have an idea of the diversity of available pharmaceuticals (including untapped ones) in proportion to the effects of cannabis.

You just don't like it that I sometimes question stuff you post. If you want me to be quiet, you might rethink posting questions on a public forum.

[beachguy in thongs]

Okay. I saw it with my own two eyes.

End of statement.

Why are you questioning what I saw? Is it your business?

End of Two Questions, No Answers Needed.

[birdgirl73]

I will continue to ignore you as much as is possible, believe me.

But again, I want you to actually use your brain here before you do anything else or post someone else's words or thoughts or respond. You posted the question looking for the quote on a public forum. That makes it anyone's business in in the forum to answer.

Never heard the quote ... but so far, every person posting in this thread needs to take a damn chill pill. Or toke.

[Psycho4Bud]

Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, NORML, High Times and Omni magazines (September 1982) all indicate that if marijuana were legal it would immediately replace 10-20% of all pharmaceutical prescription medicines (based on research through 1976). And probably, Mechoulam estimates, 40-50% of all medicines, including patent medicines, could contain some extract from the cannabis plant when fully researched.

Hope this is what you were looking for!!

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

Thank you.

[BongSmokityDuo]

You're welcome.

That line "When fully researched" changes things significantly and makes the complete quote suddenly plausible. And the through 1976 limit helps, too, because 30 years ago, we didn't have nearly the amount of drugs we have now. So potential replacement of 10 - 20% of the significantly smaller number of drugs in 1976 might have been accurate.

That's why I doubted the quote the way Beachguy originally worded it because there are now literally millions of medicines. And no one's yet exhaustively researched all the potential benefits of MJ. That's why it didn't make sense.

I'm going to go look up Dr. Raphael Mechoulam and try and write him about this if I can. I think I may be interested in doing/contributing to medical MJ research when I get further into my medical training. Does anyone know anything about him? Whether he's a researcher or publisher of other studies?

Thanks for finding the quote and making it make sense, P4B!

damn you psycho4bud! :D

Oh, well. She's ignoring me. Well, what else can I say, but, thanks guys!!!

That's why I doubt everything you say, because of your prejudgement.
