I Got Legal!

[Markass]

Interestingly I've been reading up on the legality of herb as well....mostly the history. I had NOT been aware the ganja was LEGAL and PRESCRIBED by physicians in this country until 1937!!! People were using it as medicine even way back then!! Physicians were PRESCRIBING it. I NEVER knew ANY of this.

Then in 1937 the govt started controlling who could have it and taxing it heavily so it became too hard to for doctors to get ahold of. Eventually it was reclassed and made "illegal."

Time for a change is right!!!!

yup, they knew they couldn't legally do it..because the constitution doesn't really say anything about it, so instead they created a ridiculous tax on it, making most people unable to afford to have anything to do with it, then came the reefer madness scare..once that was in place, more scare tactics and false distorted propaganda into what it has became today..Marijuana may've once safely treated a wide variety of ailments, but super potent pot is lurking and drug dealers want to get you hooked on marijuana so you'll do other drugs!! :wtf:

Why is Marijuana Illegal?

This webpage is a very thorough description into the prime contributing aspect to marijuana's criminalization :thumbsup:

Thanks Storm Crow. Kush....I know what you mean.....like a paper tiger but it actually DOES make me feel more releived even though I know the feds couldn't care less about state law. But it certainly makes me NO worse off.....

Altered it depends on the state I think but what was told to me was that I need to have a previous diagnosis from a third party physician of something that the state has ok'd the use the of mmj for. In my case it was depression.......I have a long documented history of it and interestingly enough.....mj has never helped (or hurt) my depression but HAS helped me with a lot of menopausal symptoms which was my main reason for wanting to "go legal." The doctor told me she could really only recommend it for the depression (since it was a previously documented ACCEPTED reason) but hey, if it happened to help with my hormonal crap so much the better.

My hubby uses mmj for insomnia......but does NOT have a documented history of it because he never wanted to take ambien or any of those meds. The PA told him what he would have to do is go to a different doctor and get the diagnosis before they could reccomend it to him. Again....things may be different for different states.

Paper Tiger that's exactly what it is!!! Does make you feel a little more secure though I agree.
I bet you can find a doctor that will look past the stated requirements and give your husband the rec. Or just go run and jump through the hoops!:thumbsup:

All he needs to do is see his family doctor and get his insomnia on his medical record. I am sure his family doctor will give him some sleeping meds and then go back and the MMJ specialist can use that as the basis to give him his recommendation. :thumbsup:
