How many other non-fatal herbs can you think of that you need a doctor's (or anyone's) PERMISSION to use? :wtf:

Don't get me wrong...Legal MMJ is WONDERFUL! And Go For It, Missouri! :thumbsup: I'm just saying that logically, it should be on the same footing as any other medicinal herb!

Take me to any good-sized plant nursery and I can easily show you a half dozen plants that can get you high. None are as safe and/or as pleasant as cannabis. I can grow and use (if I chose to) any of these medicinal herbs, that can alter consciousness, without fear of the law...why not cannabis?

Granny:hippy:
yes, i agree with you. :greenthumb: but if this bill can become law and it helps people who need it there that is great, too!

btw . . . Welcome back Can Com! thought you guys were down for the count. and Granny, didn't I see you hanging out with those Cool Canadians on one of those other internets? :stoned: those guys are awesome, too. :smokin:
