I smoke pot...STOP HIDING BEHIND THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA ARGUMENT stoners...if your ever gona get it legalized, hiding behind this isnt gona work

Strangely this is exactly what my friend told me which I made a thread about some time ago. Btw, my friend is in college to become a detective/cop ironically.

Anyway, I think people should listen to Myth because this is how the politicians think. They think that there's no medical benefits and we're just potheads trying to look for an excuse to get high.
I agree that hiding behind this excuse is gonna do nothing.

Why does Herder keep saying that we already have marinol to use? Because these people believe that it has the medical effects of weed (and probably mostly added stuff or just entirely new stuff since they think weed has no medical benefits in the first place) EXCEPT you don't get high/stupified from typical weed effects.

These people enjoy pharmacy drugs because the drugs do one main thing: cure you. I guess you're saying by now that pharm. drugs suck and have bad side effects..
Really, do enough people suffer from the negative side effects of pharmacy drugs? I've NEVER encountered bad pharmacy drug side effects in my whole life. The only person I know who has is my mom after taking countless meds for her flu.
If people cure themselves with weed, then they're cured but then they are just high and can't do anything. If we had a law that permits them to smoke to cure their pain, then they could do it anywhere whenever their pain comes (or they could just lie). This means they can be high and go to work and mainly be slow and fuck up.
If people use Marinol instead, then they are cured AND can still function normally.

I think weed should be legalized for medical purposes because I strongly disagree with what people like my friend who say that all the test patients are just lying and wanna get high. There's a ton of diseases out there that patients claim that weed will cure. You can't just throw away that info and say that ALL these fucking ill people are lying so they can get high! That's just a very fast naive assumption and pure blasphemy.

Another thing my friend said that pissed me off is that we should just throw away the plant without bothering to study it because he literally strongly believes there are no medical benefits and it's just a useless drug that this country doesn't need.

I think it would be a very naive idea to throw away a plant that may have medical effects on people.
What's this talk about weed curing cancer btw? Just in case it's true-- WHAT IF in the far future doctors/scientists discover how to take the cancer curing part of weed and make it into a pill. We would have a simple fucking cure to cancer all in just a pill. How dare people like my friend wants to throw away weed and never bother to study it. It's a plant and many plants have incredible discoveries in them. Yet the government actually prohibits positive studying of weed unless it's about bad side effects that they can feed to the public as propaganda!

I'm for medical marijuanna because it is not worth the risk for people who may actually need it. It is pure fucking blasphemy to say that EVERY fucking patient is lying or just wants an excuse to get high. What if Marinol or other drugs don't work for the sick?

C-mon stoners, get your heads outta your asses. Myth may act like a cop sometimes, but as cops learn from us, we should also learn from them.


btw, my girlfriend's mother now has back problems and cannot work anymore so now my girlfriend (poor foreign family that can barely afford expensive medicine btw) has to work extra hours to keep the family stable.. If weed was legal for medical use, then she could be taking it, but now she's in fucking horrible screaming pain all the time and my gf is very depressed which makes me depressed for her.
All cause fucking people like the politicians think that we're just potheads who just wanna get high.
