I'm watching the TV and there is a reportage about the cannabis being now legalized in the Colorado. That's a crazy thing ! The dangers of cannabis are yet notorious and well-documented. How is that event considered in other states or by those who live there ?
Hi utuna: Pot is legal in Washington State and Colorado and has been de-criminalized in another 7 or 8 states, some states allow it for medical purposes, still a few others allow it for medical use and it's been de-criminalized as well. Pot is like everything else. If used sensibly it can be fine. If abused it can cause trouble. It has indeed been proven effective in alleviating many medical problems, especially nausea and lack of appetite in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy as well as for pressure alleviation in sufferers of glaucoma pain. Also, there are more and more evidence that cannabis "juice" for lack of a better term has shown some very good healing qualities with a wide range of sicknesses. In this application the cannabis juice is consumed not smoked. I think alcohol is much more dangerous a drug than pot or cannabis derivatives. But I guess that's only my opinion. I don't smoke marijuana by the way and thus far I have not consumed any cannabis "juice" for any of my ailments, but I would of course like that option if I needed to. I would prefer that than chemotherapy. I think more states will either de-criminalize it or outright make it legal in the future. It would transfer tax money to the governments instead of giving it to the courts and the private prison stockholders by locking up offenders as they do now in many states, which I think is totally silly. frank
Hi All: For a comic viewpoint on the legalization of pot in Colorado, watch and listen to this, enjoy!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSlxNRJQcyM frank
yes it causes mental illness especially the hydro they sell on the streets, has chemicals that do harm and can be addictive. However if cannabis was legalized for medical reasons, those that suffer from pain, the natural weed can be bought on prescription only, without all the added chemicals, I think nothing wrong with is, as it can be eaten as a food in cookies or other ways besides smoking it. When one considers the big grug companies that have many drugs that can be harmful also, and have adverse side effects, I find that natural herbs and plants are much more trusting and better for ones health. How many doctors prescribe anti depressants even to children these days, its over kill, and make big bucks for big daddy. just my thoughts.
In my mind there is minimal difference between marijuana and alcohol; both dangerous and a gift from God at the same time. "There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean." Mark 7:15 But sadly I used enough pot in my college days that I just need to avoid it at this point, even if it becomes legal here. It did indeed make me unclean. Oh, and One .. cell .. left.
hey guys weed is bad if you let yourself abuse it... but here is the cold hard undisputed truth alcohol kill thosands of people and so does tobacco.!! has anyone here done their research on death and injury caused by weed? more people are injured talking a bath then are injured or killed from weed the death toll is less than 100! yet our stupid ignorant society goes on and on praising the demon alcohol and the demoness tobacco! do you know the purpose of tobaccos is to pray to the gods? and they don't call it spirits of alcohol for nothing.. in short I would far far rather see weed used in a legal setting than alcohol or tobacco. god created green herbs to be eaten not smoked! which is what the wicked man does! behold the wicked man digs a weed from the dirt and on his lips he burns it! this is the old bible! so praise be to Jehovah that now at least in one state its not a crime to use an herb blessed by God. and part of the sacred incense mosses was given the recipe for! no wonder the Israelites liked church the wave incense was rather happy scented. all you booze guzzeling brawling rednecks that hang out in bars and stupidly pay $5 for a drink you could have poured for 12 cents yourself tell me how bad weed is! at least weed user's know that paying more than $3 to get high is a fools thing
