Yeah, there's absolutely ZERO medical uses for Cannabis..

Except of course

Solving serious stuttering

Helping people who can't stop throwing up from Chemo

Helping people have some comfort whose muscles burn like they're on fire with cerebral palsy..

Check out how the woman who could barely speak with the stutter is pretty much instantly "fixed" by smoking the "non medicinal evil plant"

@ 1:13:00 a comparison to how she speaks usually at: 36:06
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

The most common way people die from Alcohol is not because they have a deadly amount in their blood stream and they die of poisoning - the most common way they die from Alcohol is by being a little too drunk and doing something really stupid like driving 100 mph in a 25 or jumping into the pool from the roof...

Of all the debates about POT - the least important debate is the actual smoke in the lungs

There are other more serious points of contention :nod:

Well, I've seen a couple studies (too lazy to look them up, bite me) that concluded there's no signifcant negative impact on lung capacity.

Beautiful. Now throw in the ACA and tell me why I should pay into a system that allows the practice of poor health habits. You decided to compare alcohol (not sure why) and admitted that it won't be a drain on the ACA. Can you make the same claim about weed? Only if you backpedal quickly. :coffee:

Compared to booze, weed will be a pain in the ass for ACA as people who use it will live longer than the drunks. Speaking of poor health habits…pizza!

As usual, you're making the argument for outlawing alcohol, not for making/keeping pot legal.

New York teenager Joseph Beer smoked marijuana, climbed into a Subaru Impreza with four friends and drove more than 100 mph before losing control. The car crashed into trees with such force that the vehicle split in half, killing his friends.

No, I'm not doing that acutally. I'm saying it's a double standard to have one substance be perfectly legal and the other not, outside of two states. I think they should both be legal and treated the same way.
Surely you're smart enough to see the difference. :coffee:

Nope. Dangerous drivers are that much worse whether it's weed or booze. The trouble with weed for most drivers is going too slow.

I can agree that it's a double standard, but by posting how bad alcohol is, you are making the case for it being banned, not for legalizing pot.

If you are against pit legalization turn in your conservative/limited government card immediately. It's time for you to start embracing the nanny state. Congrats! :clap:

Horsecrap. The psychological changes (psychopathy) resulting from chronic marijuana abuse are irreversible.

Initiating abuse treatment and counseling is exponentially easier with alcoholics than with stoners.

Again...hyperdefensive denial.

I feel the same about potheads' health as I do drunks' health: nothing.

Anybody should be able to destroy their health if they so choose and its their own fvcking business. I dont want to pay for their healthcare, either.... public healthcare is the government bureaucrat's avenue into your living roon, bedroom and pantry
