Marijuana isn’t the cash cow that it was touted to be

[sherrick13]

Just like the lottery and horse racing wasn't the money maker they thought it would be. I'm glad we have medical marijuana, I wish it was recreational. At least some Okies got it partly right voting for medical marijuana.

Wrong. All legalization does is make a place more liberal. Not more libertarian.

Don’t know which is better. But if the patient has intractable vomiting, he won’t be able to keep any meds down, including marinol. So, the inhaled route of administration would be better than the oral route.

Add: compazine & Thorazine suppositories would be the other option, but not as much fun as the weed

No vomiting. Damaged his spinal cord in a motorcycle accident. Sometimes his shakes would be where he couldn't hold a cup or it would spill. The dr just didn't want to prescribe anything with marijuana in it I guess.

If those impediments were removed, who knows, an edible might replace Jim Beam.

Nothing wrong with Beam though I'd recommend Horse Soldier Premium. Hell, taking a shot with your edible might work out....

Last time I checked the current definition of a liberal included more government oversight and intervention in personal freedom.

Perhaps that definition is changing?

I know 0.0 that have been helped by medical marijuana. Now, the only people I’ve known to get it are either anxious or depressed -so they’re lying. But now they got legal weed, and they’re even more anxious or more depressed but also high. I’ve even heard that marijuana cures cancer…cancer, the thing Bob freakin’ Marley died from.

Cures cancer? Well.... it's no Ivermectin but it surely has helped some folks with pain and anxiety.

I believe edibles are a good alternative to prescription pain killers. Much healthier.

I don't know if marijuana works medically or not but hell I'm even thinking about trying it for my rheumatism. Doctor put me on something that was making me crazy. Point is when you are hurting you should be able to get some relief. Only you know if mj works or not, not some bureaucrat. I'll always be on the side of personal choice.

Oh, the absolute tragedy! Imagine the sheer agony of knowing that someone, somewhere, is engaging in an activity that you personally disapprove of—despite it having precisely zero impact on your life beyond the occasional whiff of something that offends your delicate, pearl-clutching sensibilities. Truly, it's a wonder you even manage to endure such an unbearable existence. Stay strong, warrior.

Dude, you have no idea. When I'm running at Riverside or Turkey Mountain, enjoying my day, trying to live my best life and suddenly the skunklike odor of some ne'er-do-well burning a bowl hits my olfactory senses it just crushes me. I stop running, sob, walk back to my Prius and try to think positive thoughts. Sometimes I tune in to KXOJ for some spiritual healing as I drive home, defeated. If these marijuana users only knew what a negative impact they had on the rest of society they'd likely stop what they're doing.

Be careful now......... some folks hear you're up there at Turkey Mountain and they'll be asking you to share a coffee.
