Medicinal Marijuana

[sigmapi1501]

Are you for it or against it?
If this ever became nationwide, Since you need a prescription to get it... I could see young males going to the pharmacy, "I have a prescription for Pot... I mean Cannibus.  Here is my script. Signed by Dr... Dre."

My doctor might give me a script just coz he hasnt seen me in years. I must be hurting if im in his office

compared to all the prescription drugs out there that have actually caused people numerous health probs and even death. even over the counter drugs have killed people because of a malfunction in the production process.....medical marijuana isn't one of the worst things that could come out of the medical field.

i am not for legalizing marijuana in general but i think there has to be a good way of detecting fraudulent prescriptions and harsh punishments for doctors who abuse their position, in the case of legalizing medical marijuana.

Phrmaceutical  companies advertise drugs on tv all the time. And doctors perscribe them all the time. So why Harsh punishments for doctors who abuse thier position with medical marijuana? Maybe we need the drug companies growing it and telling people to "ask your doctor if weed is right for you"  and i would bet you  it would be right for you as long as the legal dealers were dealing  it.

100% for the legalization of marijuana in any shape or form, if medical marijuana made it to my state I will be the first in line to sign the papers. I do not need a prescription to enjoy the effects of marijuana but for the sake of many "laws" I would ask my doctor for it. But just as this is coming about in many states a good topic was brought to my attention on the legalization of medical marijuana although yes this will help millions and I really do mean millions of people with different reasons for usage. Though the thought of the government or any other big wigs using growth hormones on the buds. So there could be a downfall on this. Legalize even the slightest bit and we have to worry what is going into the plants we smoke. Makes you think a little huh?

it wouldn't be right for me because i don't agree with smoking it period. medicinal or not. however i don't think it's any more dangerous than other prescription drugs that are out there.
honestly i don't know why i am even bothering to reply to this because every other post i have read of yours in other threads and here is juvenile and uneducated.

smoke away, my friend.

puff puff pass lol..I am all for it being legal all the way.. know your doctor he is mine too

Should be legalized completely, with similar regulations to alcohol.  The prohibition of drugs has done nothing in this country except create a massive black market, contribute to the spread of crime/violence, and cost tax payers ridiculously insane amounts of money unnecessarily.  Never mind that the origin of all drug laws in the US (especially marijuana and cocaine) is plain racism and xenophobia.  Combine that with lobbying from people such as cotton growers, propaganda, and corruption of lawmakers and you get a nice story that has brought us here.

You mean to say you would be more worried about its growth if it were legalized and regulated as compared to now...where people can lace it with whatever they please without any possible repercussion?

Legalizing marijuana for medical purposes is a good idea. Many people find it's properties to be of great value whether used for pain or for aids patients who are wasting away. It is no more dangerous than some of the drugs that are manufactured by the drug companies. In fact some of the drugs made today cause more harm than good to some people, just take a look at the side effects some drugs have. I am not a smoker of marijuana and don't think I ever would smoke it, but I see no harm in people smoking it to get relieve from their pain and suffering.

[BeccaGoga]

I'm all for it. There are worse things out there than pot.

[klkwid]

I'm for the legalization full out.  People should be able to smoke it if they want to.  It's not as dangerous as a lot of things that ARE legal already! 

As far as medical marijuana goes, I agree to a point-I think they should have a form of marijuana that can be issued.  I believe they have a pill form of a synthetic version of the active ingredient.  It's a little easier to control the amounts prescribed when it's in that form-probably easier to figure out how much it takes to control pain for each person in that form.

Coming from a Health care point of view, in some cases if a patient has a disease that smoking pot will relieve them of some of their pain then yes  I am for it. I have witnessed people who have MS, Fibromyalgia and a few other painful diseases who have smoked pot and the effects of it have helped them tremendously! 

Now, for docs to prescribe it to just anybody... NO!

[madeara]

My friend's ex boyfriend smoked pot to keep him calm.  He suffered from PTSD.  Would it be possible to prescribe marijuana on a case by case basis?

"perscribed by dr...dre" that's funny. lol. but it shouldn't be just medical. it has so many uses. even biodegradable plastics. it would help alot. but not the big guy's wallets. thats why it is how it is today. check out my post on it. it tells u alot
