OFF TOPIC - The Fraud of Medical Marijuana

[Guest guest]

Thanks for sharing this. It seems, from the article, that the best economic factors are: alcohol-legal; marijuana-illegal. Legalizing it wouldn't benefit the economy or those it benefits economically now.

If marijuana were legal or decriminalized, and LDN became mainstream all over the globe, people would be drinking less, and the domino effect would collapse the world economy!

Sure, we'd have happier, healthier and wealthier little people, but the controlling 1% would crash and burn the rest of us.

Money does make the world go 'round.

[low dose naltrexone] OFF TOPIC - The Fraud of Medical Marijuana

The Fraud of Medical Marijuana Pot smokers usually agree that smoking pot is more fun thandrinking alcohol. Pot smokers seem like a harmless lot. There areno pot smokers whom you can see laying in the gutter covered withtheir own excrement, urine and puke. They generally do not digthrough garbage cans for something to eat or beg for money tofeed their pot habit. Neither are these people found in theemergency wards after passing out and falling under a tram or anautomobile or having their heads wrapped in bandages afterblacking out and falling flat onto their faces. You do notusually find these pot smokers belligerently picking fights andsuffering the cuts and contusions that result thereby. Neither dothey suffer from liver and kidney malfunction, high cancer rates,arthritis and heart disease. They do not have a high incidence ofauto accidents where they drive over innocent pedestrians. Also,arson, destruction of property, vandalism, assault and battery,murder, theft, etc., are not noticeably high among this group.However, you DO find such things and many other evils besidesamong those people who drink alcohol to excess. So, why is it that alcohol is condoned and encouraged whilemarijuana smoking is prohibited? Who writes the laws that allowsthis discrepancy to occur? As is usual in the West, the laws arewritten by those who benefit from them and not by those who mustsuffer under them. And so, once again, we must ask ourselves the question: WhoBenefits? Obviously the first beneficiary is the booze industry.Who else benefits from the drunkenness of the People? When drunks fall down, they need doctors and hospitals. Drunks get into legal trouble and need lawyers. Gambling andprostitution are vices which benefit from the drunkenness of their clients. In short, all of the services that benefit from drunks becominginebriated and drunks destroying themselves and others, areservices that are highly profitable. So, of course,they write laws that benefit themselves. They promote alcohol consumption and discourage the smoking of marijuana. And when marijuana is illegal, then its price is very high so this is beneficial to the criminals of Mexico and other pot growing locations who get high profits from their crops and for transportation and distribution. If marijuana growing was legal, then the price would be nearly zero because it can be grown anywhere. Pot smokers would grow their own intoxicants and drink less alcohol. Now, I am not condoning the smoking of pot but merely pointingout something odd about the medical marijuana debate. In thisdebate, society is being manipulated by the Media to beeither for or against medical marijuana for sick people. Thosewith cancer and other debilitating diseases have all agreed thatby smoking pot they are able to withstand the effects ofchemotherapy and to eat their food without up-chucking. But the actual debate is being waged for the hearts and minds ofthe ordinary citizens who neither smoke pot nor have a disease.The debate is being waged for the votes of the average citizen.The citizens are being asked to decide medical drug laws forwhich they are neither qualified nor interested in deciding. Whyis this? You see, the issue is really not at all about whether marijuanashould be given to sick people. From a medical standpoint, if thedrug relieves suffering without dangerous side-effects, then itis a good therapy. So, the ordinary citizen should not berequired to decide whether it should be allowed or not since itis a medical decision alone. The ten thousand other drugs thatphysicians use are not placed before a committee of laymen todecide whether they should be used or not, so what is so specialabout marijuana? Why is such an issue put on the ballot for theuninformed and uneducated people to vote on? Quite simply -- thepeople are being brainwashed. When the Media rages through both sides of the debate --some saying "Yes" and some saying "No" -- withoutreally attempting to clarify the situation, then you know thatneither a "yes" nor a "no" is their goal. The main goal in fomenting this debate is to brainwash the People with the idea that marijuana is a pharmacological drug that is prescribed by doctors to people who are sick and NOT a recreational substance on the same level as alcohol. They want the People to begin thinking of marijuana as something that a pharmacy dispenses for a fee and not as an agricultural product that anyone can grow. They want to keep marijuana banned as an illegal drug even though the marijuana plant produces more paper pulp per acre than do pulp forests. The marijuana plant has 10,000 useful products that can be made from it including a very nice. soft cloth, strong rope, eatable seeds, as well as oils, paints and plastics. It is an extremely valuable agricultural product that can benefit any country that grows it commercially. But becauseit causes those in liquor, medicine and law to not make money,they want it banned. Or if not banned outright, they want itclassified as a controlled substance in such a way that they canreap a profit by selling it through their already establishedcommercial channels. The Medical Marijuana Debate is just another swindle. Itsgoal is not to determine the advisability of letting cancerpatients take an illegal drug or not. After all, most of thedrugs that cancer patients take are not only highly illegalwithout a prescription but extremely toxic as well. But there isno debate on whether to allow cancer patients to take morphinepatches or swallow a hundred other drugs prescribed by theirdoctors. Why is this? The goal of the Medical Marijuana Debate is to convince peoplethat marijuana should be a controlled substance that only thedoctors and pharmacists should be allowed to dispense. Thosein the medical profession, in the legal profession and inthe liquor industry are bribing the politicians. You see, oncethey can make money, then ANYTHING is okay to do. An exampleis the Las Vegas gambling arena controlled by organized crime syndicates where EVERY vice is condoned.But if they lose money, then it is made to be illegal nomatter how beneficial it is to all of the rest of Mankind.We deserve what we allow.

Extremely well written. There was nothing in your post that isn't

obvious to anyone open minded enough to educate themselves on the topic

and *think* about it instead of just swallowing the propaganda. Very

eloquent, not to mention courageous in today's judgemental,

closed-minded political climate.

Also, I completely agree with everything you wrote. And I repeated

part, and only part, of your post because I don't believe in cutting out

all of the previous part of a thread, leaving no reference.
