Re: Medicinal Marijuana?

[Guest guest]

Anxiety and Pain can do a lot more negative things than most understand.

However, I have no idea as to what Medicinal Marihuana contains compared to

what a 'joint' might contain. I am sure someone with knowledge and

experience can address this.

I have heard that the pill isn't as effective as smoking the plant.

Forgive my tongue in cheek, but I would bet my bottom dollor that the only

difference is two things. Medicinal Marihuana can be gotten from a doc at

exhorbadent prices and a joint can be gotten on any street corner and if caught

buying it you land up spending the night normally in jail.

Anybody beg to differ, I would love to hear it. LOL just some lighthearted

fun.....hope nobody minds

Fun is a good thing....but here in Oregon if you get caught with a

joint or even up to an ounce you get a 100.00 fine. The jails are

too filled up with the crack heads and the other unsavory folk.

FYI Drs dont dispence the marijuana, they just give a perscription

for it and you have to find or grow your own. This is definately

not my focus (smoking herb) but I just thought I might ask if anyone

knew about toxicity.

In states where it is legal, marijuana can be purchased at private

little stores run by aficionados and growers -- if you have a

prescription. The places still get raided by the Feds. So much is

now grown in national forests that the government is making plans to

spray toxic herbicides over all government controlled land. This

concerns me as I am building a natural health retreat that abutts the

Cleveland National Forest on two sides.

I don't encourage the development of frankendope, but the only way I

know to combat this is to transfer the marijuana genes to a plethora

of other vectors: plants, insects, bacteria, and viruses. An example

would be the introduction of the THC genes into

propionibacteria. This would force the feds into the business of

spraying everyone's armpits. It is only a matter of time before

everything that grows on this planet will become a source of amusement.

I do not understand why anyone with cancer would want to smoke

marijana. You allready have cancer - do you want to get lung cancer

also. One joint of marijana is like 20 cigarettes. My opinion is

DON'T do it. Anxiety use SAM-e , natural and no side effects. There

are other things for pain. I have 2 of my kids that smoke marijana

and a son-in-law. I have noticed a change in their thinking. They

tend to be very opinionated and self rightous and also tend to

question the Bible and get further away from God. Look to God and

establish a good relationship with Him. He will give the answers. If

you are a non believer than I apologise as don't want to tread on

anyones toes. Just think about all that I have said. I have stage 4

lung cancer and I am completely at peace.

maybe the next depression will be ushered in by a 20 cent cancer cure......how

ironical if it were derived from the cannabis root.
