Lung Damage? What about Cigarettes?
Addictive? How about Alcohol and Cigarettes?
Marijuana can be useful for Medical reasons
but it can be grown at Home in a Closet so until the Drug Companies can find a way
to make huge profits from it it will remain illegal.
Ed-Zachary...
As long as you can produce it... They'll not legalize it...
'Cause if your producing it for personal consumption...
It can't be controlled and therefore taxed.
As EL-TEE said... Ain't none of their stinkin' business anyways.
Actually, The only thing wrong with Marijuana is that it is high in calories(hence the weight gain) and for some reason Everyone seems to be looking at You.
I've been thinking about getting some to try because of all the pain meds I take from the VA hosp. The side effects are just killing me anyway. What would they do to me in PA if I had some for my pain?

Not so sure about that, I think its more the Munchies taking hold for the weight gain.
Anybody ever think that Eric Holder and 'Fast and Furious' was in the process of helping to protect certain high-up type people and their investment in drugs? It seems to me that with billions of dollars at stake that some 'people of power' would certainly want to get money invested in a very valuable, tax free, operation like that. If it was to get legalized and taxed, the profit margin would be cut dramatically.

I have been where you have been i am getting over stage 4 tongue cancer. I currently take mophine and oxycodone. I have not tried pot simply because i have 4 kids all grown now and i preached to them about drugs and if i did them i would feel like a hypochite. Even though i do take pain killers. Its crazy i know. I see nothing wrong with pot just think it might make people try other things.
So you think you'll get hooked on crack if you try some pot? Not likely, but you'll get hooked on morphine and oxycodone no problem if you keep taking them. That's about guaranteed.
Just because the doctor gives it to you doesn't make it safe. Pot is all natural. I say, try it and if it works for you, you'd be much better off. You gotta do what you gota do for the pain.

I agree with you 100%. Main reason it's illegal is because the drug lobby wants it that way. You know they make synthetic THC? Why. Makes no sense.
It can't be controlled and therefore taxed.

I think, correctly I might add, that it is none of the governments business if you decide to smoke a weed for pleasure, pain relief, tension relief or just for the hell of it. As long as you are in the confines of your property it is of nobodies concern what you are doing.....
The War on Drugs is a unmitigated disaster. So are Federal Laws on smoking weed.
So, DO you think that the fact that it happens to be fat soluble,and stays in your body WEEKS after the effects wears off,that you should be denied certain Inalienable rights because of prior consumption?
I personally do not smoke it anymore,because of the fact that it is fat soluble ,and could cost me a shot at a good job,or loose one for me...[:(!]
PURE BS!!
WTH are you talking about? Please re-read my post. I don't care if adults smokes weed, it is not of anybodies concern, especially government. The current BUSINESS reasoning has ZERO to do with the THC in your blood. It is aimed at the willingness to break the law, right wrong or indifferent that is the way it is..
In recorded history, there has NOT been a death that could be directly attributed to the use of Marijuana. The actual "Illegalization" of Marijuana is rooted in Racist propaganda.
There is absolutely NO rational reason why Marijuana, a naturally growing plant, should be considered an Illegal Substance.
Folks, I could debate anyone for weeks on this subject, and have done so in the past. FEAR and MISINFORMATION are the Anti-Marijuana Lobbys best friend (Exactly the same as the Anti-2nd Amendment lobby).
I welcome the debate from any anti-pot stance, just expect to be schooled. Oh - BTW - I am a serious Conservative.
It's a "Processing" situation, IMO. You ever look into what it takes to process the leaves of the Coca plant into Cocaine? Gasoline is just ONE of the mixers.
Marijuana is effective without ANY processing/addition of other chemicals. It's perfect the way God made it grow.

Thanks. My question was sincere. Thank you for the response. All I knew is that it grows on trees. I knew that there is some sort of processing but I didn't know what all was involved.

Lung damage? What lung damage?
Smoking pot has NOT been proven to cause lung damage. Heck, even the lung damage from smoking cigarettes isn't attributed to the tobacco, but all the freakin hazardous/poisonous chemicals the growers spray on it.
Inhaling super-heated air alone causes pulmonary damage. Add the particulates and you have real damage. Ask a pulmonary specialist.

Well Yeah, White Castle doesn't deliver you know.
Yep it is indeed natural. So is the tree that produces arsenic. Deadly night shade is called that for a reason. Would you advocate the drinking of hemlock which is also 'natural'? Natural does not automatically mean 'good for you.'
I understand that Hemlock is good to....It to is a natural plant..
Hemlock, several poisonous plants in the Apiaceae family (formerly Umbelliferae):
Hemlock (Conium), two species, one formerly used as a method of execution
Water Hemlock (Cicuta)
Hemlock water dropwort (Oenanthe crocata)
Hemlock (Tsuga), a genus of coniferous trees
