g pot also gives you tits. Ask my younger brother. Ha
A friend of mine had a young son who developed a really strange lung cancer after heavy pot use of about 15 years. It was a cell type I had never even heard of before. I have a suspicion that we're going to find that it isn't as harmless as some think. We already know that it can contribute to asthma which can lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The yahoo article caught my eye so I looked up the study.
I have a number of relatives in the medical field, they will tell you there are new medication coming out all the time that there is no need for medical marijuana. It’s just a rouse to make it legal
Amen, brother.
There is no doubt that the "medical" marijuana promoters are largely people interested in recreational use. There's also no great evidence that marijuana does more than placebos in controlled studies other than maybe for some anxiety sufferers. I don't know. There have been controlled studies linking it to decreased mental capacity in young frequent users even when they're not stoned. People who have problems with MJ are the same people who tend to get addicted to nicotine, alcohol or other drugs. It's a crutch. My intent was not to debate the laws. I thought the subject might interest some on this board because I know there's some tokers on here.
Cannabis is the scientific name....marijuana was introduced as a name to try to change its perception
I used cannabis because that's what's used in the study. If you Google MJ and testicular cancer together you might not find the study.
User? This was a well run study. Go look it up. I read quite few studies and the analysis done was pretty tight IMO. Retrospective studies have confirmed and debunked lots of empirical conclusions held by medical professionals over the years. One of my favorite sayings though about studies is that statistics don't mean much if you're the one in ten thousand that gets the cancer.
Some of the allure of the potential medical benefits are to not have to take the pharmaceutical route. It doesnt take being in the medical field to know they still create new medicine. If you suffer chronic pain that can be alleviated with weed, it's far less damaging than chronic opiate use
Well there is a placebo and anxiolytic effect of MJ. I don't think that studies have proven pain relief. IF you're using MJ, in fact you ARE using a pharmaceutical route. It contains a drug.
If you have a license for it that's fine. 9/10 times people don't... they are transporting felony illegal contraband.
You're wrong, but not worth arguing with. You have an anti cannabis agenda.
Say, what kind of vehicle do you drive? Care to share your plate? Just curious...
Nope. I have a doctorate in a medical field. I also have a nephew that has a pot and alcohol addiction who has done felony jail time for selling weed. I've seen the dark side of weed. I have another nephew who uses the oil for anxiety but it doesn't really help him. Whatever, if he thinks it helps I'll roll with it. I've got friends who were heavy users and they've been fine too. I haven't been around them much for the last 30 but I'm sure they still use some. I'm not in favor of legalizing pot for various reasons but primarily because of the known negative effects on young developing brains.
Legal in my state. No "License" required. You've had a very boring life sir. Carry on.
Fair enough. I dont use it for medical reasons, but know some who get some appetite managment out of it in conjunction with just enjoying its relaxing qualities recreational. I've always preferred it over booze, and certainly prefer being around stoners than drunks. To each their own.
Come into my state with your stash and we will catch you - "You're Done, Son".
K bud. Go drink your schlitz and wait for your wife to cook your dinner.
You're a special one. That's not even remotely threatening. Or funny.
I am not even joking - straight as an arrow.
Who said anything about driving on drugs? You're a straight up retard man. And you've never done any drugs huh? Doubt it. Go worry about your tweakers
