I make no claim to being a doctor. I'm just advocating honesty. If you want to get high, that's fine with me. I just know that there are a lot of people who want to get high, who use pretty lame excuses for a medical "ailment", who want to use marijuana for illnesses that are much more effectively treated with other therapies. There is a place, I believe, for medical marijuana, but it's for terminal AIDS patients, cancer patients, and glaucoma, as far as I've been able to figure.
In my teens and twenties, I sold to my friends, who, like me, liked to get high. They never hid behind any medical ailment, they just wanted to get stoned. I haven't gotten high in a very long time, but I certainly remember that I liked the feeling of being high, and I didn't pretend that I had any "ailment".
Regarding drivers who are impaired, yeah, I'd agree a person with a cell phone stuck in their ear is impaired. A tweeker is impaired, and a person stoned by smoking weed is also impaired. A drunk is impaired, and I just don't want to share the road with an impaired driver, drunk, stoned, or distracted by a cell phone.
And, pohaku, I noticed you had nothing to say about the National Institutes of Health website. Smoking dope is not a benign health activity, and it certainly won't improve your health. I'm not arguing against marijuana at all. I'm just advocating honesty and integrity. If you want to smoke tobacco, that's fine with me, just don't try to convince me that it's good for you.
In the beginning of this thread, Beachboy asked who was for or against a Cannabis Club in Puna, and why? I'm for it.
How do I know?
