What's Your Opinion On Legalized Medical Marijuana?

[Call_Me_Marquee]

I owe a great deal of my betting success (including this year's 15-5-1 NFL betting record) to marijuana.

I think everyone knows it's inevitable that it will be legalized sooner rather than later. Regardless, I smoke blunts when I want, where I want, so the legalization of it won't really change my habits

This is false

yeah
There are actually people who teach yoga and it costs money, a lot of money. I mean you can grow your own plants of marijuana if you want and overtime it's going to cost you nothing. It's just like anything else. You can do it yourself or you if you want the real fire professional cronic or the best of the best yoga....you have to pay.

It's really about what people want.

Some people are in so much current pain that yoga would take an immense amount of mental strength to endure. The pharmaceuticals either aren't doing enough or are doing too much harm to people. The cats out the bag. So really what's the alternative?


If it's taxable it's cool to smoke--kill or not, and the alcohol is killin folks-- true or not?
Other people try to make you bad-- but I know you not

[HacheMan]

I have never smoked a cigarette, much less marijuana & i never will.

So coming from someone who has never even tried it, i say it's asinine for the govt. to make something illegal that is natural & grows right out of the ground from the beginning of time here on this Earth.

But alcohol is legal & causes death via health problems & vehicle accidents.

Govt. is a fool more often than not...

Real talk. The NFL will make changes eventually. Just a matter of time. I know u chiefin on that strawberry cough dawg

You right. I don't blame people for not understanding though. It's what we were raised to believe. I blame the people in positions to make change that refuse. The American government has known for years that this is a drug with medical benefits, that's why they patented it two decades ago as a Neuroprotective antioxidant. People with high glutamine receptors should have this medicine available to them at the beginning of their treatment. Not something they need to bend over backwards for and fight with doctors who aren't aware or educated. Facts have shown pharmaceuticals kill your insides and shorten your life span. And we know what alcohol can do.

[h=1]Driver was high (on POT) in crash killing four[/h]Rutland Herald | November 11, 2017
By MIKE DONOGHUE
CORRESPONDENT
The driver of a car involved in a crash that killed four carnival workers headed to an Addison County fair in August was substantially impaired by THC — the active ingredient in marijuana, according to Vermont State Police.
A blood test on Steven Holmes, 21, of Chatsworth, Georgia, showed he had more than 50 nanograms of THC in his system when the Volkswagen carrying three co-workers crashed head-on into a truck on Route 22A in Bridport. The collision occurred at about 12:40 p.m. on Aug 7.
Holmes was one of four people killed in the crash.
It is illegal in Vermont for any amount of Delta-9 THC (cannabis) to be in a driver’s system. Under Vermont law, drivers are presumed to be under the influence with any measurable amount of drugs in their systems.
In Colorado, where recreational marijuana is legal, the law considers drivers impaired by marijuana when they have 5 or more nanograms of THC in their blood, Trooper Eden Neary said in his report on the Vermont crash.
“Using this measurement, the state of Colorado would consider him 10 times the legal limit of a person under the influence of THC,” Neary wrote of Holmes.
ABC 22 television in Colchester was the first to report the drug test results from the Bridport crash Friday evening.
In addition to impairment, speed and fatigue also may have been factors in the crash, Neary said.
A bottle of Oxycontin also was found in the car, Neary reported.
It was the second-most serious Vermont crash in recent years in which evidence showed a driver had significant amounts of THC. Five teenagers from Washington County were killed on Interstate 89 in Williston in October 2016 by a wrong-way driver, police have said.
Prosecutors T.J. Donovan and Sarah George and Public Safety Commissioner Thomas Anderson have blocked the release of the final toxicology report on the driver in that crash, Steven Bourgoin, 37, of Williston. Bourgoin has pleaded not guilty to five counts of second-degree homicide. His trial is not expected to begin until late April at the earliest.
Multiple sources familiar with the Bourgoin investigation and his court-ordered drug test have said there is scientific evidence showing THC in his system. One source termed the traces from the marijuana as “significant.”
The sources said they were aware of the results, but not authorized to speak in public about the case at that time. They said they went public when the state failed to be transparent.
Police and prosecutors have never disputed the news reports about his test.
A new report showed 57 people have died this year in 51 crashes in Vermont as of Monday. The Agency of Transportation report showed at least 12 crashes had positive results for Delta THC 9.
There are an unknown number of tests still pending or with results not reported.
Gov. Phil Scott vetoed a bill to legalize marijuana in May, saying the legislation needed much more work, including safeguards on Vermont highways.
The Bridport crash happened as the four workers were headed to the Addison County Fair and Field Days in New Haven, about 15 miles away.
Also killed in the crash were Amber Brewer, 19, of Dalton, Georgia, Justin Hendrix, 38, of Bryceville, Florida, and Jennifer Valdez, 34, of Westerville, Ohio.
None of the people in the Volkswagen used their seatbelts, police said.
Holmes, Brewer and Hendrix worked for Dreamland Amuse- ments. Valdez had a “novelty joint,” but had not worked in prior days because of a recent ankle injury, the police report noted.
Lisa Nunez, 49, of Leesburg, Florida. was southbound in a 2000 Ford 350 when the Volkswagen drifted into her lane and struck the truck head-on, police said.
She and her passenger, Thomas Sykes, 27, of Wilmer, Alabama, were taken to UVM Medical Center for nonlife threatening injuries. They used seatbelts, police said.

Only reason weed was ever illegal is dumb religious groups, taxes, alcohol and tobacco industries.

Driver was high (on POT) in crash killing four

My step daughter was one of six kids killed by driver who smoked before driving.

Here in Oregon driving stoned is becoming a problem since it was legalized here, I smoke but only at home and when I know I'm not going out.

Sorry to hear that, that is tragic.

I just have to shake my head at the brain-dead idiots like "big wang" who think that there are no negative consequences to legalizing marijuana, and making it easier for
kids and the dumb-masses to access.

Any substance that has the potential to be abused or used irresponsibly has consequences if you make it more readily available. In this case the good far, far, far, far, FAR outweighs the bad.

I agree there is definitely "some" good... though I'm not sure if it outweighs the bad. It might...

That's terrible. Really sorry for your loss and what that must have felt like. I can't imagine.

To me it sounds like the ecstacy most likely kept her awake all night as she said she took it when she got off work at 2:30 am. Weed two hours before that horrific incident isn't making anybody pass out and veer off the road.... It would have contributed to her falling asleep at the wheel. Regardless that's an awful incident.

I still have never seen marijuana soley be responsible for a death. 99.999999999% of the time something else is involved.

Bro, it is easier for kids to get weed than any other drug and alcohol is legal. Its been like that for 15 years and it has been illegal all of that time. Prohibition doesn't work. Need to focus on those pills to be real. Government was handing that shit out like candy for a good minute.
