For someone who claims not to use marijuana... You vigorously and repeatedly defend it.. You claim expertise about it.. Yoir threads show you want it...You claim need from chemo.. You are immersed in it

Hard to believe you aren't a user... If so.. Why not.. ???

Perhaps he's just intelligent enough to:
A) realize that prohibition of any substance does nothing but make it more desired.
B) understand that having laws against a plant is idiocy.
C) realize the hypocrisy of people who claim that marijuana is so bad for society yet ignore the damage being done by substances which are far more dangerous yet remain legal.

That's right, I have loads of experience with it, hence why I think the prohibition of cannabis is not only a waste of my tax dollars, why I think that it is ridiculous that it is a schedule 1, feel that people should have access to it for medical use, and after witness the damages of alcohol addiction, find it HIGHLY ironic that cannabis is illegal, and booze is not. . . not only that, but booze is ingrained into our culture.

As a teen, we used to really enjoy cannabis as a tool, as an enhancer, and hell, because it was just plain fun. It makes you feel good. I grew out of it, went on with life, didn't ever want to jeopardize a career or future over it and moved on with life. Years later, after getting sick, and it was an option, I said why not. I use to laugh at the whole medical aspect saying that they just wanted to get high until I became on of the people that used medically. It was better than the RX drugs they had me on, many of which were to mitigate the side effects of chemo. I changed my mind on it. I, unlike some people, have the ability to think, reconsider, reflect and adapt accordingly. Because I am knowledgeable about cannabis doesn't make me a doper, it makes my literate on the topic, more so than someone with NO experience with the plant besides arresting people for it. I am not a horse with blinders.

If I had a reason to use at the moment, I would be, but I don't so I don't. that's MY choice to use/NOT use. Do you have an issue with my choice of what I should do with MY body when I want to?

You're the one hanging out with losers that eat weed brownies while at work. Who is stupid enough to do that, especially if they're a first timer? Why would you cover for him if you have such strong feelings about it? Seems that would have been the perfect opportunity to "teach em a lesson".

Sorry that you can't separate what happened to your friend with the Millions of other responsible MJ admirers.

It's sad that our country is in the midst of a legal drug overdose epidemic of epic proportions yet some people still think fighting a war against a plant that has been used medicinally by every human civilization in history is somehow necessary or appropriate because one substance has been dubbed "legal" by some men and the other "illegal".

You are only demonstrating your inability to think for yourself.

So he got it from a guy that was high and SAID it came from a dispensary ?

There is NO way he ate a TINY piece and it had that effect, maybe you SAW him eat a tiny piece but he already had eaten a big chunk.

You and Fin are a trip, you do understand ALL of your "evidence" would be thrown out in court as hearsay.

Getting high at work, well that shows what kind of person he is.

You really believe he was a "first timer" ... REALLY ?

I have not smoked Marijuana in many years, I used to smoke it often and preferred it to alcohol, NEVER have a blackout, NEVER get sick from it, NEVER do anything you wouldn't otherwise do, NEVER have a hangover, NEVER get violent, ALL of which are common with alcohol.

Even though I have not smoked in many years I fully support legalization.

WHY did I stop? I didn't like the high any longer, legality had nothing to do with it..

You say the same thing to the MILLIONS that have an alcohol drink after work?

How about the millions that take LEGAL pills scripted by their doctor ?

You really need to research the facts and not base your opinion on Reefer Madness propaganda.

No, he most certainly does not!
