It's a plant and yes, people smoke it. Big deal. I've never smoked it simply because it's illegal and I don't need that kind of thing on my record. Legal alcohol and illegal marijuana is silly. Unless you follow the money and it's too easy to just grow a plant so they wouldn't get their tax revenue. Then again, they aren't getting tax for the millions of pounds of marijuana sold every year, so I see it as a tax-base expansion.45erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397455410329074837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657394535887928020.post-52595265412571673572012-04-07T13:43:39.168-04:002012-04-07T13:43:39.168-04:00"They" already have a med with what you ..."They" already have a med with what you are looking for....<br />Dronabinol is the International Nonproprietary Name (INN) for a pure isomer of THC, (–)-trans-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, which is the main isomer in cannabis.[78] It is sold as Marinol (a registered trademark of Solvay Pharmaceuticals). Dronabinol is also marketed, sold, and distributed by PAR Pharmaceutical Companies under the terms of a license and distribution agreement with SVC pharma LP, an affiliate of Rhodes Technologies. Synthesized THC may be generally referred to as dronabinol. It is available as a prescription drug (under Marinol[79]) in several countries including the United States and Germany. In the United States, Marinol is a Schedule III drug, available by prescription, considered to be non-narcotic and to have a low risk of physical or mental dependence. Efforts to get cannabis rescheduled as analogous to Marinol have not succeeded thus far, though a 2002 petition has been accepted by the DEA. As a result of the rescheduling of Marinol from Schedule II to Schedule III, refills are now permitted for this substance. Marinol has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the treatment of anorexia in AIDS patients, as well as for refractory nausea and vomiting of patients undergoing chemotherapy, which has raised much controversy as to why natural THC is still a schedule I drug.[80]<br /><br />SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657394535887928020.post-27480839549571833982012-04-05T21:03:55.117-04:002012-04-05T21:03:55.117-04:00HAHAHAHAHAHA!

If you are going to call it medical, you should go to your doctor, get a prescription, and have it filled at the pharmacy.

I have issues with the "medical dispenciaries" or whatever they're called that are special for medical pot.<br /><br />Not that the pharmaceutical companies ought to profit from it, and I totally agree with MrG's point about later damage. But for the people who are dying anyway I'd be ok with it if it was honestly treated like other prescription painkillers.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11924993310937754220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657394535887928020.post-1479920035317029562012-04-05T16:08:48.479-04:002012-04-05T16:08:48.479-04:00I am going to take the super libertarian route, If...I am going to take the super libertarian route, If people want to use drugs..that is fine, that is their choice...what I object to is them screwing themselves up then coming to the rest of us and saying " Fix me". Then we have these huge medical bills repairing joe dopesmpker or something like that from his years of using controlled substances. That is my hangup with the drug use. I have no problem with personal use, but don't come to taxpayers to fix you. It is the personal choice thingie I rant about.MrGarabaldihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768774166065615995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657394535887928020.post-91524870904686266562012-04-05T16:08:07.090-04:002012-04-05T16:08:07.090-04:00My only objection is that I do not trust pharmaceu...My only objection is that I do not trust pharmaceutical companies.

Marinol was the first, and it's still in use to treat nausea in cancer patients. That's about all it's good for, though. <br /><br />Thing is, the unassuming pot plant has something like sixty or more active chemicals in it, and they interact, and efforts to tease them out from each other and understand how have been vastly less successful than plant breeders taking the direct approach and creating strains that do different things effectively.LabRathttp://www.atomicnerds.comnoreply@blogger.com
