Why would you legalize Marijuana?

It helps people overcome the nausea associated with taking the drugs used to treat those conditions. So they get te munchies and eat instead of wasting away to nothing.

That's definitely a good effect, but I thought it was even more significant than that. I guess not.

5 a week, not 35. I made a pretty bad typo. My cat walked across the keyboard and submitted it before I was done too.

Anyway, here's the article: http://www.canada.com/search/site/st...A-2C59BB675BD5

5 a week? Well that's nothing....or I must be one dumb rock......but I took an IQ test an got 143, so I guess I can smoke somemore.

5 is like a daily dose.

That's it Feltch, you are now officialy Larva-Man to me. Just like my roommate! He's number one of course but you come in a close second. So if you see Larva-Man anywhere in a thread, you know that's you.

If you're taking 5 daily, you should work on that. It's not healthy.

But what about medicinal properties of marijuana.
Am I right or wrong with this -- has marijuana been proven in repeated studies to effectively treat different forms of cancer, and HIV/AIDS???

NOTE -- treat, not necessarily cure

If someone knows, please enlighten me on this.

This is from a resolution by the American Public health Association, in 1995:

Marijuana has been reported to be effective in:
a) reducing intraocular pressure in glaucoma
b) reducing nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy
c) stimulating the appetite for patients living with AIDS
d) controlling spasticity associated with spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis
e) decreasing the suffering from chronic pain
f) controlling seizures associated with seizure disorders

'Reported to be effective' and 'proven' are two different things, however. Still, I was already aware of the glaucoma and chemotherapy uses.

Smoking three to five joints a day is the equivalent of smoking two packs of cigarettes daily. It's very bad for you.

So does eating at McDonalds....

[Asher]

Yes, eating at McDonalds five times a day would be very bad for you as well.

Dude, one time my best friend and I were getting stoned. Our other friend in the military was there, but he wasn't partaking, since he was getting a drug test when he got back. My bud and I are pleasantly backed, when all of a sudden the sober one throws a blanket over himself and starts rolling around on the floor, screaming "I'm a worm! I'm a worm!"


Then he bit me, which was rather a buzz kill.

Because he was a worm.

Hey, if two packs of cigs would get me high, I'd smoke that too.

I'm just doing my part to keep Social Security solvent.
