I blame the dealers who people who aren't experienced in being careful who you trust especially your dealers. This goes for my state and it's still much very illegal here over in any other state. I feel we are in the dark ages still, like 1990 hasn't changed that pot is going to send you to hell and make you a communist. Seriously.

The cops who enforce these laws I know personally rather not spend time putting these people in jail, but they get paid anyways, so it's corrupted completely by the drugs they get. Sometimes we have reports of cops reselling the drugs somewhere else or burning/smoking it after arresting the people who possessed it. This isn't an uncommon thing too, and that didn't come from a friend, it came from an local county officer who pulls people over to arrest them for drug paraphenillia charges and felony drug possesion charges so on.
They all assume without even taking the time to understand what they are saying that marijuana has to be feared. That's why the government made propoganda videos before my time about marijuana. Seriously watch old say no to drugs about weed from the 90's on back. You'll get the trend what I mean, it was all for scare tactics and went off of loose info and usually was false on the other stuff. Just things that happen on face value to keep people in line.

See it all comes back to the individual and what I was getting too before getting off track there are dealers that will push harder drugs and keep on going to make more sales on taking other people's addiction issues for profits. Like a pharmacist to a person with a diabetic heart thyroid problem equivalent for regular check ups to the dealer. Then in many cases they'll kill you off if you come off as bad business and give you a discount on heroin and you OD and die. This happens up the road from me regularly.

I grew up around drugs and I know far more than most people when I was 12. I wasn't proud of it, and certainly did like the environment, but I found a lot of information that was very helpful. That the most important thing if you buy drugs for yourself you should know what you are putting into your body.

Legalizing weed would cut that joe down the gas station out of a job at least for laced weed issues.

I've had stuff laced and it was scary.

I don't do weed regularly, but very seldomly. I feel a dispensary is much safer than the local drug dealer.

Seriously think about it, what if you had a child who does weed and you don't know who he is buying it from or where it came from. I mean, I wouldn't condone the behavior and wouldn't shame my child if they got to the age and started doing drugs, the fact they weren't honest and careful would upset me more than doing weed.

It could be their best friend, who maybe as much as a drug pusher as the 40 year old man making a quick buck. It's a matter of trust when it comes to that anymore. I find that sketchy trust is the reason I don't bother doing it much, I'm afraid sometimes if I had money on me I'd get to buy some weed for a friend and i to share and then I get robbed at gunpoint for my money which happened to one of my friends or be led to get jumped and beat to death. Like I wish they legalize it, so this madness can stop I'm afraid of some of my friends getting shot for a a couple grams of purp.
I was talking about it from a pure medical stand point. But you're right.

Most all police officers hate wasting their time arresting people in possession of marijuana, and the DEA spends an annual $200B where most of that effort goes against marijuana.

From a economic stand point, it'll bring in more money.

I'm still 'iffy' on recreaitional use, but if it does become recreational. I believe it should be taxed, while medical use shouldn't. I also believe there should be a clear distinction between medical and recreational. I don't know what, but just a distinction. Such as no taxation on medical. Maybe even allow medical users to grow their own 'medicine' (which the the only legal way to obtain marijuana in my state, although, there are 'dispensaries' that ONLY serve the medical community here. And maybe the allowance to possess more oz than recreational users, as most medical users use it more than once a day.

SSRIs and benzos are addictive and hell to come off of.
don't know about benzos, but i do take xanax and use to take klonopin. But I can fully attest to SSRIs. Marijuana has helped me come off of prozac, which was very difficult. I used to take paxil, and i would say that was way worse. I've been on 3 anti depressants, venlafaxine, fluoxetine and paroxetine

i agree and disagree.

I feel like marijuana may become the new 'it' prescription. Where people will go to the doctor and say 'hey doc, i have been having some painful wrist pain. can i have some medical marijuana to ease it?", in that case. I'm fully against it.

But in the case of people like me who use it to gain weight and maintain a healthy weight, I'm all for it. Marinol has been proven least effective in comparison to marijuana. why? because marinol is just thc, while marijuana is thc, cbd, cbn, etc

smoking anything is harmful.

its just less harmful than cigs, and if used in moderation (ie. a few times month), its not enough to have any serious. long term health effects

As far as dispensers and clinics compared to home grown. I have little to no knowledge I live in a tristate that the fact weed I mentioned you'll get arrested. So thee only info I got was first hand experience and knowledge from people in Cali who go to them and shown me forms I would need and a bunch of other tid bits I already knew and found out as interesting, but anything else as of I know of is strictly to where I am from. So some things about home grown being better is not a surprise and a no brainer sorta, but definitely something new I learned in that. Thank you

I dunno, really. I don't think I have a problem with medical marijuana. Wish I had some, frankly.

I think if it helps you, then use it. The stigma around medical marijua is slowly changing, as more and more "normal" people use it. It is perfect for your purposes of weight gain while helping with your pain. If your mom can't accept that it helps you then she doesn't need to know you're using it...end of story.
