Legalization makes more sense than ever right now…Besides the fact that marijuana is just a plant, and can help untold numbers of people with pain and other medical conditions…I really wonder how much profit would be stripped from the mexican drug cartels if Americans could grow their own marijuana…How much impact would legalization have on the violence that is taking place in Mexico as I write this post….If we don’t have to buy it on a black market wouldn’t that impact smuggling operations drastically? My guess is legalization would have a very positive impact on this situation…DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING TORTURED, MAIMED and KILLED BY THE WAR ON DRUGS—LEGALIZE NOW!!!! AND NOT JUST FOR MEDICAL USE!!! REMOVE ALL CRIMINALITY FOR GROWING and/or POSSESSING SOMETHING GOD MADE. We all know GOD knows best

As much as I would like to argue that marijuana is a plant and NOT a drug, it actually is a drug. a drug is any substance that has a physical affect on the mind and body. that is why alcohol is classified as a drug too. but i do still like to consider marijuana a plant

mercaydes- fibromyalgia is often caused by fluoride toxicity. get your mom to de-tox. see earthclinic.com.

chris- gout does hurt. i had it when i was on a high protein diet, tho i am vegetarian. i was eating a lot of dried beans. cut way back on the protein and get plenty of liquids. i hope you can get rid of it.

btw- i have seen skin cancers cured by cannabis essence, but i have also seen them cured with raw eggplant. i do believe that cannabis is one of the ‘mother’ plants and should be completely legal and uncontrolled, but there are other growing things that act on disease.

hi- i just read this- http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_medical_law2_2010_crs_review.pdf and pulled this interesting bit from it, pg 26:

The federal government’s argument that marijuana has no medical value is straightforward. A
drug, in order to meet the standard of the Controlled Substances Act as having a “currently
accepted medical use in treatment in the United States,” must meet a five-part test:
(1) The drug’s chemistry must be known and reproducible,
(2) there must be adequate safety studies,
(3) there must be adequate and well-controlled studies proving efficacy,
(4) the drug must be accepted by qualified experts, and
(5) the scientific evidence must be widely available.

it seems to me, as emilie says, that condition 1 cannot ever be met by a whole plant. so wtf? has any legalization organization argued from this point? how is ‘drug’ defined by the controlled substance act? hmmm.

and what does the controlled substance act have to do with fiber and oil products? and where is the public information campaign on hemp?

also unusual in the report, and among people i know, is the assumption that medical marijuana is smoked. except in treating nausea, it has to be eaten.

I agree with Mercy beacause i am 17 years old and have been helping take care of my mother for 8 years she has P.P.I.A.H which is a heart disease. my mom has to go throught the same stuff mercy’s mom goes through, she is getting worse every day and is the only person allive to make it to level 7 of it.

She made this level when the doctor told her to try marijuana and it worked for her. then she was taken off of it and it kills me to see her go throught all that pain. i wish they would legalise the marijuana because it is a great pain killer. i♥u mom.

Mercaydes,

I am a 47 years old and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

I totally agree with you… Marijuana should be legalized! The only thing that helps me is medibles and hash for body pain. I hope you live in a State that is legal for Medical Marijuana. I have so many emotional problems dealing with not being able to work any longer.

May God bless your Mother and you to stay strong and help the cause of making this plant legal. It is very good that you are supportive of your Mother… this decease makes you feel so crazy!
