....my son just gave me some medical cannabis,,'high' in CBD,
Cannabidiol, low in THC, so it's more focused on the medicinal element, less on the euphorics.
Early 'research' shows it seems to be quite helpful with arthritis pain and associated mental stress. It's a nice concept to have something to use
in particular times, rather than the options given with conventional meds.
..here's more inf on the Cannabidiol.... http://www.leafscience.com/2014/02/23/5-must-know-facts-cann...

Yes I also would rather have something like that for arthritis and pain relief. the pain medications are addictive and I don't want to even start the
routine. hopefully the research continues and the fine tune it so it works well.

Blame Nixon for all this hassle. He was so infuriated by the "hippies" during the Viet Nam war that he decided to come down on marijuana to get back
at them.

Actually it goes back to prohibition, and especially in the 1030's when a typical 'conservative' nutcase went after it with a vengeance; can't
remember the dude's name, but just like today, it was an intolerant few who wanted to dictate and legislate what a person could or couldn't do to
themselves, other than what that power-hungry twit would only do to him/herself (in public... does the name, 'Dennis Hastert' ring a bell?). The
first attacks on marijuana weren't at hippies, but at the negro population mainly, and the degenerate musicians of the era, the Blues and Jazz vermin.
I believe Reagan's "War On Drugs" making a mandatory 5-year sentence for ANY possession whatsoever did more to destroy our economy and burden our
system than Nixon ever did. Tricky Dick hated potheads because we... er, THEY... hated him, so all were on his hit-list, labeled as 'druggies' and
sent to J. Edagar in his TuTu (with Tolbert protecting his Rear) for further investigation.... at your expense.
"Reefer Madness" came out in 1936, and the mania was on. This is a great read on Wiki, I highly suggest the link (pun intended). I've had a copy of
the movie since my ... errrmmmm....... early daze.... and at the bottom of the Wiki article is a link for a free download of the movie; used to be a
BIG hit at ahh, parties (doble-idioma entiendo). Enjoy:

Yes my friend, but what there is is a long history of trying to prohibit a somewhat benign drug.

....I have to say I'm rather amazed how far it's all come., you look at an online menu for one of these shops and they've got each type well
classified for it's properties.

DEA Approves First-Ever Trial of Medical Marijuana for PTSD in Veterans
SANTA CRUZ, CALIF. – The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has formally approved the first-ever randomized controlled trial of whole plant
medical marijuana (cannabis) as a treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in U.S. veterans. The DEA’s approval marks the first time a
clinical trial intended to develop smoked botanical marijuana into a legal prescription drug has received full approval from U.S. regulatory agencies,
including the DEA and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

99% of people buying medical pot are doing so to get high. Med pot is a farce concocted by drug dealers to legally sell pot to people seeking to get
high.
Have you looked at the sales pitches? the sales pitches say pot cures most every ailment, do you really think pot is a magic cure of all these ills?
Of course pot makes sick people feel better, It makes all people fell better. that's why I and many others like to smoke occasionally, but I call it
what it is: getting high.

Be nice if you got your facts straight occasionally.
Look at it this way. In Colorado, and other states where it is legal to purchase cannabis for recreational use, a medical card isn't necessary.
Just buy your bud and get high.
There's a reason why some folks get a medical card. And there's a reason cannabis is available to those who don't want to get high but want
medicinal relief.
DEA approving cannabis research for PTSD is a step in the right direction.
No magic cures but many substantiated studies for pain relief. Do the research or shoot from the hip, Tom.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

If you like to get high, just say so, and quit making up medical excuses for your recreational drug use, no one believes them!

Rocky Mountain High? I think it was in the summer of his 27th year.....
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Not exactly true, Goat. I inadvertently (sneaky pot-laden brownies at a party) was exposed to pot---------made me VERY paranoid, frightened, and a
bore, and I drove my friends nuts with my incessant talking. I certainly did not "feel better". Never again!!!

Barry,
Ingesting, (eating) THC has a very different effect than smoking it. Most casual users don't eat it, the effects are debilitating and last way too
long.
Sorry you got spiked, but the two delivery methods are very, very, different.

Clearly a near over dose situation. Without knowing the THC content, eating a brownie is foolhardy. Medical dispensaries who sell medical
grade brownies label sativa/indica percentage. Average patient would consume 10% THC, tolerance aside, and much more might create feelings of
paranoia.
Sorry about your incident, Barry. Consider a ''guided'' experience in the future? I believe high grade cannabis is equivalent of psychedelics
from the 60s. At least that's what I'm told.
