DavidE has not had a television for 30-years for good reason.
If you read my posts and replies it would be OBVIOUS I am not anti-marijuana, far from it. I am however strongly against hypocrisy. Like against the
idea of driving stoned, trying to be as productive in the workplace when you cannot recall what happened ten seconds earlier, ingesting superheated
distillates of burning vegetation and claiming it is harmless. Suggesting cops and the military will laugh at finding a lid inside your car.
What I AM strongly against as well, is the idea that LEGALIZING MARIJUANA is the cure all panacea that will stop the senseless violence in Mexico.
That Joe Blow potsmoker will reject cheaper Mexican pot and furthermore the average potsmoker would reject much cheaper Mexican pot because of ethics.
Marijuana has been proven beyond a doubt to be a near miracle for people undergoing chemotherapy. Ever undergone chemo? No? Let me tell you it is hell
on earth. Eight months of it. Try withstanding an hour of a MUSTAGENE c-ckTAIL dripping into a vein. Would I have SMOKED pot to treat the agony of
puking bile into the toilet? NO! Not only NO but HELL NO! I would take taken it by capsule or even brownies, but because of what superheated smoke
does to body tissue smoking ANYTHING is out.
Hundreds of tons of MEXICAN MARIJUANA enters the USA every year to satisfy the habits of those who could give a good gosh darnN about Mexico and
Mexicans. I am supposed to be tolerant of billions of dollars worth of bullets, Barrett Sniper Rifles, and grenades in the hands of fanatics who use
boiling acid and decapitation to deal with the "competition"?
LEGALIZATION IS NOT GOING TO STOP THIS! Realize it and realize why. Cheaper Mexican pot will ALWAYS rule the market and bales of US Dollars will
always pay for bullets who kill people in Mexico because "ethical" marijuana users REFUSE to take a stand. They hide behind people who have legitimate
reasons for using marijuana and who would make damned sure their pot does not fund murder and mayhem.
You personally may have enough sense to overcome this but realize the following, a great majority of those who support the legalization of marijuana
do so to get CHEAP POT AT ANY PRICE. Find a way to fix this quandary and I will get behind the legalization movement whole-heartedly. Untaxed Mexican
marijuana will ALWAYS BE CHEAPER than USA pot. There will be killing down here because of the insistence of millions of knotheads to not change it
because legal, moral, and ethical pot will cost more.
Got it?

Saw SOME of that program last nite, the part I saw didn't
mention Mex, they were focused on the benefits of weed grown in the US, apparently there are a few 'licensed,
approved growers' of medical Pot, which was news to me.
No doubt the Pot Pharamicies in the US, at least in
CA, seem to have a few clients that don't use the weed
medically, ironically the weed grown by one
particular US grower who INTENTIONALLY breeds out
the THC for use by legitimate medical users, raising
the % of another chemical in weed which is the benefical
part

sancho,
Your post makes sense. Thank you.
I got caught in a balacera between LFM and Los Zetas in downtown Lazaro Card##as Michoacan. It wasn't funny. Pilar age 8 fell down crying and Dalia
age 6 peeed her panties. A chip off the storefront of Bodega Aurrera nicked my forehead and blood was running into my eyes as I dragged both girls to
the car and threw them in the back seat on the floor. Pilar ripped off part of her tee shirt and held it to my forehead as I jumped the curb and
headed for the main boulevard. I stopped in La Mira and got stitched up. Tres puntas. My forehead bears the scar from ----------- who paid in full for
my real life experience with the meaning of absolute arrogant stupidity. Cheap marijuana at any cost.
If I could have I'd have teleported a dozen of them from the states and used them for sandbags. The ---holes will march a dozen miles in their Nike's
and Zoomie Stretchers to protest child labor in Thailand, but do nothing but insist on NOT BUYING BLOOD SOAKED POT - no way in hell.
I am finished with this subject pending that nice word from sancho. A small ray of hope.

coincidentally, our attorney general today has declared that all prisoners in fed prisons with a "drug related, non aggressive" crime...(and i'm sure
i quoted that wrong), will at least be considered for early release....do you think this had anything to do with sanje gupta's cnn documentary,
"WEEDS"????.....i do...da world she be a changin'..

medical marijuana
Realm of Caring is one such company as referenced by Sancho and Dr. Gupta. They're legal growers of hybridized plant that's extremely
low in THC, the psychotropic part, and high in CBD, the part that's being scientifically proven to be medicinally therapeutic as treatment of various
dis-ease such as convulsions. You can read in their archives studies indicating that CBD is an analgesic, anti-emetic, anti-convulsive and shows
anti-carcinogenic properties; CBD in combination with THC is showing anti-inflammatory properties "while antagonizing some undesirable effects of THC
including intoxication, sedation and tachycardia."
It goes on. Mind you, in these clinical trials nobody's sitting around smokin' dubies, homegrown or smuggled from somewhere. The herb has been made
into a distillation and is taken in measured liquid doses, I believe.
Anyway, there's my 2cents and lead-in.
Study it yourself if you're interested.
Here's there basic info. from their Facebook page:

You're welcome, Jeff.
You might be fascinated with their archived scientific studies.

Sure, hang on a minute...
ok, I just did a quick search on their website and didn't find it. That's too bad. However, look at their Facebook homepage at the top and click on
DOCs. There you'll find many, many research papers. I figured they'd have those docs on their website, too. Pretty convincing scientific-based
reading, basically comprehensible to the general public.

I don't have all the answers, but can't we agree that the war on drugs is a failure. High costs, overcrowded prisons, ruined lives. Why can't we put
together the top minds on the subject and come up with a new plan. We must stop the lies that are used to promote this war?

That was said, not to be snotty, but to inform that Realm of Caring has provided access to a lot of information that, at least in their summaries, is
quite understandable to the reader as opposed to the deep-scientific jargon of heavy scientific research papers-- that's there, too, if you're so
inclined.
I'm not casting a vote or giving my opinion on whether MaryJane should be legalized in the US or Baja or anywhere else. Nobody's asking me, and I'm
not volunteering yea or nay. I'm saying that I'm pleased that science is really taking a look at this ancient plant and hope it will help to dispel
the controversy & violence, and best of all restore health to sick people.
Now, here's a short clip showing how professionals can even goof up. http://tv.greenmedinfo.com/texas-cops-raid-farm-commune-mist...
