Charlottes web strain was specifically designed and bread (like dogs) to treat epilepsy. There is a group of kids that suffer from severe epilepsy. What would you do if your kid has that, and has more than 200 a day? What would you try if you were told that most kids with this don't live past 8 years old? What would you do? The FDA drug makes them look like they are drunk and unable to function on their own, vs. the web strain of pot leaves them functional and stops the ceasures. Is it still a farse and life ruining drug?

How about looking up what the differences are, doing some research and figuring it out.
I was stunned when i did. The whole reason it was outlawed in the first place is because of the drug companies. There is an Israeli doctor that has been studying it for 40 years. The research is amazing.
Put all that aside.. SO what if someone wants to.. There are plenty of Alcoholics, are you a prohibitionist now because of drunks? There are dead beats, it's not pot that is stopping them from being doctors, and successful people.
Addicts are just that, weather its' coffee, drugs, pot, alcohol..
The reason there are sketchy doctors signing the forms. (as someone that is married to a doctor) is because you have to have a DEA card to write a script for a patient. If you write or could write for schedule 1 opiod's, if that doctor signs the form for medical pot, they can loose their DEA card. No one went to college, med school, residency, and any fellowships to loose their ability to write a script.
Naturalistic have a different dea card that doesn't allow them to issue or dispense those, so they can sign. Hence the reason for the limited doctors signing the cards.
Like it, don't, that is up to you, but before you pass judgement stop and do some research and find out.
Look up the difference between flower, edibles, vapor, oils, Sativa, indica, hybrid, and vaporizers.
Before you quote back the talking points of the drug lobby, do some research.
I can tell you I have.
I will also ask you to think about how many are abusing and dying from Oxy, and other pain pill abuse. If someone has cronic pain, and other issues, if you put yourself in their shoes for a minute. Think about putting a spring clamp on you arm. Something enough to make you reach that 6-7 pain level. Then try reading or doing anything else for 20 minutes. Give it a try..
Then think about or talk to someone that takes those Opiod's and look at how it makes them act, how it impairs their ability to function and think clearly.
Pot doesn't do that. They can still function.
What about social anxiety, hyper vigilance, PTSD? Do you know what that mean? Do you know that some strains relax the person enough that they can now function in crowded places without issue? What about PTSD?
Have you ever had a nightmare, something that really made you sweat? Make your heart beat? Make you wake up in the night, and lash out? Something that made you jumpy, so much that if a family member wakes you up, you just reach out and grab them. Scaring them... What would you do?
Those with PTSD from killing, seeing killing, and the ugliness that war is, with Pot, which btw is cheaper than other meds allows them to sleep sound, sleep through the night, and not wake up at every little noise. Is that really a sketchy drug? life ruining drug?
Don't get me wrong there are those that want to smoke or eat to get high, but every weekend at the local bars there are thousands doing the same thing.
Last point..
If it's really so bad, then why if you pay the state $150 it's ok, but if you don't pay them a fee, is it illegal?
Sounds like the suppressors, and it's really about the freedom to do what you want in your own home, without the government dictating your life choices or values.
I don't like Odummer, but i also don't want someone else preaching their values to me either.
The VA doesn't sign the forms and support THC or medical program because they would then have to send you pot, and that is a mess they can't handle as it is.
If you listen to the doctors.. They want to study it (meaning pay them to test it) so they can create a dosing, (cause they are smarter than you) and then limit the intake (cause you don't have good days and bad days and are a moron and can't be trusted to adjust the dose depending on your day and pain.
If you think making it legal is going to make it easier for kids to get it. That is just stupid. What has stopped kids from getting it now? making it illegal hasn't stopped it. Legalizing it actually makes it harder for them to get, since there isn't a need for a drug dealer if you can walk in and buy it as an adult.
But parents and friends are going to give it to kids just like drinking, we already have laws to deal with that.
Just something to consider.
