yeah i really dont see the difference if they are going to synthesize the cannabinoids. seems like just another thing for pharmecuticle companies to control. if you're getting the same cannibinoids as you would from injesting the MJ in brownies, or even vaping it, whats the difference from taking a pill that cost alot more money to make? and that sativex and marinol are supposedly crap compared to the real thing

If cannabinoid medicines are available by prescription and marijuana remains illegal, the prohibitionists can say (as they already do) that marijuana has no known medical uses and any benefits it might have can be had by legal means. The prohibitionist dogma states that medical marijuana is just a ploy by potheads to get their recreational drug publicly accepted. If effective cannabinoid drugs are available at your local pharmacy they can continue to rant against medical marijuana without sounding totally without compassion for the sick.

The media seems to want to discredit the FDA annoucement and the goverments stance on Medical Cannabis.

The media was very suspicious of the FDA statement and included many statements from our allies, in particular the MPP got a lot of ink.

Im not in the medical field either, but I think your talking about a different kind of alcohol. I don't think drinking alcohol has any medical benefit either. Thats what my opinion was really pertaining to.

Drinking a small amount of alcohol on a daily basis has been shown to considerably reduce the incidence of myocardial infarctions (heart attacks). When taken in the form of red wine it's even more effective.

And I'm sure that there were some very nice, well educated people in the SS or KGB. And when they sent people to the death camps or the gulags, they were just doing their jobs They may have had neutral feelings about Jews or "enemies of the state". Buzzby, I understand where you are coming from (forget Niteshift, just police in general) where police are REQUIRED to enforce the laws of whatever government they serve. But sometimes you got to ask yourself "Are they doing the right thing by enforcing that particular law?"

Did anybody think that big pharma wasn't going to get in on the medical herb wagon sooner or later? Now it will be fine to have the "Sativex" for your problem. Why do I feel sick to my stomach. Excuse me while I go cuss loudly and profusely.




That doesn't sound good for us considerering they just aproved a "herb" drug like "Sativa", I wish they'd make up their minds.

At least another form af the the herb is being recognized as a usefull tool in the medical grabbag available to a doctor, thats a big deal, seem's like to me....




We're gonna have to listen to that line for the rest of the time it takes to get full legalization......

You know we shouldnt have to worry about making it legal for medical purposes when it should be legal to begin with.
When it was discovered that documents existed proving cigarettes were made legal even though they knew how addictive it was as well as the health risks prior to doing so what was the response? ...jack the prices up drastically and of after course all the years of smoking and millions of smokers fully addicted they pay the price and have to watch "truth" commercials (while anyone who wants to quit has no financial assistance for item like the patch or anything)
someone is making a killing here financially at the tax payers expense.
I still dont understand how these people get to be "experts" on MJ when from my experience for the last 25 years I have seen countless MJ smokers and any bad experiences were either alcohol related or that particular individual was not the "brightest bulb on thr tree" any way.
I guess if they did legalize it many of us would grow it ourselves and then they wouldnt get as many tax dollars.
I have seen up close growing up the collatoral damage that alcohol does and continues to do to this day and its advertised on TV with its (oxymoron) message "drink responsibly"
Whatever reason they have for not making MJ legal it must be a doozy cuz so many of the things that are legal now are much worse.

just my opinion
