"Medical" Marijuana

Source:"Medical" Marijuana (The Angry Pharmacist)

Now the last few entries haven't been very angry. This one is to make up for that.

How many of us have been merrily working along, to have some fucking douchebag come into your store and ask if you stock "medical" marijuana? How many of you have had said douchebag argue with you when you say that marijuana is illegal to have on the basis of "I have a prescription".

Let me clear the air here. Marijuana is a C-I substance. It is illegal. End of story. Cocaine is a C-II substance, cocaine is legal with an Rx!

I don't care if you have an Rx from some quack in some hippie-dirt-eating-town like San Francisco or Seattle. I don't care if you have a letter from God himself saying "Thou Shalt Smoke The Weed". Its fucking illegal. Let me repeat it again because you were baked the first time I said it; its fucking illegal. Don't care what your city says, what your county says, what your liberal fruity-motherfucker mayor says, its illegal. State law cannot relax a federal law, get used to it.

Where do people get off arguing with me about this shit? I could care less if there is a clinic down the road that sells it for "medical purposes". A quick call to the DEA and that clinic wont be around for much longer, why? ITS FUCKING ILLEGAL TO GROW OR SELL MARIJUANA! Is prostitution legal for people with erectile dysfunction (with an Rx of course)? Think about that one for a while.

Now I know that people are going to blow me shit about how you have "glaucoma","wasting", "blah blah chronic pain", "blah blah you dont know how it feels" that require smoking out three times a day. My response? There are a whole shitpot full of other agents out there that are safer, cheaper, and work a whole lot better than smoking out. Stop using those lame ass cop-out excuses and stop inviting me to your pity party. Go see a "real" doctor and get a "real" Rx for some Soma or Vicodin instead of going to a quack and getting an "Rx" for some pot. I may not know how it feels to need pot, but you obviously don't know how it feels to be annoyed while you're trying to work (you know, work? The thing you don't do. A job? Ring any bells?)

When you're 24 years old, reek of pot walking in the front door, then stumble over your words saying that you have glaucoma and HIV/AIDS wasting (when you're a good 260lbs) and you need some marijuana, it makes me want to kick you in the face and give you a real reason to smoke out everyday. Then you hand me your medicaid card which really makes me mad that you're doing this shit on my tax dime!

And for god sakes, quit arguing with us about the legality of it! You're a stoner hippie (still living with your mother) arguing with someone who's not baked, went to college, has use of most of his brain still, can remember things for longer than 3 mins, and legally deals drugs for a living! In fact, you wont remember this conversation 10 min's from now (but your glaucoma will be excellent!).

God help us if they decide to make pot legal. If you think Americans are fat and lazy now, imagine when a good majority of the population is sitting around eating Big Macs and smoking out all day. Oh wait, thats our welfare system. Sorry about that.

This was the comment I left at his site, it may or may not actually be approved for posting.

(edit) Sorry for all the profanity in the original article, I'm used to there being a profanity filter. Hope it isn't a problem. Also, wssn't sure if this was the appropriate forum for this item, it isn't really news, I think it's a blog or something. Anyway, enjoy.(/edit)

I can half-understand the psychotic phamacist's opinion. The stoners who who go into a pharmacy expecting to buy their medical marijuana are self-selected as being the more retarded members of our community. Anyone with half a brain knows that medical marijuana is not available by prescription. Certainly people with a legitimate need for medical marijuana would know that.

That said, the guy is an incredible asshole with absolutely no compassion for sick people. He should be a prison guard, not a pharmacist.

The doctors who recommend medical marijuana are real doctors. Their licenses to practice medicine are just as legitimate as yours to practice drug dealing. You might remember from your years in pharmacy school that Vicodin and Soma are highly addictive. You might notice from your price list that they are highly expensive. When a medical doctor recommends medical marijuana to a patient it is because, in his expert opinion, the medical marijuana is a better treatment for their condition than the overpriced addictive drugs you'd like to sell to him. I'm sorry if that cuts into your bottom line, which is, I'm sure, the real source of your anger.

Many medical marijuana patients are able to continue to work only because they've switched from pharmaceuticals that render them semi-conscious to a drug that resolves their problem without being incapacitating.

People who use marijuana on a frequent basis for medical reasons don't get high. They develop a tolerance to marijuana's psychoactive effects while still getting all of the medical benefits.

The Tolerance Factor

I tried to post a response on the blog but I got a server error each time. I tried using two different browsers and got the same results. I wonder if it's because I'm using a Mac rather than a PC.

This is what I tried to post:

1. Vicodin and Soma are both addictive and expensive. Marijuana is not. Why push a costly, dangerous drug for a condition that can be resolved by a cheaper, safer one? (Other than your making money on them.)

2. The medical marijuana patient who walks into a pharmacy expecting to buy marijuana is self-selected as being stupid. You see the worst and extrapolate to all medical marijuana patients being the same.

3. The physicians who recommend medical marijuana are every bit as much "real" doctors as you are a "real" pharmacist, the only difference being that they have some compassion for sick people. They recommend marijuana over the drugs you deal because, in their expert opinions, medical marijuana is a better choice.

4. While the people dumb enough to think that they can buy medical marijuana at a pharmacy might be unemployable, the vast majority of medical marijuana patients are just like anyone else. Many are capable of working only because they've switched from debilitating pharmaceuticals to an effective drug that doesn't render them semi-conscious. For the most part, medical marijuana patients don't get high because they've developed a tolerance to marijuana's psychoactive effects.

In good ol' CA, we have plenty of "pharmacies" that will give you the goods, IF you have the "Golden Card".

For Xmas, I got a Stoner gift basket from a friend. Had a nice bag of mean green, a chunk of Full Melt Blonde Hash, a little vial of oil, a couple of pipes, and a magic brownie. All courtesy of her "pharmacy"...

I have to agree with Buzzby though... Anyone stupid enough to try to buy it at a regular pharmacy is riding the bottom of the barrel on intelligence.


EDIT: GREAT POINTS BUZZBY!

Not sure why it gave you errors Buzzby, it gave me one when I tried to use (at) instead of @ in my mail address, otherwise it took it fine in Mozilla Firefox.

Excellent response though. Wether or not my comment gets posted, I'll mail him some time with the link to this thread. I did use Marijuana.Com as my home page in my comment.

On a side note, I was just at my regular pharmacy, and asked if anyone there had ever heard of the guy's web site, they chuckled when they heard the name, and one of them said that he was the Angry Pharmacist today. I told em to check it out, but made no mention of Medical Marijuana.

Peace,

One of the browsers I tried was Mozilla Firefox. Were you using a Mac or a PC? I just tried again and got the same result.

I'd appreciate it if you'd copy/paste the numbered points from my previous post into a response on the blog, using "Buzzby" and "Buzzby@Marijuana.com" as the name and email address.

I tried, and got the folowing response from the server.
If that is the same message you got, I'd think they are experiencing problems, or they fed the server too much Vicodin...

For as much as I wish this were a Mac, it's a PC.

I suppose the alternative is to draw the guy here for a conversation...

appledee

He has no true right to give out drug advice seeing as he is a pharmacist, not a pharmacologist or even a GP. Why even bother responding to someone who, not only doesn't know anything about prescribing drugs or their effects, but also suggests opiates or somas?

EDIT: Not that those drugs aren't effective, but marijuana is a safer alternative if it works as well.

Soma's cause me to go into convulsions and nerve tremors, and Vicodin should be made without tylenol. I personally can't stand either one.

I'll just stick with this spliff here, thank you very much......
