Its about time

"The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) reports that a U.S. House of Representatives just voted 221-202 on the omnibus spending bill, which will allow Washington, D.C. to implement its medical marijuana law. ..."

http://www.enewspf.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12143:house-lifts-ban-on-dc-medical-marijuana-law&catid=88888904&Itemid=88890249

They've slipped this into the main bill used to fund the government. It's not a stand-alone deal.

Essentially, the law was passed near 10 years ago but the Federal Government was blocking it from being implemented by refusing to fund it.

The funding is in the omnibus, and Obama signed it three days ago

It's pretty much pointless to legalize it. When I worked in Redding it seemed like they were coming out with new laws everyday restricting what we can and can not do. It was ridiculous.

Either way, it'll go downhill once they start taxing it.

Whether does or doesn't smoke it has very little to do with this thread, its not likely he was informing the medical users of the site.

Roxie, you don't sound like you know what you're talking about so I'd clarify if I were you.

Well you don't die from weed.. No offense but even if you don't know anything about it, you'd have to be stupid not to know you don't die from smoking it.. we're not talking about Cocaine or Heroin here.. :no:

Neither do I, but I worked at a medicinal marijuana shop in california and it's a lot more than people think.

Yes, some people that came in were pot heads, but you really do get legit patients that actually have illnesses. We had several cancer patients, people who had open-heart surgery, people with severe back pain, people who could hardly walk from the surgery on their knees, and a whole bunch of other cases. Believe it or not, but marijuana actually does have it's medicinal benefits.

To me, whether you're against marijuana or for it, it's worth it if you can help out the people who really need it.

And FYI...marijuana can't kill you. There's never been a recorded death from JUST marijuana.

I'm not against it at all. I think they just need to legalize the whole lot of it. I've NEVER heard of anyone dyin from smokin weed. They need to just cut the crap and make it legal. They're not gonna win that battle.

My outburst was just about the whole general aspect of drugs as a whole. They should just make it ALL legal, and the dumb asses that wanna do the hard shit that DOES kill, can off themselves and rid the world of themselves and do us all a favor. I'm tired of my tax money goin in part to those dumb fucks and tryin to "rehabilitate" them, just for them to get out and go do it again. I'm tired of my tax dollars payin for the fuckin drug war that's a losing battle to begin with.

Jus sayin. Wasn't tryin to sound like a bitch. I'm jus tired of all of it.

then you all should be thanking us "pot heads" considering pot was California's biggest cash crop for the past 4 years, 12 billion dollars a year made from potheads? sounds good eh, so why not sell it like tobacco???

That is 100000% untrue.. Name one reason why Marijuana can kill you?? It doesn't affect any part of your body functions for survival....

You can't say "Drugs are Drugs" because that's BS.. You have more of a chance in dying from taking too many over the counter drugs than most illegal drugs..

This is not a bill to legalize Cocaine.. Period.

Tobacco & Alcohol kill more people in the U.S. than any other drug on the planet.. but I bet everyone in this thread that doesn't think they should legalize it drinks alcohol just because it's been made socially acceptable by the Government.

Well right now nobody can because the companys would have to set up a stable crop and that will take a good bit of time. Also, it's not as easy to grow good quality majiuana like tobacco, so on top of the taxes (if there as high as people on here want them to be) and production costs, nobody would buy it, they would just get it from the person they were getting it form before it was legalized. That point being made there would be no companys wanting to invest in the trade due to the fears of it being re-illegalized (idk if thats even a word, but ill use it lol).
Now think about it and make me sound like an idiot :D

There was a cop who stole some weed from an evidence room and his wife made brownies with it and used way too much. They had never been high before and without anyone there to calm them down they started freaking out. They actually thought they were OD'ing and called 911, and its all on tape:

Hooray for sneaky politicians! Ive known many cancer survivors, some alive, others passed that would have loved to smoke some weed to get an appetite to eat as well as keep food down, and thats not even including the pain relief aspect of it.

Someone listens to Boortz.. or not too far removed. I find it interesting that you know little about the affects of drugs but manage to have an opinion as to whether they should be legal or not, by your rationale why even have the Food and Drug Administration? Hell just legalize all drugs regardless of how they adversely effect the population and save the cost in regulation.

Not legalizing Marijuana is no different than Blue Laws which are based on morales and nothing more. Georgia doesn't allow the sale of alcohol on sundays but the state is in a budget crunch, a cut the nose to spite the face type action. Medical Marijuana has many benefits for those in need and those locked up for related charges take a toll on the judicial system.

weed is actually a good thing medically, esp with a vaporizor so there is no smoke. i don't know a single person who has died from weed, or even wrecked their car while high. now meth, coke, crank, heroin, now that shit will kill ya.

your tax dollars are paying for people on welfare who abuse the system, rehab usually isnt free. the 50 billion they spend on useless anti drug crap can be used in many other ways. all of the countries who legalized pot had the $$ and resources to catch the people selling the harder drugs that can kill you.

Damn are you really this dumb, or do you work at it? You are going to simply ignore the thousands of crimes committed yearly, ranging from burglary to robbery, to murder, by people trying to get money to buy more of those hard drugs?

Crimes are committed all the damn time for a various number of reasons. Drugs just happens to be one of them. Not like keepin it illegal is gonna reduce the crime rate any.

Since that is that is the case, why do we both locking up criminals at all? By your reasoning, since a crime would be committed anyways, why lock up anyone, for anything?
