ANY argument on why marijuana should be illegal just got proven wrong

[bodhi]

marijuana is an expectorant


some doctor (tashkin...? taishino...?) at UCLA Pulmonary something or other published a study which found that takin a hit off a joint will STOP a full-blown asthma attack....

marijuana was used to treat asthma, and a whole host of other breathing disorders all over the world for thousands of years because it causes airways and blood vessels to dilate....
in fact the UCLA study said that cigarette smokers should smoke weed if they cannot quit smoking cigs because it'll somewhat mitigate the harmful affects of poisonous, tobacco smoke, which CONSTRICTS airways

so do you see how something that DILATES your airway is maybe not the same thing as something that CONSTRICTS? my $5 pack a day is killing my wallet, but i will gladly pay $10 for a pack of weed packed joints

you stupid cockfuckers are spitting lies about the greatest medicine on Earth because the government filled your brains with pure liquid shit


for those that have done their research can ignore that last sentence

an article for all you medical marijuana proponents.

Too long to copy and paste.

Cliffs notes:

Man got fired from his great job at wally world for smoking out. Court case has already set precedent that MMJ use does not prevent a company from firing an employee for use.

^ I'm not too surprised. The company hired you based on terms you signed and approved of. If in the terms it states use of any illegal drugs (federal or state illegal) it would be grounds for termination. Even if said drugs aren't illegal if the company implicitly states that you cannot use marijuana and you do (whether you have a MMJ license or not), you can be terminated.

I see companies handling this just like they do with alcohol. They dont make an issue of it unless you come up for a drug test, have a workers comp claim, or they have reasonable suspicion you are under the influence. The problem with smoking is that you can be stone sober, but the joint you smoked yesterday is still in your system.

Post #53

This is what I said in post 53:
"Because we all know that the government is always right . "

I'm not surprised you'd take my statements out of context. You wrongly construed that post to mean I was saying that the government "couldn't do anything right". The government gets a lot of stuff right, they also get a lot of stuff wrong. I was commenting on how you so-called "libertarians" all say Gov't should have a limited role and not interfere with people's private decisions, but when the Gov't DOES interfere with people's decisions you all stand up and cheer.

The IA peanut gallery is all skeptical of nearly everything the Gov't does lately, but then when you all argue against MJ/MMJ you say "well the Gov't says its bad, so it must be bad" which is a pretty weak argument for a "libertarian" to make.

And you are taking me out of context also. I pointed that out in the regards to the fact that you want the govt to have complete and total control over your health care.

Name a single time I have done this. You can simply paste the quote to it.

Can you point out where I said I was a libertarian also.

First, people are skeptical of govt because our govt is full of crooks that write laws to make sure they are above the law. Second, several people have posted articles from sources other than the govt. The only sources for the use of MMJ are from people that stand to profit from it.
