Cannabis being legalized...
octoberose:
We live in Colorado and marijuana has been legal here for a while now. The problems have been things like increased homelessness because people were coming here for the drug with no job, some industries have a hard time filling jobs because they still drug test, police have to figure out what the legal limit is, and some people have died while ingesting pot baked goods ( the truth). The upside is for now all our property values have increased , children have had access to a drug that stop or dramatically decrease seizures so their parents have moved here just for that ( no THC involved ). , the freedom to use marijuana medically is up to the individual and frankly if I was in chronic pain I would choose a plant God made over a chemical in a lab, medical marijuana has been shown to have a postive affect on cancer cures ( watch The Sacred Plant) , and lastly my husband uses an ointment with CBD in it for pain on his leg since surgery last year and he swears by it.
I hope this helps a bit .

When Jesus was dying, He was offered some Dope on a stick to dull his pain, but He refused it.
But how many care what Jesus did?

Too bad. I guess he died a dope head.
I repeat my statement from a previous post: "It's like anything else. There is good use and misuse."

Legal marijuana is two separate business models. One is selling THC. That's what gets you high. Marijuana, in that model, is simply one of several THC delivery systems. Their horticulturalists produce strains aimed at increasing THC in the plant. It is a naturally occurring chemical amped up to grossly unnatural levels.
As far as I know, THC has no medicinal uses. It is the other main chemical (CBD?) that has the effects looked for as medicine. It doesn't get you high. In smoking a joint to access CBD, the effects of THC would be a side-effect. Medicines typically try to minimize side-effects. Let's see what the "industry" does.
If I am wrong and THC DOES have some recognized medical benefits, then to inhale smoke seems to me to be a rather poor way to get at it.
Legal Pot outlets are selling THC. Pure and simple. Same as illegal pot outlets. It's why they've raised/bred their product. People using their product for reasons other than the ones THEY have, are misusing it. It's how they tout their product. And it's how and why they market their product.
I don't yet know what medical marijuana dispensaries are selling.

My comments did not apply to the medicinal use of substances recognized by true physicians.
But there are those who twist words for their own purposes.

Read the sticky at the top of the off-topics forum, please. I'm unable to post a link on my phone. We will not tolerate put-downs any longer. If it persists, it will be dealt with. My personal apologies for allowing it to persist as long as it has.
If a brother be overtaken in a fault (even on this webforum) restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself.
So, then, consider thyself.
