If marijuana DID have to go through the same FDA process all other medicinal products have to go through, it would never be approved.The reason is that for every trace of THC, it contains other stuff that is […]

I will probably never agree with your every point, Linda. However, your assertion that the pot lobby and special interests is about avarice and making money under the guise of sincere concern for patients in pain […]

“If medical marijuana advocates truly believed that marijuana has medicinal value then why don’t they do the required research and submit it to the FDA for evaluation? ”

Because the Fed wont allow any […]

The problem I have with the argument is that is convoluted and contrived to mean that it is harmless, not a danger to the public safety, and even goes so far as to say “it’s good for you.” It ignores the most […]

In a moment that shall go down in history, the person whose opinion is closest to mine is…. LLM.

Catpaw, one can debate over whether using marijuana for medical purposes or other purposes should be […]

It should be legalized, and taxed…..unfortunately, it won’t solve the deficit spending problem we have in Sacramento.

Without “medical” marijuana, full legalization would not be possible. If it was ever truly about helping the ‘sick’ and ‘dying” as Prop 215 advocates would have liked us to believe back in 1996, they would be […]

The words that come to mind are ‘wrongful termination’.

And here we […]

Preference and lifestyle is one thing; hypocrisy is quite another. I’m sure everybody who imbibes alcohol does not become an alcoholic, nor do I think everyone who uses tobacco contracts cancer, no does everybody […]

“So, when I hear someone argue that substance abuse should be a “right,”

So, you like to look down your nose at people who drink? people who smoke cigarettes? Children that take children’s Tylenol because […]

Anybody who argues for the right to be a pothead is like saying they have a right to be an idiot. I am burned out with the “medicinal” and “recreational” premise aspects of its use, as pot smoking has neither […]

Do you drink coffee?
Smoke cigarettes?
Drink alcohol?
OTC cough medicine?
Tell me Linda, are you a slave to starbucks?

If so, you partake in drugs yourself.

Are you seriously going to talk about freedom and drug use at the same time? How could you possibly be free when you are a slave to an illicit drug? Come on Lima, you couldn’t possibly buy what you are saying. […]

He is a free man Linda,
not funny, serious

Interesting. Questioning witnesses all of a sudden becomes false imprisonment according to Rodriguez. That seems like a stretch to me, but, ok. The fact that they were instructed by law enforcement NOT to post […]

Think, the timeline and the accounts appear in my link, and are duplicated in part within notatroll’s comment.

To my knowledge, the account is undisputed.

Do everyone of those ‘close to a thousand families’ teach their children to HATE LE? No, of course not, my argument with your statement is that it is a gross generalization and wrong.
Read the accounts again, […]

AD-I could be mistaken, but I don’t recall reading any account whereas the officers barged into their homes.

I’m aware of my biases, Groucho. None of us can claim to be Vulcan. ‘isms’ of any nature are difficult to gauge and pinpoint as to the root of such beliefs; such beliefs as that police intentionally target […]
