Jeff Sessions has vowed to crack down on marijuana - GMDino - 05-06-2017 Trump and Sessions, in typical low-education think, say they will ingore everything and do what they want because, uh...they know more than everyone else? https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-05-05/trump-may-ignore-congressional-protections-for-medical-marijuana Quote:Trump Spurns Congress as He Signals Medical Marijuana Fight Must be hard for folks like Trump and Sessions. They are so used to bullying their way and then they find out they legally can't. RE: Jeff Sessions has vowed to crack down on marijuana - oncemoreuntothejimbreech - 05-06-2017 This is disappointing to the patients who could benefit from medical marijuana. The DEA needs to reschedule marijuana from a Schedule I substance to a Schedule II so meaningful research can be done instead is Jeff Session repeating ignorant propaganda from the 1930s. Last Week Tonight on HBO recently did a piece on marijuana. Theu showed a veteran in Kentucky testifying that marijuana treats his PTSD more effectively and with less side effects than what the VA doctors prescribe (some of which are more addictive than weed, xanax for example.). But, VA doctors being federal employees can't legally write prescriptions for medical marijuana he could fill in another state. But, if he did it would be a crime to bring it back home to Kentucky. It's a mess. Anyone interested should give it a watch.

To be fair Sessions thinks the 1930's was when America was great...and he wants to help make America Great again. Secondly, I agree wholeheartedly. RE: Jeff Sessions has vowed to crack down on marijuana - bfine32 - 05-06-2017 I've expressed my views on the legalization of marijuana on here before. I watched my mother-in-Law return from chemo as she battled cancer. She was so sick I had to carry her out of the car and into the bed. For this the Doctors prescribed her a marijuana pill (Marinol?). The pill was $70 dollars a dose. I could take about a 60 minute drive and get her a whole oz of feel better for about $40. It is absolutely ridiculous that the drug is not available for medicinal purposes and I feel it should be legal for recreational use.

In another thread I shared how my college roommate (now a doctor) was just dead set against legalization at all. It took years but he finally has come around. At least for the medical part. His main concern was all the addictive personalities that would get hooked on it. My argument is they will get addicted anyway. Better to have something that is (relatively) harmless helping others too. Sorry about your mother in law. It's a damn shame that we have a natural drug that can do more for less but the federal government is living in the 1930's about it for some reason.

I'm going to assume she was on some sort of narcotic for pain. The anti-marijuana people like Sessions cite health reasons like addiction why marijuana should be illegal, but the narcotics we prescribe to treat pain in cancer patients can have the same negative effects. The DEA schedule of marijuana prevents meaningful marijuana research to educate people like Sessions. The worst part is the patients are denied a potential palliative treatment to ease their suffering. Very frustrating.

Trump and Sessions are the peoples champions. Lock them up! lock them up! RE: Jeff Sessions has vowed to crack down on marijuana - SunsetBengal - 05-06-2017 Dude, it's purely for medicinal purposes.. RE: Jeff Sessions has vowed to crack down on marijuana - Rotobeast - 05-07-2017 I do not partake, but I would literally fight against this. |
