Poll: Do you support medical marijuana for people who actually need it ? ?!

I assume the second answer is being satirical, but its not true. Morphine is one hell of a pleasure coma compared to marijuana, especially when its pushed into a central line, not dripped through a reg iv.

I absolutely support medical marijuana. Not just for those with cancer and on their death bed, but I support it for most aches and pains, above tylonal, so long as you are not driving or operating heavy machinery.

Ideally, I would pull the opiate pain killers completely off the market in all but the most extreme cases (vicodin, oxy, etc) and replace them with marijuana. I am shocked by the number of people who dont care about the number of people running around with rx'es for vicodin and oxy and xanax and ativan and compazine and all kinds of other crap, but oh no, you are gonna get high with marijuana (as if the others dont make you high)



EDIT
I strongly object to people who say the only ones who want med mj are people who want to get high.

I HAVE actually had cancer. Twice. My treatment took me to hell and back.

I have had medical marijuana, plus a long list of narcotics, iv, through a central line, orally. (morphine, oxy, ativan, xanax, compazine, phenegran, etc)

Mairjuana will makes you the least high out of all them. My choice to use marijuana, not in addition, but in replace of morphine and oxy and ativan and xanax and phenegran and compazine, when possible, allowed me to be coherrent enough to have a conversation while maintaining some balance of pain, nausea and anxiety relief.

Morphine makes me so high I cant even carry a conversation.

So, no, I dont feel bad for using drugs, drugs that made me LESS high than the ones you would rather feed me.


I think this sounds far less b*tchy, but gets my point.

I dont tell people I had cancer to make them feel sorry for me. I tell them so that they know that I actually have been there, I actually do know what cancer patients might want, and I have actually had every med I have named, administered by a doctor, so I actually can compare the narcotic effects of them.

You are right in that they generally dont like being so high they cant carry a conversation. You are wrong in thinking marijuana makes you higher than morphine.

I suspect that you have either A, never had marijuana, or B, never had morphine, oxy, ativan, xanax, compazine, etc and Likely C, never had a medical condition that requires any of these meds, much less all of them handed to you by your doctor on a practically never ending string.

If you actually are on that string of meds, I feel sorry for you, knowing how much you dislike being high but are stuck on them because you close the door on your alternative. If you are a doctor, maybe you should pay attention to how high morphine makes your patients. And oxy, and the rest of that string.

If you ever want to consider it, you would probably feel safer with marinol. Its crap, but its a real rx, and its close.

.......

Besides, the truth is.... regardless of the medical condition, these meds are going to make anyone high, at normal pharmaceutical doses. The only people normal doses doesnt make high, are the people who have been on it long enough to develop tolerances.

So it really boils down to what is going to make you the least high, imo.

And yes, I realize its controversial to admit pharmaceutical meds at pharmaceutical doses make you high. But yes, they do. There isnt a magic "its not going to make me high because i have cancer" button. And they make most people (i would wager everyone) higher than mairjuana. Almost any teenager in high school can tell you that much.

Yes, I don't see the problem with legalizing pot. It can't kill you and you can't over dose. Pot is amazing at curing nausea and has way less side effects then some of these meds the doctors prescribe.

Medical marijuana patient

No. Some people might enjoy it and that is bad. Suffering is good. It is the government's duty to make sure we suffer. Fun is bad, suffering is good, its that simple.

I support legalization of everything save antibiotics, so the question's somewhat moot.

Yes I do.
Anything that gives relief to someone with a chronic or terminal illness deserves all the help they can get.

Yes, I support it.

Yes (:

No, I don't. I never met anyone who even wanted it who wasn't a stoner "before" whatever condition they had that "requires" it. An awful lot of people who would 'qualify' for conditions such as wasting (from terminal cancer) and such, simply don't like to be stoned.

Edit - - Its a shame you have cancer and a drug problem, not to mention a personality disorder where you use a disease as a tool of manipulation to make people feel sorry for you....

Or should I post what you wrote as well?
You might want to phuck yourself some more....and get some better bud.
I suspect as long as you are conscious you'll always be a b*tch.
