Christie pressed to OK medical pot for children
Gov. Christie has received 1,500 faxes over the last three weeks urging him to sign a bill that would ease the requirements children must meet before they can use medical marijuana, say the parents of a 2-year-old who has a severe form of epilepsy.
So far, the governor has issued no response, but at previous news conferences, he said he was “not inclined” to let children have marijuana.
The picture is misleading. It can be in food and even in pill form. Would it make people more comfortable to see sick children with pills?
My mother died from lung cancer. She did not like to take oxycodone for pain relief and the enormous container of pills sat on her nightable. I wish that she had the option to try medical marijuanna. I would not wish her misery on anyone.
Why are we more afraid of medical marijuanna than vicodin and oxycodone?
1. No one is “afraid” of medical marijuana
2. “Medical” marijuana is a farce.
No legitimate drug is sold in boutique stores under cutesy names where you choose your own dosage and strength. Joke and a farce.
If you want to legalize marijuana, just do it. Don’t insult everyone’s intelligence by trying to masquerade it in through the back door as a “medicine” – nudge, nudge, wink, wink
It eases the pain of suffering people. It could be used as an alternate to oxycodone. Don’t be so concerned about what it is called. Do you think that if it had better marketing it would be acceptable? Maybe an advertising agency doing some market testing?
You really are afraid of it. Your phobia should not limit the choices of others.
#1:
1) because it has not been patented and developed by a major pharmaceutical company and can not yield profits as such
2) because there is a lot of money to be made from the incarceration of offenders in for-profit prisons
3) because fucking hippies
But seriously, once the money starts rolling in, the stuff will become generally accepted and even legalized. It is mind boggling that this is the one issue that the Federal Government won’t relinquish to State Sovereignty.
