For the religious consider this; Jesus's first miricle was turning water into wine, and not just any wine, it was kick ass wine, according to weding guest. Cannabis is one of the ingredients in the anointing oil that Jesus was anointed with, hence the name Christ, whinch means the anointed one. It was called Kanna Bossum. Ancient Greek for cannabis. If that's not enough then turn to the first book and first chapter of the bible. Genises 1:29 says that God created all plants bearing seed for food ( hemp seed is one of the most nutritious foods on the planet) and it has plenty of seeds, at least when in it's natural habatat. As to the other group I mentioned. Get a life. The drug dealers and DEA, are against legalizing for the same reason. Profit. A better use of the DEA would be to go after the faux companies ripping off medicare and medicade to the tune of millions a week.

I am now on percocet and valium still don't like the side affects or how much i have to take to get relief. Every now and then I get a little weed to smoke and my outlook on life is so much better. Not so much pain and I feel like I can function without feeling like I am in a mental fog. Unfortunatly the only way for people like Mr. lane to ever find out the true benefits of such treatment is to have to live the experience of pain and what works best to releve it.

I would never partake in one, but they better get this country back on track to keep their power. In fact, I don't even care about giving government some control IF they use common sense when making and enforcing laws. To post Number 114:

Could you prescribe me a mild medication for a short time to help me through my day? Doctor: Well lets see.... we've got.... Amitriptyline, Butriptyline, Clomipramine, Desipramine, Dosulepin, Xanax, Adderall...... Patient:You've been talking for about a minute now about all these drugs that may be effective for my condition, but also have potentially serious side effects for the small malady that I have. Could you please write me a prescription for a more of a light drug, such as marijuana? Everyone knows that it has barely any, if not any, negative side effects and a drug such as that seems like a better choice over the more powerful drugs that you're suggesting. Doctor: The devil's weed? bah humbug!!!!!!!!!!!! leave the office or I'm calling the cops!!!!!!!!! Patient:....................... It seems we live in a horribly written Saturday Night Live Skit,

They allow stupid idiots to get drunk around children. It is legal to purchase alcohol with children, it`s legal to get drunk around children in stadiums and at home. And unless the child reports abuse, these drunken idiots continue to enjoy the freedom of using this liquid drug around children. Does the FDA approve these evil acts as well? Because we all know what would happen if you smoke a joint at a football game whether children are there or not. They don`t care if you are sober or high they just commence to destroying your life. Enough of this alcohol-pharma-coalition of powerful baby-raper society!!! First you need to get drugs away from children. What message do these idiots think they are sending to children by allowing drunkenness around children. Broken bottles, drunk drivers killing thousands. I don`t use alcohol. And I don`t use anything around children. Can the hypocrites at the FDA say the same? Can most of our society say the same? No! So again stop the medical B.S. and put marijuana on the table with alcohol,along with the hypocrites in charge that abuse alcohol. I`m sure most people in the FDA use alcohol around children.
