Come on now....this isn't about drug users....it's about medical marijuana now being used by both young and old and it's acceptance in society.
The fact that my own cousin who suffered chronic hypertension and used to take 5....FIVE....blood pressure medications to try to control it says a lot to me....
Even the 5 pills didn't get it to a healthy normal range....doctors were considering adding another medication on top of what she already took until one doctor suggested trying medical marijuana...
She takes in a liquid form....and for 8 months now her blood pressure has been NORMAL....and the doctors are amazed at how well it is working versus the pills...5 of them...
So my thought about it is still uncertain but when it is right in front of you what argument do I have?
I understand your point, but it was not my point. All do respect Lady Heart2Soul.
Even the Mayo Clinic will tell that the use of marijuana as a painkiller or for other medical problems is just now being researched. And they list the bad side effects.
But there is enough personal testimonies that would suggest that it does have some benefits.
I do not think that anyone is arguing that point. And my conversation with Mantis is not about pills.
It is about smoking pot and he is trying to get me to believe that this horrible chronic pain can be relieved with smoking marijuana. I explained that it is between him and God and no one should judge. My concern is with smoking marijuana and driving. If you are going to smoke enough of it to relieve horrible chronic pain then you are not in any condition to drive....chronic pain...day after day.
They are attempting to extract elements of cannabis to treat various ailments without the high. I guess CBD is part of that. LOL But no one is standing in line for that....they want the stuff that gives the high.
I have more experience with this than a I want....that is just the way it goes...some humorous.
Had a fellow helping my daughter move. He is in the front yard and I go to introduce myself. The window was open and I reached in to shake his hand. The smell of pot was so strong that it burnt my eyes. So I say, Having a good time? He chuckles and says, Don't worry I have my medical card. So I respond with, And your prescription says specifically it is ok to drive? He gives me the deer in the headlights look. I told him that he needed leave my daughter alone or he was going to need a lot more pain killers.
