Medical marijuana...it's becoming accepted by old and young?

[Mantis]

@Heart2Soul The fact that pharmaceutical companies can make such huge amounts of money via conventional meds might go a way to explain why they have a vested interest in not doing more research into possible medical benefits -under a safe and legal framework - of marijuana.

I think big pharma is terrified of marijuana. It could erase profit for them because patients won’t need their drugs if cannabis helps them. They can grow it at home.

@Mantis Sometimes seniors and ill people go to Mexico or Canada and can buy the same meds. as in the US for only 1/20th of the cost; just goes to see how astronomical are some of the pharmaceutical profits.....

Yes true.

If you are a smoker and one is trying to give it up, do not smoke in their presence. Things like this should be no brainers

@Nancy Good point, yes, indeed.....

Not the only danger. As a teenager, the first time I ever smoked Mary's iguana as a teenager, the first thing I did was grab a huge mixing bowl and ate an entire box of Lucky Charms to myself and fell asleep.

Yes I think I did the same thing after the 4 hour laughing stopped. I laughed so much it was painful.

@FluffyYellowDuck So is that what you call marijuana....?

Lol yes

I refuse to use most of the other slang like "pot" or "green" because it just lacks professionalism and also it reminds me of this couch:

I am not sure how I feel about medical marijuana but I have 3 family members (age 24-78) all of which suffered some kind of chronic disease....one of them was taking 5 blood pressure medications and they still couldn't get her blood pressure under control.
She has been taking medical marijuana in a liquid form and her blood pressure has been normal for.the past 8 months......
The other 2 members suffered chronic fibromyalgia and neuropathy......and had to stay on strong pain medication in order to just get around the house.
Now both are off the pain meds and strictly take medical marijuana in gummie form.

I asked God how can something like marijuana cure or treat so many ailments....yet cause so many problems?

Now I am not advocating for anyone to start using it...I am just so naive about it and would like some input.

Doesn't everything have it's good and bad side?
God made the first of everything...
It's how we use it that counts.
Be thankful for it.

Mary's iguana lol.

 

[DuckieLady]

Mary's iguana lol.

I'm amazed it took everyone a week to notice that. Lol

 

[post]

Yes this is what I am trying to work out in how I view it.
To me it shouldn't be both good and bad....but then again food can be both good and bad....hmmmm

even water is poison if you breathe it

Might’ve been better off eating styrofoam packing peanuts.

My dad was offered medical marijuana for first his glaucoma and later for the cancer. He turned it down both times. I wonder if it would’ve made his passing a little easier?

@Lambano It would not surprise me if your wife also came across the medical marijuana option when she was going through her illness, of which she is now blessedly free.

It wasn’t legal in my state at the time. (Still isn’t.) Standard anti-nausea drugs were sufficient anyway.
