Medical Marijuana

Once again I find myself with the Viking on this part of the issue. Medical marijauna is one thing, recreational marihuji is another. I am all in favor of making it available for medical reasons. Its medicinal benefits should not be legislated against. Recreational use of it. I really don't care who does what with it as long as it does not impact me. Personally, I do not need it to get high naturally. I can do that by climbing a mountain or living where I do.

I sure as hell would not want to share the road with anyone even buzzed on alcohol or some other form of drug. Both debilitate. Both ruin lives through addiction as well as contributing to accidental deaths. We know those headlines that evoke deep empathy. This is the crux of the dilemma really, moral issues aside. Insufficient responsible action exists among many users and that is when someone steps in to legislate against it and tells you what you need to do. This is where I rail against all who assume matters necessary for my life. If we had better ways of dealing with impaired irresponsibility, legislation would be mute. Road issues could be handled with "sniffers" on cars that lock out impaired drivers. That keeps those people off the roads and away form jobs unless the manage to walk there. It's a fundamental problem and I can see users railing against someone like me suggesting the use of sniffers to keep them from harm. The harm is not limited to risk to themselves but others around them is my justifying argument. Go ahead and drink or smoke or inject what you want in the privacy of your domain. I care only when it impacts others.

I am leaning in Viking and RockDoc's direction on this also.
Even though....if my neighbor wants to sit on his back porch and smoke a doobie after work or on a Sunday afternoon and he is not operating the riding lawnmower..... I ain't gonna rush in and turn him in.

I was not advocating that anyone drive under any influence, legal prescription meds are a huge problem behind the wheel, I just think that alcohol makes most people more reckless than pot. Rage guy is the worst and they are usually technically sober

Everyone on my street is a caregiver and they are fighting over me to sign on as a patient..I'm playing one against the other in order to get a large signing bonus.

I have a little trouble sleeping sometimes..

Medical marijuana is just the camel putting his nose in the tent. They really want legalization for everyone.
And I am for it, but I think these out of control dispensaries handing out free samples with dancing leaves outside the door is hurting my cause.

They are handing out free samples? Where?

Oh please- ever watch a sporting event? It's all beer commercials.

Good point about the beer companies. It must be expectations. I thought when medical marijuana passed, those in need would go to pharmacies and get their hermetically sealed doses. I didn't know they would be able to pick from different varieties and take home every thing from brownies to rice krispie treats.
