"but I did want to add a 'well done' BUMP!"

Me, too! I think Soros owes him a raise. Or at least a bonus.

"I think Soros owes him a raise. Or at least a bonus."

LOL. I'm sure he'll let you know when he gets a check from Soros. It'll probably be about the time you get yours from the People’s Temple.

Seems like a minor consequence compared the consequence of death when an immune-suppressed chemo patient smokes contaminated, home-grown marijuana.

Agreed ... smoked marijuana is counterindicated for such patients, as many medicines have counterindications. What's your point?

[Know your rights]

If anything, it appears to be considerably more difficult to grow high-potency marijuana than to distill alcohol."

As evidenced by ... what?

My (admittedly incomplete) knowledge of the requirements in each case.

whose current party line is that marijuana has no medicinal value

Which coincides with the conclusion reached by the medical community.

Wrong; the National Academy of Science's Institute of Medicine has pointed out the medical benefits of marijuana (while also noting the harms of smoking and opining that smoked marijuana has "no future" as a medicine ... which even if true is irrelevant to people who are sick today).

he's taught them they don't have to obey the laws they disagree with.

More specifically, that they ought not hand over Jews to be gassed even if the government under which they live tells them to. Have you taught your kids the opposite?

Directing moronic Dane-isms at me, without even the minimal backbone to ping me. Typical bobbypaulsen.

"smoked marijuana is counterindicated for such patients"

I see no such disclaimer on your posts.

[Know your rights]

I'm not dispensing medical advice.

[robertpaulsen]

As you know, no major medical organization supports smoked marijuana as medicine. None.

And that coincides with the statements in the Controlled Substances Act. Which means I'm right.

[robertpaulsen]

"I'm not dispensing medical advice."

The hell you're not. Every time you advocate smoked marijuana for medical use, you're dispensing medical advice. In some cases, deadly medical advice.

no major medical organization supports smoked marijuana as medicine.

The IOM supports its availablity for terminal patients (but also wants to require them to participate in research before they get it, which to me is ghoulish blackmail).

Utter rot. Saying marijuana should be prescribable is no more "dispensing medical advice" than saying oxycontin should be prescribable is dispensing medical advice.

[Nasty McPhilthy]

It is classified as such.

[Uriah]

Just can't wait for the Liberaltarians to chime in with justifications for pot use.



Ad they would be wrong.......why?

It heats the plant to a certain temperature that is hot enough to vaporize the THC which has a lower conversion temperature than the rest of the plant. The plant doesn't actually burn though.
