Why were you “unemployable?” That’s an interesting angle.

the legal market getting even stronger

Ahhhh...gotta love the smell of capitalism!

for a product that is proven destructive

Destructive? Lol. Life is destructive. The worst destruction I've done on weed is destroying the leftovers in the fridge.

I love Donald, but “ virtue” was not one of his strengths.

There is no such thing as a “pristine corner of society.” Vagrancy restrictions not being enforced is a whole ‘nother thing.

I never said Trump was virtuous, nor did Trump ever say that. What he said many times is we have to be virtuous in order to have a great country. He was not going to lead the country, he was there to run the country and make it great.

Because I suffered from severe depression, anxiety & insomnia symptoms. All explained in detail in the video I provided a link to.

It’s not an “angle” but a fact.

Assuming that the weed in your life does actually contribute something to your health regimen, does the exception justify the rule?

Theft financially enriches some thieves, improving their lives. So, should we make theft legal on that basis?

No different than what they did to China with the Opium Dens.

They have a long memory.

You cannot build a free republic out of drug addicts.

Nor alkies - yet the legality of their drug is the better choice. Nation-of-addicts demagogery is pearl-clutching rubbish - and steadfastly ignores the easily observed harms of criminalization.

I am not an exception. I see 100’s of others who’s health & wellbeing is dependent on medical marijuana just in my local area. Most are chronic pain sufferers who get great relief from cannabis without the horrible side effects of narcotics.

Whatever you do DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO I LINKED FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING NEW!

You present a nonsensical argument. It’s not up to authoritarians like yourself to decide for me or anyone else how to best take care of their health. It’s not for you to decide for me what is or is not sinful behavior.

The reality is this: every time I’ve followed “standard treatment-standard of care” I’ve gotten sicker, fatter & suffered a very poor quality of life. Every time I’ve gone against the “standard of care” my quality of life has drastically improved. It’s never going to be up to you to decide what’s best for me, my family or my neighbor’s health.

Theft in and of itself violates the rights of another; marijuana use does not in and of itself violate anyone's rights.

Hundreds?! No, you don’t. You simply don’t. Not rational to know that many people well enough to claim to know that. Just stop lying.

You know its a fallacy to act like you know what someone else has & has not seen when you have zero evidence to the contrary. ASSumptions just lead to making an ass of yourself in public. Congrats!

Since you’ve never met me you have no idea how many people I know & associate with your statement/accusation is a non-sequitur.

It’s also a sign of mental weakness to accuse someone of “lying” when you have zero evidence they have done so.

You authoritarians on the right aren’t much different than the arrogant authoritarian psycho’s on the left.

Whatever you do, don’t watch the video. Your cognitive dissonance might harm you if you do hehe!!!

You know perhaps two, maybe a half dozen, people who use cannabis for medical reasons, because the percentage of the population which this describes is meager, making it impossible for you to know “hundreds.” You’d have to know tens of thousands of people intimately to personally know hundreds who get unique relief from pot products.

Don’t insult my intelligence.

Cognitive dissonance on display. You poor miserable creature.

Because my experience doesn’t jive with your closed minded view of the world your “intelligence is insulted”...

Poor thing.

Stay ignorant at all costs, k?

Interviewed by Mikhaila Peterson here...you should ignore this at all costs https://youtu.be/el1dyKjNbAo

Interviewed by Ivor Cummins ignore this: https://youtu.be/Ez7_sKJTtQ4

Interviewed by Dr Brian Lenskes. You best ignore this one at all costs because it includes my faith journey as well: https://youtu.be/WPBZGoIdYkM

I predict your commitment to maintaining your ignorance won’t allow you to watch a minute of any of this.

P.S. I used to write & speak daily with 100’s of people as I used to admin the what was at one time the largest Florida Medical Marijuana Patient support group from 2015-2017. I did talk to tens of thousands. My health journey has been seen by tens of thousands of people. Thanks for the chance to share.

Fake sins, fake God, self righteousness wrapped in a I know nothing but I’m telling you the way out how to.live coccoon,

Not in the big 10...I’ve known police doctors lawyers all of the elite that used Marijuana recreationally and are retired and fine, but this is not an endorsement either..plenty of drawbacks if folks let anything take over their lives, one odd example is man thinking he knows God.. I believe personally but the church and world is almost not even recognizable in what Christ said, things like the birds of the field don’t sow or reap for food why does man of little faith ..

I think man knows nada and is destroying the world personally...maybe crucifixion of pot heads would work, new traditional form of the pharasee fake, and cheap labor, non hemp wafers only
Lol....lol...

Sadly degenerate potheads are spiking others’ air with this filthy drug, and degrading the culture with its moronic mentality. Rcriminalization will be the true high once the backlash hits.
