It's pretty clear that MJ use creates paranoia. Many of its users actually believe there's a conspiracy afoot to use MJ prohibition as an excuse for a massive governmental power grab.

Clue ~ the guys banning MJ already have the power ~ all of it! Their purpose is to ban MJ.

Course they have the power. Sometimes it's good to remind our fellow citizens that they have that power, cuz we let them have that power. Maybe my fellow citizens don't have a problem with it, because it's not their ox getting gored by it.

MJ is not my ox, but I know a goring when I see one. My ox was a toddler that got an earache on a weekend. His eardrum ruptured, green stuff was oozing out & he was spiking a high temp. His mother took him to a hospital emergency room. After waiting hours, a doctor finally looked at the child & witnessed the worst ear infection that he had ever seen. Because he didn't have the child's chart & couldn't trust the mother's account of the child's history of ear aches, he sent the child home without treating him!!! When the mother could finally get the child seen by his usual doctor, the doctor prescribed the medicine, in the dose that was refused from the emergency room doctor. That antibiotic prescription allowed refills & I'm talking about a multi-spectrum antibiotic, not your basic amoxicillin. If you do now know how rare that is, ask any pharmasict if they've ever seen one.

Take into account the extra suffering by that young child & add what correct treatment cost that family... No, I am not that mother. A bunch of old hippys wanna get high, that's no big deal, in face of the rest of the issue.
