Pure cocaine is very commonly used in eye surgery.
Morphine surrets, a kind of small foil toothpaste tube with a needle attached, has been used on battlefields for decades.
Morphine and heroin are excellent painkillers, and yes are still used, most commonly morphine in last stage hospice pain managemet,(i.e., doped until you pass away)
It is also the viewpoint of millions of conservatives that the federal government has no Constitutional say in regulating or restricting California's actions here if the pot in question does not cross state lines. That's the great thing about our government works (or least how it used to work) - if you don't like the pot laws in California, there are other states with more restrictive laws.
Federal regulation of porn and pot rely on the same open-ended interpretation of the Commerce Clause the New Deal and all of Obama's stimulus and reform programs do. As long as he keeps the Republicans talking about wanting federal regulation of those under the "substantial effects" doctrine there's no grounds for them to make any kind of constitutional challenge to his programs.
I doubt prohibition for the entire country would work anywhere near as well.
Medicinal alcohol.
Of course there is. I keep a bottle of it as a disinfectant.
If I grew up in a socialist/welfare plantation, constantly immersed in the mindset of ghetto/projects/reservations/Democrat/Socialist mind think.....I’d drink my self blind too.
Australia has a history of socialism. Further the aborginioes can be thought of as either our urban/detroit/oakland/ black urban walking dead or American Indian reservation/plantation serfs. Another group, just to dispel the race element is of course Russians under Soviet socialism. So too the Irish under British paternalism.
Where ever you find velvet gloved socialism, you find dispiritism and alcoholism in mass amounts.
I think it means his/her vanity is posted here only on Freerepublic.
Bad example? Morphine is definately used commonly in hospitals.
religious nanny-statism? how is that different from any other for of communism?
Exactly.
Republicans want their un-constituional cake and eat it too.
So how is your bong this morning?
Respondents Diane Monson and Angel Raich use marijuana that has never been bought or sold, that has never crossed state lines, and that has had no demonstrable effect on the national market for marijuana. If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything–and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers.
Doug, I see it didn’t take long for the Liberals to show up and start flaming on ya.
End the War on (Some) Drugs!
Have you stopped raping llamas yet?
Thank you for your answers. Of course there is a medicinal use for these items. And thank God for the pain killing effects of the opium derivatives. I do not believe that there is no use for marijuana as a pain killer, and if a Doctor told a patient to use it, then so be it. (Sigh, and yes, living in California, I am aware also of the issue of caregivers and “medical marijuana prescriptions”.)
so you are ok with a meth house next door to you?
No. It does not help.
Perhaps if you explain why porn should be a Constitutional Right. Or why drugs should be legalized. Or why abortion laws are fine as they are now.
