I don’t have any problem stopping every cent of support for anybody who is physically capable of working but doesn’t- especially with the current low unemployment rate.
Genuinely disabled or unable to find a job is one thing; unwilling to clean up to pass a test and/or simply unwilling to work- starve to death in the street for all I care.
It’s just the same imbeciles claiming that pot makes a person unproductive who also bitch and gripe about cannabis smokers such as Gates and Zuckerman, Bloomberg or Branson - while one might dislike their politics they give the lie to the crap about cannabis users being unable to function in society
I take it from your post you think it is a good idea for the government to outlaw pot smoking. Do you imagine that most posters who disagree with you smoke pot?
I’d guess the group of those who disagree with you has a high percentage of libertarian leaners. I’d also guess that the percentage of pot smokers on this forum who post disagreeing messages is close to zero.
I know all that. My wife has two prescriptions (from her primary physician, a real doctor:
For arthritis:
Celebrex, Pot.
The doctor told her to only take the Celebrex if she’s having a really bad day and pot isn’t getting the job done. The doctor says the Celebrex is much worse for her than the pot, and she’d rather have the wife smoking pot than taking Celebrex.
I don’t care about comparing the two myself. Opioid use needs to stand on it’s own as a good idea or a bad one. I know a lady who was recovering from cancer and was put on opioids. She said she went through hell for 6 months getting off them.
Too late John.
These folks will NEVER rest until they can get every drug known to man to be available in McDonald’s style drive-through businesses.
I knew a guy who was getting opioids from multiple doctors for “recreation”, but really because he was addicted. After 25 years of that he was taking about 5 times normal dose a day. He’s dead, heart failure at 67.
I of course can’t speak to how much effect on his heart was due to the drugs. He liked Vicodin, I know that.
Says who? The same lying government reporting about child gun deaths? The same lying government that reports the extreme number of alcohol related accidents? Im sorry I just dont believe this bullshit, and for good reason. I bet the number of legally prescribed overdoses is no where near that number. There is an agenda here and once again it has nothing to do with the good of the people.
If you are going to believe whatever you please with no evidence, just your “feelz”, fine with me, I don’t care.
That attitude is rampant everywhere today about everything.

Search is your friend and education. There was a page more of sources.
My doctor is deaf about opioids.
Its funny how even puffing on an e-cig send libs into a frenzy but filling a room with mariguana smoke is just fine.
Federal Government should get out of health care altogether except the protection from epidemic communicable disease.
House?
“This person isn’t a doctor and has no business writing this article.”
I’m not either but could have written the same thing about the filthy government meddling in personal medical matters. My hope is that every politician/bureacrat responsible themselves suffer grievous chronic pain.
Hypocrite?
I ask you specifically about weed.
“Never heard of death by marijuana overdose.”
Yeah, but you may die of self-righteous Smugness
Maybe not. However, stoned people kill people on roads. DUI’s from weed have risen. Not good.
BTW you can smoke dog shit, or snort booze, for all I care..as long as I don’t have to pay for an medical issues that result from doing so.
This is what you posted and I asked for a source.
Emergency rooms were deluged with psychotic problems when Colorado legalized. One kid freaked out and jumped out a window to his death and another one thought he could fly.
The pelt with links you posted is non-responsive to your comment I inquired about.
Psychosis is not a typical result of smoking pot.
Best case scenario the death of people using drugs is natural selection and weeds (pun intended) out the weakest of the species.
