Medicinal Marijuana...

[Mister_Six]

I've been discussing this topic with everyone I can get to have an intelligent conversation with me. I tried discussing this topic with my crazy straight edge room mate but he failed epically. And as some of you know I was straight edge for quite some time but stress has gotten the better of me. Stress is part of this issue but mostly it is about the benefits of medical mary jane.

My knee is killing me and I don't want to start taking pills for it when a natural option is so readily available in my state. I said the natural word to my roomie and he said, "Well Heroin is natural too..." Is this even a fucking debate, or is this a one sided argument?! And to top it off he had the nerve to try to educate me about drugs?! I just got out of PRISON for a drug charge! Yes, opiates are "natural", they occur in a certain type of poppy plant right before they flower. But heroin is NOT a naturally occurring substance. There is a process to making Heroin into that specific form. It's amazing what you can learn from Nat Geo.

Do you see where my roomie went with this? He lumped a harmless drug into the same category as a hard core drug. I've never heard of anyone killing someone over weed, and if you think I'm joking, you really haven't met many stoners have you. You get ahold of some really good herb, you might not want to drive anywhere, but you will more than likely be fine. I don't demonize weed, I think our crime rate would go waaaaay down if we let everyone smoke it. It would really REALLY help with my pain and stomach discomfort. And as an added bonus I wouldn't feel like smacking my customers in the face, and wouldn't send the "up-tight" vibe to every woman I seem to walk past. I need weed in my life but my roomie is a douche.

How do you guys and gals feel?

Actually weed is a hallucinagen. I hope I spelled that right lol. Not a stimulent or a depressant. I know my view is tainted becaues I like to smoke good weed. Here I go anyways. I think the only reason it is illegal in the first place was because it threatened two of the biggest cash crops we had back in the days. The boy plant threatened cotten while the girl plant threatened tabacco. Weed would have knocked both of them out of the water which led the powerful people getting together and making their influence known in congress. I won't say it's harmless. It does make people lazy. You have lazy people who don't do any drugs. I know many people who smoke weed and work. Don't miss days or neglect any domestic responsibilities. I think one big attractive element to weed is that it releases chemicals in the brain that correlate with the mind being in the alpha state of brain wave activity. A state that is much more relaxing than the beta state. It takes us out of the fight or flight response we are usually in another good reaction. I think it should be legal. Look at what's legal besides cigerettes and alcohol. Talk about damage. The additives and preservatives in food that wreak havok on our immune systems. The floride and clorine in our water supplies that hardens arteries and fucks us up in other ways. The insectisides the we also digest. The perscription drugs that only get rid on symptoms and have adverse side-effects. Anti-biotics kill the good bacteria in our intestinal walls that kills the bad fungai and other life forms in us. People have made a buisness out of poisening us in many ways. Weed doesn't do half as much as the food,water and perscription drug supplies. I wonder what illnesses would weed smokers get without the other assaults on our health? My vote is yay.

I believe weed needs to become legalized. I haven't touched the stuff since college so I've had my experiences and personally believe its not a bad drug to have around, but the main reason for legalizing it would be to save lives. I don't give a hell about the people who's livelihood DEPENDS on it, or slanging it, nobody should be dependent on a drug whether its for money or stimulation. There are plenty of jobs out there that don't involve a high risk of danger and putting your family in jeopardy. In other places it might not be so bad, but anywhere along the border of Mexico you can talk to families who have had children dead for their crimes and sons who's families were slaughtered because they couldn't pay up. Sure, the business works for some people, many actually, but there are a lot of good kids who go down that road thinking that's the only thing in life ahead of them. I wouldn't normally care but when my family and friends are out there making stupid mistakes and getting themselves killed, I have to step in and state my opinion. There was this one kid in Texas who I used to hang out with alot back in the day in Junior High before I moved and lost contact with him. He was hung in his own backyard recently by a group of people he owed money to. His mother was the one who found him. She knew the situation and who he was involved with and told the police, but its not going to bring her son back. That's it. In this business its individuals who make the mistakes but its usually their families and friends who pay the price. Weed needs to be legalized.

where the hell did shugz reply go?

Anyways, I don't think Low Life Scum Bags get to dictate anything to anyone and as far as I'm concerned their only future is in a coffin or behind bars so I could give a shit less if they starve to death because they can't hack it in the real world. Real men get real jobs, not bottom feed off of druggies.

It is truly disappointing shugz that you keep such close company with misrepresentations of the human race. Most people actually work for what they want, they don't "slang dope" on the corner trying to hustle up minuscule money. You know this and it is sad to see such a bright mind like yours get fed a bunch of bull shit by worthless people. You know where you're headed, it's a place I just got out of. I hope you enjoy prison tiny one.

If you feel that's what you need to relieve yourself of unwanted stress, in all I say go for it and fuck what anyone else think.
Douches, are only good for one thing, so maybe your roomie needs to take his/her head out the snatch and see the light and maybe enjoy a snack. lol No, but serious like to compare a plant that's natural from beginning to end with something that goes through alot of chemical processing is mad ridiculous. As far as the crime rate goes, for the most part people'll be too chilled to go out and do mad shite. The only thing stoners would kill are some munchies.

there'd be alot less hospital bills for people if they just smoked weed. I mean seriously. Its not as good as vaginal juice. That stuff cures EVERYTHING! But in all seriousness, medical marijana doesn't even need the name "Medical" in it, its the best medicine in my opinion. I had been fighting an injury with a piercing (Ampallang) and i wasn't internally injured or anything. It just hurt real fucking bad, so I ended smokin and the next thing you know, no pain. Still dont have any pain. And I wouldn't consider Heroin medicine. That shit is bad, IMO.

I take hard drugs because they are the EXACT thing for which I was written a prescription. Not only that, it costs LESS. It pisses me off. Yes, I am aware of the legal issues, but the chances of getting caught are low. At best, I will drop too much weight and someone will put me into treatment.

I don't think anyone should have a say on how a person copes with their situation. If someone becomes an addict, then they had bigger problems than the drug itself. Alcohol does not equal alcoholism, weed does not equal a wasted life. Those individuals were a waste to begin with.

I'm a firm believer in medicinal marijuana. Since I started shmoking again, I've become waaaay more mellow, my stomach condition has dissappeared, and my pain has been deminished. I can finally relax a bit and take er' easy....
