    It can make you feel good and feeling good improves healing. Petting a dog or cat will do the exact same thing. If a rock makes you feel good, the effects of that rock are the same as a joint.

    It can't make me smarter. Such stupid statements of studies just prove how fool and naive smokers are to believe these studies.
    I smoke weed some times and I felt becoming slower at my mental activity. I am sure weed is not for me...

    Obviously, no one read the article. The component of marijuana that was studied is CBD, which is non-psychoactive. So, you won't flunk a drug test, and it won't make you "feel better." There is no one so naïve as to dismiss a scientific study based on personal bias against a drug.

    Indeed it can heal a broken heart. Back in 1968 my hippee chick girlfriend broke up with me. I was in the pits of depression, but later that night her best friend, a gorgeous hippy chick turned up at my door with this big cheech and chong sized doobie, Acupulco Gold. As I nursed on that joint and she nursed on my joint suddenly a little time later my broken heart was healed. I ended up marrying her a few years later.

    The powers of good herb is just amazing.

    Here's how it is for some people. If a person has a chronic illness or pain they can be not in there right mind and a little slower on the pills the doc gives you or weed. Your choice but I don't know what the hell is in those pills.

    If one buys weed from someone else ya don't know what the hell the grower sprayed on it to keep the pests like spider mites, thrips, aphids, white flies and caterpillars off the plants, all of which will eat the pot as it grows. One also doesn't know what the hell the grower sprayed on it to keep the diseases like botrytis, powdery mildew, leaf septori and rust off it either. The goal for the grower is the biggest yield possible. Who know what sort of chemical compounds are created when pesticides/fungicides are burned.

    You are right. Grow your own organic marijuana. Most people have a house plant and pot is easy to grow. 2 plants can keep most high for a year. The greed to grow the most is because of big business. The government need not be involved. BTW mint plants help keep many bugs out of plants, including spider mites.

    The healing power of CBDs is only now becoming known. How many stories of people with chronic (heh) seizures who's re-seizure rates drop like a stone in water upon ingestion of cannabis high in CBDs (and generally low in THC)

    ...and get you arrested and put in jail as a political prisoner. Other than that it is safer than alcohol and tobacco 10 times fold or more.

    I sense some of you didn't even read the article.

    Pot is not a plant you want to grow in your house. Unless you LIKE the smell of skunk spray.

    You don't have to grow it in doors and all pot does not smell like skunk. Some even smells fruity. I was just trying to make the point that it is easy to grow.
    As a teen I smoked some but quit before I was out of high school, around 1981. Well life happened things changed over the years. Now I'm 50 and disabled for years now. Was drinking to much because of pain and depression and I can get morphine from the doc but I don't like that stuff plus withdrawals ( I've gone through many times) sucks. I always felt weed should be legal just never smoked it and thought the whole "it helps with this and that" was B.S. But decided to try it and now I see that it does help. I just didn't know it before because nothing was wrong with me. That being said I like to be sober because my mind is much clearer, but at the end of the day it makes life much easier with no health risk that I know of. I eat it. Any one hungry? lol
    P.S. I am not a liberal I'm closer to a redneck.

    "The Times of Israel reports that researchers at Tel Aviv University found that rats with broken bones healed much quicker when given the non-psychotic marijuana component, cannabidiol or CBD."

    well that is just stupid then isn't it, if this is true, why should you be fired for taking your medicine

    proof the war on drugs ruins more lives then the drugs themsevles

    Legalization will inevitably lead to Big Tobacco taking over Big Pot, the big government types will see it as a new revenue stream.. They have the money and the clout to do what Big Alcohol did.....corner the market. You can bet along with legalization "of use" growing your own will become VERY illegal. Having a still can land you in jail unless you meet all the regulations and have prior approval of paperwork to operate a distilled spirits plant.

    You will pretty much have to buy Marijuana like you currently do with Cigarettes, from commercial growers. Of course like with tobacco, they will add fillers and chemicals so you'll need to smoke a whole lot just to get a good buzz going, regulations will dictate the THC content of each joint. Once Big Coroporations and Big Government team up to get involved, you're not going to like the results. It happened already with Tobacco and Alcohol. The worst part is you'll never be able to go back again either. Big Pot (formerly tobacco companies) have the kind of money to pump into Congress to make sure you'll never go back. You'll see sin taxes on pot rise because the Government smells a new revenue stream and don't get caught with "non sanctioned" weed either, they'll put you away to the grave. Then there's a thing called "property Forfiture" which will work nicely when you owe huge fines and back taxes for growing your own that will surely be written in the national legalization law. Seriously, when was the last time you heard of alcohol or tobacco bootleggers? There's a reason for that. ;)

    Again you are right, but your really talking about money. If you make alcohol and grow weed for your own use not money the likelihood of getting in trouble is very low. I can get both within 10 min if I want it. The government creates criminals.

    Yes, I am talking about money. Property seizure is quite lucrative for the Government, just another great revenue stream. That won't change, they'll take everything you have.

    One can get away with it with alcohol, but Pot requires electricity hogging grow lights. That shows up on your electricity bill.

    No pot does not require all that. Big indoor pot businesses do, but again we are talking about money. Anyone can grow a few plants right next to there tomatoes.

    I think this issue is something that most of us on the liberal and conservative side can rally around. Whether you like weed or not, the fact that it can land you in jail is just stupid. Employers can decide their own policy. I'm glad my company doesn't have a drug test policy and I still make more than the national average.
