    Not sure if it will mend broken bones, but if you smoke enough if it, you might not care (or remember) that your bone is broken.

    You realize CBD is not psychoactive right? As in it doesn't get you high at all?

    Which is why you smoke hydroponically grown weed that they don't spray pesticides on and get your dope from a trusted source.


    Not to mention: All you bring up could be efficiently and simply cured by a legal, taxed and regulated market. See CO, or alcohol. Heard of Jakeleg? No? Wonder why? Its because booze you buy at the store is not tainted or made out of antifreeze.

    But you can homebrew beer and wine. SO its unlikely homegrowth for personal will be entirely done away with. Restricted? Sure. Done away with entirely? nope. See CO et al.

    Only pot smokers support legalizing pot.

    You realize 1) they were using extracted CBD only which is not psychoactive IE doesn't get you high? and 2) that they weren't having the rats smoke that (*)(*)(*)(*) and no one is saying smoking dope will heal a broken bone faster?

    Yep just like taking pills only better for you without the addiction.

    Very true. Only drinkers support alcohol being legal.

    Healing broken bones faster and making them stronger at the break point so you don't have a repeated fracture of the same spot which often leads to complications and as a preventative measure requires a steel plate be drilled into the bone and tendons moved if they are there (think hands and feet ). You know so I wouldn't have had to have this (*)(*)(*)(*)ing plate stuck in my hand and all my fingers would work like they're *******ned supposed to.

    Why the (*)(*)(*)(*) would we want to heal people faster and more effectively? That's just silly.

    If you need pain meds everyday you will get addicted and have withdrawals . That is a fact. If you drink alcohol everyday for pain you will get addicted and have withdrawals when you have none. And that's a fact. So explain again why pot is so bad. Oh it makes you sit on the couch and relax, then you have a great night sleep, and if there's none for morning you have no withdrawals.

    Well, it must be pretty bad if only pot smokers think it should be legal.

    By that logic alcohol must be real bad if only drinkers want it legal. So is everything people want legal bad? If so even you are screwed.

    As with all things - be responsible. If your work drug tests, you shouldn't use cannabis (or you should at least be aware of the risk of being fired).

    I tend to use daily on and off for months at a time. Weed can be surprisingly good for the first draft of a paper - it gets you thinking outside the box. Definitely write another final copy though because your language won't be up to scratch.

    As far as long term effects - if you use it daily you tend to get a bit dopey after a while, but that's always gone away for me after a week or so off the stuff.

    I envy those who can smoke each Saturday night and stick to it. I am not one of them.

    A good reason to legalize home growing for some and commercial growing that is regulated like any other crop and sold commercially where the seller doesn't want bad things in his product else it get out and he's out of business. Get it all above ground, forgive the pun.

    Who cares if an adult smokes weed or has a stiff drink at the end of the day? really?

    This is an issue where you can see who the real fascists are....

    The legalization or decriminalization of pot is a win for classical liberalism....

    See that's about money again. Know one needs electricity to grow any plant. Haven't you guys ever seen a tree? If a person grows 2 plants in the back yard no one will even know. Not even the DEA, or the guy next door. But the smart thing to do is talk to your neighbors ask them if they are ok with it. Many are. They don't want you growing $50,000 worth but a plant or two, no biggie. The feds got not time for a $500 bust, or bug your phone, or follow you around.

    The little guys have less money to fight the charges with and therefore make the more desirable targets. Plus they add to the bust/conviction numbers.

    I want to make clear that I am not a liberal (hope that didn't offend anyone). Because of my condition it is legal for me but they (the government) want paper work on me. No Thanks

    Are you part of law enforcement or have you been involved in illegal activity enough to know this for a fact. I've seen both sides and it may all depend on where you live not what state you live in.

    All one has to do is look. I'm 58 years old and the the jails are full or "little fish" used to pad the conviction rates of DA's with loftier aspirations.

    There's no evidence suggesting permanent brain damage to adults who use cannabis.
