Why not just plant it in the ground and use it after it grows

Because the Pharmaceutical companies have a huge and very powerful lobby and they don't want to lose any money if Pot is legalized. Once they patent pot painkillers you will see a federal Medical Pot law passed.

You left out habit forming. Opiates are both terrible and fantastic at the same time.

Why?  THC is nowhere in the same arena as most anti-inflammatories; much less opioids.

Hell; there's really no true medicinal use for weed; other than getting high (and that surely isn't medicinal).  Anti-nausea?  lol. Yeah right.  Glaucoma?   You're not shitting me.

People who like weed (including doper doctors) will fabricate any reason in the world to smoke. Just smoke.  Don't make shit up to justify your habit.

Didn't the poll here a few months ago have GD in overwhelming favor of legalization?  The problem here is the handful of vocal Reefer Madness followers.

I have an elderly friend that started taking CBD for chronic neck pain a couple of months ago. He can turn his head to look behind and look up or down now. It has worked well for him. He looks like a new man without the pain wearing him down 24/7. He says he feels better than he has in 15 years.

The feds recently classified CBD oil as a schedule 1 drug even though you can't get high off it.  Ridiculous.

Outright ban or drug companies handling it would be fine.  But the one thing we can't have, absolutely cannot have, is a person being able to grow it on their own for close to free and using it either to treat pain or recreationally.

It will be a total failure because it will neither come in a smokeable form and will more than likely not have a buzz.

My mom and dad both on them.

Dad needs 2 new knee's and has 3 discs giving him issues in his back on percocet.

Mom had a cyst form on her spinal cord, had to have a piece of vertebrae taken out to get to it, has and always has had osteoperosis bone will not heal like a normal person, has severe back pain and is on morphine and has been for about 12 years since her surgery. It was either have the surgery and not become a paraplegic or have the surgery and be able to walk and hope the bones healed correctly which they didn't now horrible pain but she can walk and make it through the day.

I hate it for both of them, it affects their personalities.

I was on percocet for about a year when I had a slipped disc and when I had my fusion came off of them cold turkey about 2 months after my surgery, I was addicted to them too it was a little rough but didn't need rehab or nothing.

I can understand how people get addicted to them especially if they affect people like me and my dad, both of us they make hyper and we feel like we can do anything, my mom and wife however go straight to sleep most of the time.

Sir, I would just like to point out something if I may.  First of all I feel for your parents and others with severe chronic pain.

But you were not an addict.  You were physically dependent.  There is a difference.  An addict is someone that takes something solely for the high or buzz and is often times willing to do unscrupulous things in order to achieve that high.

Somebody that is physically dependent is a person that took the meds for relief, and your body became adjusted to having them.  Meaning it was a hard come down similar to what an addict would have.  But you quit taking them and worked through it.  Physical dependency can lead to addiction, and it may sound like I'm splitting hairs, but I promise I'm not.  There is a difference.

I don't care either way.  None of my business.  Just like IDC if 1/3 of people want to get drunk at night. As Long as they handle their business so what.  Only the busy body, high horse, social crusaders are concerned with such things.

I have a pal who makes willie nelson look like a lightweight smoker, who also has a lot of pain (medically retired army/navy man).   He insists to me that it does nothing for pain, he just likes the buzz....    I dunno, I don't give a damn either way as long as folks are responsible with it.  

I think the medical angle is just that....   a crack in the armor to get it legalized....   whatever....
