  1. The “Medical Marijuana” of today is NOT like the Marijuana used in the 70’s and 80’s. Through Artificial Selection Experiments, strains of Marijuana have been developed by the Marijuana Drug Industry that substantially increase the potency of the Drug. As such, its’ use poses serious potential consequences.

    While this Drug is effective in treating some medical conditions; Muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis, Nausea from cancer chemotherapy, Poor appetite and weight loss caused by chronic illness, such as HIV, or nerve pain, Seizure disorders (childhood epilepsy), and Crohn’s disease. Purified extracts from whole-plant marijuana can slow the growth of cancer cells from one of the most serious types of brain tumors. Research in mice showed that treatment with purified extracts of THC and CBD, when used with radiation, increased the cancer-killing effects of the radiation (Scott KA, Dalgleish AG, Liu WM. The combination of cannabidiol and ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol enhances the anticancer effects of radiation in an orthotopic murine glioma model. Mol Cancer Ther. 2014;13(12):2955-67.)

    Scientists are also conducting preclinical and clinical trials with marijuana and its extracts to treat numerous diseases and conditions, such as the following:

    1. Autoimmune diseases (diseases that weaken the immune system): HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis (MS), which causes gradual loss of muscle control

    2. Alzheimer’s disease, which causes loss of brain function, affecting memory, thinking, and behavior
    3.Inflammation
    4.Pain
    5.Seizures
    6.Substance use disorders
    7.Mental disorders

    The FDA has not recognized or approved the marijuana plant as medicine.

    Marijuana use for Medical purpose should be supported by Scientific evidence, including Clinical Trials, and regulated by the FDA; closely monitored by the tending Physician and State Department of Health.”Medical Marijuana” should be available by Prescription only (in a Pharmacy) issued by a License Physician

    Congress should amend the Controlled Substances Act of 1970: Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. § 811). making Marijuana available for Medical Treatment.

    The major consumers of this Drug, if legalized for so-called recreational purposes, will be the younger generation; destroying the very fabric/future of our Democracy.

    This Drug should NOT be legalized for recreational purposes!!!

  3. The dude needs a spliff.

    He also needs to quit having false concern about how others choose to medicate and/or relax.

    We are all ADULTS here, correct?

  4. I can understand the free condoms if 205 passes they will need enough to fill up so many landfills at little green thinking there

  5. Given the nature of the Marijuana today, anyone who needs this now potent Drug for so called Recreational use is, pure and simple, a DRUGGIE!!!!

  7. “Given the nature of the Marijuana today, anyone who needs this now potent Drug for so called Recreational use is, pure and simple, a DRUGGIE!!!!”

    Given the nature of the statement above, anyone who would say or believe this nonsense is, pure and simple, NOT ALL THAT BRIGHT!!!!
