spruce zeus you speak very disrespectfully the med scene has been up and running for over ten years. yeah some people have med reccs for no medical reason but no more than idiots i know who pop pills all day who got there scrip from a doctor whats the difference. sativas do have medical use depression etc.. who are you to say what works and what does not and yes i know of cbd and its effects. it seems your just jealous or generally pist and would rather speak negatively about the medical scene instead of being happy cannabis laws are making a head way. its people like you and your misinformed comments that make things easier for the people against cannabis to abolish great laws like the ones being implemented in california. would you prefer people were on neat little pills from drug companies if everyone thought like you that will soon be a reality. why are you on a pro cannabis website with that attitude? the guy said something about sativas and you go off about how bad the med scene is in cali wtf. i find your comments to be offensive and way off base.
Firstly, I'd like to say that it's very hard to read your garbledeegook when you refuse to punctuate or make use of your enter key.
I for one, am offended by your pious judgement of my opinion. But I'm not crying about it.
Are you argueing that most "medical" users in california are actually using marijuana for a medical purpose?
I think you'd be hard pressed to prove that.
My point was that recreational marijuana should be legal on its own merits, and that by operating under that fallacy of medical need you're hurting both causes.
I couldn't be happier that California is progressive enough to understand that cannabis is medicine, and I only hope that it stays that way.
I am very pro-cannabis, please don't try to twist the things I'm saying. My attitude stems from my being outside of California and my ability to objectively look at what is going on there. It is my opinion that despite all the progress that is taking place there, there are too many people trying to make money and smoke dope legally and something has to give.
Agree or disagree, thats fine.
Regardless of any of this, my original diatribe was sparked by the notion that Sativas have a legitimate medical use. I'm not a doctor, so my opinion means as much as yours (nothing) but i'm of the belief that Indica based plants are more appropriate for use as medicine. Mind you, in Canada, where I am, cannabis is only perscribed in serious (generally terminal) cases.
I don't want to get into an arguement about using pot to treat mental health issues (or even the existence of certain "conditions"), but let it just be laid out there that I do not believe it to have a positive effect on unhealthy minds.
I have a very deep connection with marijuana on a physical, mental and spirtual level, I think it is a part of a healthy diet and prohibition needs to be repealed. However, I don't think we need to be dishonest with ourselves about the limitations of this plant. It is truly wonderful and a gift from god. It posseses wonderful theraputic properties. But, I wouldn't rely on it as my sole means of medicine if I were suffering from any sort of debilitating disease
I overreacted and for that I apologise, but I stand by my opinion.
You can try to sway me if you like, and I'll be happy to listen with an open mind, as long as you use punctuation.
