Both of my in-laws went through Chemo and Radiation at Henry Ford Hospital and, four years later, are going gangbusters. Hair grown back and leading an active lifestyle at age 80-something. I'm watching Tony Iommi, Founding Member and lead guitarist for Black Sabbath, go through it somewhat publicly, and though he's gotten frail and lost his hair, he's finishing a new album and planning an Australian tour. On the other hand, you had Ronnie James Dio diagnosed with cancer, gone through the treatments, and dead six months later. Your emotions try to make you feel better about your loss. But the reality is you can't save everyone, even those who have the money and resources to have the finest treatment. I'm sure Ronnie James Dio had three dozen people tell him, every day, that "Pot cures cancer" and I'd bet the farm that he tried it. Still dead. What about Steve Jobs? How did the alt.medicine work out for him? The end of the day: We are Mortal and we will die. The statement "Pot Cures cancer" is invalid, since cancer people with access to pot are dying in droves. It sullies the waters of valid research when Potheads make statements like this. It makes the whole thing look silly. It scares away the money that might go towards research. :ritd:"You've been left on your own, like a Rainbow in the Dark" -Ronnie James Dio:ritd: |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 26795689 United States 03/03/2013 02:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Okay but how does this address the main subject of the discussion at hand? The point is that THC/cannabis has significant/substantial medicinal applications and yet the Federal government classifies it as a Schedule 1 narcotic (meaning no accepted medicinal uses) yet as I demonstrated above with the RT News video, the FDA mails medical marijuana to 4 U.S. citizens..... Irv Rosenfeld proved to a Federal judge that he would go blind if he did not consume marijuana due to his glaucoma and he proved it with the testimony of his doctors.... Why is Irv Rosenfeld 1 of ony 4 U.S citizens out of 300 million who is permitted federally approved access to a drug that saves his eye sight and provides for his health and well being? Quoting: ANHEDONIC I could've sworn there were other, more effective long-term treatments for glaucoma (I was a 91b Medical Specialist assigned to rotation in Optamology/Opthamology clinic for nearly one year at Ft. Ben Harrison, Indiana.) I know we weren't handing out Joints, which (if memory serves) temporarily subjugates the glaucoma creating a endless loop of marijuana usage. It sounds to me like a Judge wants his pot and has a Doctor he probably golfs with sign off on it. Saying "I needs my pot for my glaucoma" is a bit like saying you need your Tonic for your scurvey. Not in 2013. This is a problem with Medicinal Pot: People want to get high. There are idiots out there who would hold tape five cellphones to their heads 24/7 so they could get their brain-tumor pot on-the-fly. I think before we hit street with Medical Pot, we should also figure out how to neutralize the euphoric effect so patients will not be effected mentally by their treatment. Then I'm all on board. You need to do more research on this case. You really think a Federal Judge and the Federal government would subvert their own drug laws because 'some judge' wanted to give a guy pot? You know how the government operates and the political pressure that is applied to control rulings..... Besides, who are you to tell a person how they must treat their condition/disease? It's their body is it not? Since when should the Federal Government or any other politician/judge have authority over your own body? Is that not a god-given and unalienable right to have authority over your own body? Robert Randall had severe glaucoma but the other 13 patients who qualified for the program suffered from a variety of others conditions and diseases. If you only focus on the glaucoma you lose sight of the issue at hand. Irv Rosenfeld suffers from a condition where tumors grow at the end of all of the long bones in his body and exact pressure on his joints & muscles and produce extreme pain. Should he be forced to use an alternative treatment or prescription drug to treat his very serious condition when he has found that marijuana works effectively for him and with little side effects? |

Quoting: Rtruth Marijuana cannabinoids are actually a form of natural medicine. They're actually good for you. Smoking weed is actually a way to cure a lot of things I think. And the oil has been proven to cure cancer. I think we've been completely brainwashed in school to believe it's bad for you. Modern research proves it not! "Medical cannabis refers to the parts of the herb cannabis used as a physician-recommended form of medicine or herbal therapy.... The Cannabis plant has a long history of use as medicine, with historical evidence dating back to 2737 BCE.[1] Cannabis is one of the 50 "fundamental" herbs of traditional Chinese medicine,[2] and is prescribed for a broad range of indications." Source:.... wikipedia [link to en.wikipedia.org] Those dr's would have killed those parents kids! HELLO! Dude...SMOKING weed doesnt cure ANYTHING except maybe a closed mind. Smoking it fucks the shit out of your breathing quality and you do not get enough of the cannabinoids that way. My point is, pothead marijuana advocates are easily owned when they bring up smoking., Make your Mary J teas, tinctures, butters, and oils if you want any benefits. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14751993 and lol at moron who thinks pot shouldn't be legal until it doesn't produce euphoria... who the f is against euphoria? people laughing and smiling really bothers you that much? go hang out with dude whose wife is on chantix... i am sure she is never euphoric. First of all, I'm both guys. My wife and I both took Chantix for about Two Weeks and had no side effects except some fun dreams which we might've had anyway, who knows? You're a tard, because you don't even know how it works. While you are taking it (Your terms) you still smoke. You're supposed to. You keep taking it until you realize one day that you don't need to smoke, don't want to smoke, and would rather do just about anything else but smoke. That's it. Both of us have not smoked so much as one hit off a cigarette since then, and we stopped taking it about a week after we stopped smoking, just to be safe. We didn't have weight gain, mood swings, anything of the sort. That was over two years ago now. You could not pay me to smoke a cigarette, and when I see people smoking, I wonder how I ever convinced myself to be "that guy". What is a Chantix? It's a blocker. It blocks your nicotine receptors so you no longer gain any benefit from a cigarette. We have saved thousands of dollars, can breathe better, and we don't smell like someone took a shit in an ashtray. * * * As for your other problem with me, I love Euphoric people who are laughing and having fun IN CONTEXT Of something. High people are just idiots laughing at nothing without any context. You're raising your hand to the world of the initiated saying "Hey! Look at me! I'm a complete tool and not only that but a Tard to boot!" So, noted, you're a tard who prefers to smell like someone took a shit in an ashtray.
