Brave New Films: John McCain Hates Medical Marajuana…And Lies About It

  • jgilliam · 2 years ago
    As someone who thought the whole medical marijuana thing couldn't really be *that* effective...

    Wow, was I wrong. I had a major operation and afterward could not eat much of anything, was throwing up and just hated even thinking about food. I lost a ton of weight and it was a life-threatening downward spiral.

    My doctor put me on a prescription pill version of marijuana called marinol. I was afraid it would turn me into a pothead, but it didn't at all... all it did was give me an appetite and make me want to eat. I got the munchies, and stopped losing weight and am now putting it on bit by bit getting stronger and stronger.

    That shit saved my life.

    I wish I could up mod your comment Jim.

    Living in such a progressive state certainly has its benefits. It's absolutely indefensible to deprive patients of life saving medication, just because it's culturally taboo.

    Who gives a fuck if it also happens to be "abused" by others, so is every other medication.

    Me, I figure it's 'cos then when everyone's licensed to grow three plants for medical or recreational use, then the drug companies will be unable to push expensive pills to help us pretend to be happy, relieve our headaches, etc.

    The GOP should support free legal ecstasy. It's the only way they could possibly win an election without Diebold's help.
