QuoteProblem with those sites and among others not neccessairly related but use the cotton conspiracy
Your statement leads me to believe that you have not read through the ASA website. ASA is the major leading force for legalizing medical mj. They have been the spearhead in bringing about change by use of medical research. Cotton conspiracy? Not sure what cotton has to do with patients who find relief and quality of life with marijuana as opposed to being stuck in a stupor with the narcotics that the pharm corporations have pushed for years.
Your statements also leads me to believe that those at the top for legalization are dazed hippies. So far from the truth is such a belief. Those at NORML are not drugged out hippies. Those at ASA are not drugged out hippies. Those at L.E.A.P. are not drugged out hippies. These people are highly succesful professionals. Those at L.E.A.P. are law enforcement professionals. NORML is backed up with lawyers, judges, and a slew of succesful professionals. There is truth that some of those at the ground level are in fact hippies it I do believe that it hurts the cause. The last time I spoke with attorney Dan Veit, the man responsible with bringing about change in Columbia, Mo., agrees that image change is instrumental in order to change the minds of the politicians who fail to see the legitimate cause. One can argue that the powerful narcotics that are routinely pushed by the pharm companies only contribute to drug addiction and overdoses. In fact, they do. There are far more deaths contributed to legal narcotics than there are to illegal marijuana. In fact, there has never been a marijuana overdose. In fact, marijuana is not even an addictive drug.
I prefer that the choice be mine when it comes to treating my condition and not that of narco-pushers.

QuoteQuoteDWI's on the weed should be treated exactly the same as alcohol DWI's.
I disagree. Multiple (credible) studies have indicated that impairment from cannabis is minimal in comparison to impairment from alcohol use. The effects of smoking heavily affect driving on a magnitude similar to taking over the counter cold medicines as directed. Furthermore, drivers under the influence of cannabis tend to perceive their impairment and compensate for it. There is no reason to treat driving under the influence of the two very different substances the same.

Thank you. I was too lazy to search for one of my previous posts in which I linked to similar sources.
Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
After all of the studies that were done by the feds and were scraped because they did not prove the goverments case that marijuana was the leading cause of automobile accidents, the feds have continued to bring up this one study as the difinitive study to prove, without doubt, that marijuana is an extremely dangerous drug.
http://www.nida.nih.gov/NIDA_Notes/NNVol11N1/Marijuana.html
From the study;
This behavioral pattern in the personal backgrounds of marijuana-smoking employees was associated with negative attitudes toward work and job performance, Dr. Lehman said. The surveys found that marijuana users were less likely than nonusers to commit to the organization, had less faith in management, and experienced low job satisfaction. These workers reported more absenteeism, tardiness, accidents, workers' compensation claims, and job turnover than workers who had not used marijuana. They were also more likely to report to work with a hangover, miss work because of a hangover, and be drunk or use drugs at work. (alcoholism is the result of marijuana smoking?
)
These data indicate that marijuana use is strongly associated with problematic alcohol use and a pattern of general deviance that leads to impaired behaviors and poor workplace performance, Dr. Lehman concluded.
Dr. Lehman needs to pull his head from his ass as having such stuck in such a dark place leads to a problematic outcome.

The cotton reference reflects the beliefs some people have that mj was made illegal by lobbying of the cotton industry.
I am saying those in power remember their college age daze or their children's rebellion, then, not they are still smoking now.
My response was not directed as me believing those sites not credible, but the fact that those sites may not be taken seriously by those in office. They were there too.
You can find various professionals from all walks of life to represent any type of belief. Professionals backing up these matters does not give the argument more weight. You need majority in on it. If you match professional to professional on both sides of the issue you may find that there is an unequal amount backing.
