 Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2008 10:26 pm Post subject: Medical Marijuana A Front? |
 |
|
|
All of this research that I am doing is saying that Medical Marijuana Is a front for Decriminalization of all drugs. "ALL DRUGS". Fuck That, throw the coca dealers and the cheeva dealers in the jails. I would love to see decriminalization of Marijuana, But, if it just helps one person, just one, then it should be used for a medicinal purpose.
I am doing some strenuous research for myself. Anyone got any thoughts on this? |

shortyflow, they say that everytime the subject comes up or they will say there is no such thing as medical cannabis. 'some congress / law makers' say that to make the public think medical cannabis is a front for legalization of all drugs and thats not what medical cannabis is about.
'PROPAGANDA'  my friend.
peace & pot |

It has been my experience that Cannabis Consumers encompass all types of people. From Medicinal Elitists to Degenerate Burnouts(If there is such a thing),Most are somewhere in between getting there smoke on cause they damn well just like it, and aren't hurting anyone either.
Is there anything wrong with a medicine having recreational qualities that are safe?
There sure is nothing wrong in my book about a recreational drug now having medicinal "Legitimacy".
Sure, the Elitists look down on everyone else who toke as ruining there chances of legitimacy. Sure the Anti-Prohibition Elitists use it as propaganda. Sure the Prohibitionists wage propaganda war saying its a front.
Smokers have wanted the same "Legitimacy" for use as the Medical movement wants now. Many jumped on the bandwagon. Seemed like a sure way towards legalization. Most of the real consumers are quietly sitting on there couches smoking just as much as they ever did, without a care to the political, legal, ethical implications groups spin to validate their position.
Here's my position on Cannabis Consumption:
We ALL want it for one reason and one reason only!
We want this plant because it does something for us that nothing else can do or it does it no better but with fewer negatives. I can tell myself a hundred reasons implicit on validation from an authority outside my own experiences and research. I can even convince myself it is divine and therefore unnecessary of any earthly recognition.
Fact is, it is enjoyable to use by the majority of people who choose to do so. I see marijuana abuse simply is a personality flaw induced by our consumerist driven society. We have been programmed to consume every good or resource we can. Why should Cannabis be any different for large numbers of people?
In summary, I don't really give a shit why anyone chooses to consume. We are all brothers in that we want the same thing, albeit our motives may differ. |

Honestly, yes I do think most medical marijuana arguments and organizations are fronts for decriminilization or legalization of cannabis and/or all drugs, but do I care that that is the goal (besides actually getting sick and dying people medicine they need)? Nope, not one bit.
Since especially legally, if one wants to get cannabis decriminilized or legalized, showing the medicinal benefits of cannabis as opposed to the side effects should help with the overall legalization issue (and if not at least it should help with the medical issue). |

This does appear to be the current trend. A unification of reasoning is in order for all the involved groups. No unity - no legalization for anyone I think. |

With that being said. Why does the government relay to the public that we want all drugs legalized? Do they not want to inform the public of facts or do they want to use scare tactics to get medical marijuana on the back burner? |

They do this because it works. A large majority of Party Dedicated voters are older people above middle aged. They listen to that because anything other goes against 70 years of government ingrained propaganda. The most false and distorted being the oldest. I can see it in my parents.
Its hard to teach an old dog new tricks only because he is unwilling. |

Is there any links or videos to someone debating this topic? I just found that this is one of the main reasons I belive that it is still illegal. Because then everything will be illegal?
If you could try and find something I could really use it |
