Marijuana? What is your view?

[Godssoulja]

My grand parents smoked, my parents smoked and I use to smoke about 2 ounces a week. "Two each his own"

[SoularFlarez]

that KavaKava go hard !

[GoodTimes]

If you buy weed it is not going to be laced with cocaine,
because cocaine cost $$$ and that would mean your getting extra product for free. If you smoke with strangers, use your own best discretion.

Marijuana



Developmental Toxicity

A great deal of effort has been expended on the investigation of the effects of perinatal exposure to_D9-THC. Initial data suggested the existence of various deficits in humans, and it was anticipated that a definable syndrome—equivalent to the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome—would be found.


Prenatal marijuana exposure was reported to be related to tremors, increased startle response, and poorer habituation to visual stimuli of human offspring...


Tolerance and Dependence

Chronic marijuana use does not result in severe withdrawal symptoms, but numerous case reports attest to the development of dependence.

Drug courts

Drug courts are fast growing in number. The first started in 1989; 2140 drug courts were in operation May 2008, with another 284 being planned or developed.

They offer offenders charged with less-serious crimes of being under the influence, possession of a controlled substance, or even drug-using offenders charged with a non-drug related crime the option of entering the drug court system in lieu of serving a jail sentence.

Offenders will have to plead guilty to the charge, agree to take part in treatment, regular drug screenings, and regular reporting to the drug court judge for a minimum of one year. Should the offender fail to comply with one or more of the requirements they may be removed from the drug court and incarcerated at the judge's discretion. If they complete the drug court program the charges brought against them are dropped or reduced.


Quick note: The mind of the narcisst. This is what is commonly known as a double bind. They legalize it and incarerate you... Anything to keep you sweating there legal system as if it is set up to help you aquire all the privledges and immunity's like a real citizen. Remeber...you are not a citizen.

Patients diagnosed with any illness where the medical use of cannabis has been "deemed appropriate and has been recommended by a physician" are provided with legal protection under this act. Conditions typically covered by the law include: arthritis; cachexia; cancer; chronic pain; HIV or AIDS; epilepsy; migraine; and multiple sclerosis. No regulations regarding the amount of cannabis patients may possess and/or cultivate were provided by this act, though the California Legislature adopted guidelines in 2003.[40] In practice, as certain doctors will prescribe cannabis for any condition, the drug is essentially decriminalized for those who can afford to obtain the paperwork.[41] Colorado 2 ounces usable. A Physician's recommendation is required.[38] Hawaii 3 ounces usable.[38] Maine Amended to 2.5 ounces usable. No state-run registry. A Physician's recommendation is required.[42] Massachusetts On November 4, 2008, Massachusetts became the first state to decriminalize marijuana possession passed by voter initiative Michigan 2.5 ounces usable. No state-run registry.[38] On November 4, 2008, voters of Michigan passed a ballot proposal which allows for patients with debilitating medical conditions to use the drug and for registered individuals to grow the marijuana in secured facilities. The measure also requires the state's health department to establish a registry of qualified patients and growers.[43] Montana 1 ounce usable.[38] Nevada 1 ounce usable. A Physician's recommendation is required.[38] On November 7, 2000 65% of voters approved Question 9.

Patients diagnosed with the following illnesses can obtain a medical card: AIDS; cancer; glaucoma; and any medical condition or treatment to a medical condition that produces cachexia, persistent muscle spasms or seizures, severe nausea or pain. Other conditions are subject to approval by the health division of the state Department of Human Resources. Once a medical cannabis card is obtained patients may legally possess no more than one ounce of usable cannabis, and may grow no more than seven cannabis plants. The law establishes a state-run patient registry that issues identification cards to qualifying patients. Patients who do not join the registry or possess greater amounts of cannabis than allowed by law are subject to arrest on cannabis charges.[44] New Mexico 6 ounces usable.[38] Governor Bill Richardson signed Senate Bill 523, "Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act," into law on April 2, 2007. The new law took effect on July 1, 2007. The law mandates the state Department of Health by October 1, 2007, to promulgate rules governing the use and distribution of medical cannabis to state-authorized patients. These rules shall address the creation of state-licensed "cannabis production facilities," the development of a confidential patient registry and a state-authorized cannabis distribution system, and "define the amount of cannabis that is necessary to constitute an adequate supply" for qualified patients.[45] Oregon 24 ounces usable.[38] On November 3, 1998 55% of voters approved Measure 67.

No state-run registry.[38] On November 3, 1998 59% of voters approved Measure 692. The law removes state-level criminal penalties on the use, possession and cultivation of cannabis. Valid documentation from a physician affirming that the patient suffers from a medical condition and that the "potential benefits of the medical use of cannabis would likely outweigh the health risks" is required.

Other conditions are subject to approval by the Washington Board of Health. Patients may legally possess or grow no more than a 60-day supply of cannabis.[47] Some states include legal use of simple and affirmative defense in the cases of non-complying patients.[38]
Arizona and Maryland both enacted laws that do not legalize medical marijuana, but are favorable to doctors prescribing it and its use as defense in court, respectively.[38]
The state laws, as mentioned above, do not cancel federal laws that criminalize use of cannabis, so federal prosecution is still possible.

[NuAfrikanQueen]

well, i come from texas where cannabis is plentiful and cheap compared to here in virginia. with that said, prior to my move i indulged quite often. i especially liked to indulge when i had to write papers or brainstorm on a subject. it has never failed me, for every paper i wrote in an elevated state i got an a with high remarks from the professor. it relaxes me and allows me to see reason. perhaps this is the weed head in me that comes up with excuses to smoke. but the way i see it, if the ancestors did it in the past, i can do it now. if it wasn't so expensive here i'd be partaking in a few tokes right now. i believe it becomes cancerous when smoked in paper and cardboard cigars. and everything is better when you grow it yourself, just like growing organic vegetables and fruit.

Medical Contributions from Kemet

Medical Contributions from Kemet

Innovative Methods of Treatment

Kemetian physicians developed diverse and detailed methods for treating medical ailments ranging from use of medicinal herbs to surgical procedures. Plant use was extensive; evidence from extant papyri suggests that there were over 160 distinctive plant materials in use. Wall carvings from the Temple of Sobek and Haroeris at Kom Ombo show examples of the first scalpels, dissectors, probes and sponges. These instruments still fare prominently in modern Western medicine. Opium was used for pain relief. And the use of prosthetics was developed.

That they are given the gift and opportunity to access places most people are still shut out from and give thanx for that opportunity and don't commit sacrelige upon it.
