No one is advocating use by children. And by the way, my grade of weed is A+ thankyouverymuch because I've grown my own for the last 8 years. Marijuana is a plant; there are different varieties, grades, tastes, etc. just like every other plant in the world Sat, 5 May 2012 19:06:56 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/local/Mainstream-marijuana-Medical-pot-growers-buying-insurance-150252295.html#IDComment354824393 http://www.katu.com/news/local/Mainstream-marijuana-Medical-pot-growers-buying-insurance-150252295.html#IDComment354816066 Exactly.

What makes you you believe a "vast number of people will take up MJ if it's legal"? Is it the same vast number of people who want it legalized? You really think if this passed, the people who voted No will suddenly just decide "Ahh, what the hell it's legal now so even though I'm against it I'm gonna go buy some, smoke it, then drive around."? The "society" that made marijuana laws what they are was Big Business and Shady Politicians. The kind of guys that end up in jail today. I know it's easier for you to let them make up rules to live your life by...no thinking necessary, just do w hat your told and shut up right?

People buy things they can grow themselves all the time. You been to the store lately? 2. Adults are generally referred to as someone over 21. That's been defined by law for years. 3. Industrial hemp grown in fields isn't medical grade cannabis. It helps our country be more productive by increasing revenues and allowing law enforcement to focus on IMPORTANT issues.

But cannabis is not such a substance. There is no record in the extensive medical literature describing a proven, documented cannabis-induced fatality. In practical terms, cannabis cannot induce a lethal response as a result of drug-related toxicity." From January 1997 to June 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported zero deaths caused by the primary use of cannabis. In contrast, common FDA-approved drugs which are often prescribed in lieu of cannabis (such as anti-emetics and anti-psychotics), were the primary cause of 10,008 deaths. The cannabinoid THC has an extremely low toxicity and the amount that can enter the body through the consumption of cannabis plants poses no threat of death. A number of medical organizations have endorsed reclassification of marijuana to allow for further study. These include, but are not limited to: The American Medical Association, The American College of Physicians (America's second largest physicians group), Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (America's second largest cancer charity) Tue, 1 May 2012 16:17:07 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/local/Medical-marijuana-becomes-key-issue-in-Ore-race-149405175.html#IDComment352073831 http://www.katu.com/news/local/Medical-marijuana-becomes-key-issue-in-Ore-race-149405175.html#IDComment352068608 Can you cite these studies or you just "remember reading it somewhere a few years ago" Tue, 1 May 2012 16:07:41 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/local/Medical-marijuana-becomes-key-issue-in-Ore-race-149405175.html#IDComment352068608 http://www.katu.com/news/local/Medical-marijuana-becomes-key-issue-in-Ore-race-149405175.html#IDComment352065950 LOL the "marijuana crowd"?
