For Mother’s Day I was wondering about… MOMS FOR MARIJUANA. Are you kidding me?! Could cannabis users choosing motherdom as commonality for a niche advocacy group be any more half-baked? Motherhood is more than a special interest, demographic or hobby; it bears maternal responsibility. Women For Marijuana for example, doesn’t imply there are children around. One infers from Moms For Pot that there’s a role for drugs in the mothering process, a Just-Say-Yes policy in store for her children, if even there’s an age of consent.
How literally do you want to chain yourself to the adage that an apple doesn’t fall far from the [stupid] tree? Let’s set aside the stupor-addled myopia. Where is that child supposed to go to school? I wouldn’t want a Moms For Pot parents participating with my school. Remember the permissive mother who let kids drink in her basement because they’re going to drink, she rationalizes, why not somewhere safe? But this is worse, more than the condoning of drug use, it’s advocacy of drug use, as a medical treatment, as home remedy, as cure for cancer, who knows, she might recommend it for acne.
I think Moms For Pot are taking a big gamble that pot legalization happens before their kids reach school age. Who is going to be the first one suspected of dealing in school, having the most obvious ready supply? Who will be called to always explain his mother’s public preoccupation with addiction? If the pretext is Medical Marijuana, does he have to describe her as disabled? Will he have to denounce her public advocacy or be accused of being in denial? All pretty heavy for a kid.
Instead of a family leg up, this is a push off the cliff, but not out of character with the drug abuser mentality of me me me.
CLARIFICATION: I’m in favor of drug legalization, and MMJ, just not pushed on kids. And I’d like to see people, for whom chemical dependency doesn’t upset going about their normal life, give serious thought and empathy to the large number who succumb to pot’s worst predations. I know far too many victims of pot and alcohol than can be ignored.
You want to talk about myopia? Stand aside from your doctrinaire, fascist nonsense for a moment and take a look at your “article”. You’ve labeled marijuana as a “drug”, and automatically assumed that this word has a negative connotation. Just what is a drug, Mr. Verlo? According to the dictionary definition, a drug is “a substance that has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body”. That would include caffeine, antihypertensives, analgesics, and a variety of other benign remedies available over the counter or otherwise.
Simply because a substance introduces a physiological effect in the human body does not make it inherently malicious. “Public preoccupation with addiction”? Where have you ever read about the addictive properties of the marijuana plant? I’ll clue you in on some medical information regarding cannabis: Marijuana does not exhibit a single addictive property. That’s more than you can say for narcotic pain killers such as vicodin and oxycodone that are doled out by doctors in droves on a daily basis.
Have you ever met a mother addicted to narcotic painkillers that are being fed to her like popcorn by ignorant, careless doctors prescribing her such? It isn’t a pretty sight. It’s killed far more mothers and destroyed far more families that I’ve seen than any mom who enjoys a good toke every now and again. Maybe you should have a talk with a person who’s lost a parent to prescription drug abuse, and ask them if they think that the marijuana plant would have been a better alternative to their opiate related death.
Let me clue you in on another thing, Mr. Verlo. No one cares who you would like participating in your children’s school. That’s the beautiful thing about democracy (which clearly, by your article, is something that you don’t advocate) you don’t get a say in who participates, regardless of their private lives outside of the PTA meetings. Maybe you should take a more rational approach to the cannabis plant (I repeat, PLANT) after you do a bit more research into what the criteria for a drug is, and the addictive or possibly dangerous properties of marijuana itself. My hypothesis is that you won’t find one, and I dare you to prove me wrong.
LOVE IT. If pot is not addictive, STOP. You probably can’t put your drug obsession on pause for even the moment it would take to prove that point to yourself.
Pot’s being less poisonous than prescriptions drugs, or lower fat than fast food is irrelevant obviously.
And when I’m off this subject, I can talk about a wide variety of other things. Can you?
The non-addictive nature of marijuana is irrelevant to what, exactly? Perhaps it is irrelevant to your blind hatred and judgmental attitude towards those that use it, at least in your deranged mind. You completely ignored every point I made in my previous comment. You don’t have an analytic or comprehensive thought in your head towards anything that I’ve stated. You’ve already assumed that I’m an obsessive marijuana user because I argue against your ignorant, negative view of the substance. How myopic is that? Again, read into the definition of the word, “drug”, and realize that there is no negative connotation that follows it. Your hatred makes you obsessed, and the self-debasement your ignorance creates causes you to push your obsession onto those who point out your blatant shortsightedness. It’s sad, really.
What’s worse, is that not only are arguments countering his statements are ignored but his very own argument has no basis and is complete slander and defamation. I will see that National M4M gets word of this for he is slandering not just one mom as he may think.
Verlo, you sir are an uneducated dolt who runs his mouth since he can’t accomplish anything else in life.
Have you actually tried submitting any of your nonsensical articles to a reliable media outlet? Of course not, because you know you would be publicly found out & humiliated…kind of when you tried to go public for OCS and all your terrorist-like background came out!
Go fight a real fight…you believe in Social Communism right? Are you even American?
Decriminalization- YES.
Promotion-NO.
Real piece of work verlo its an herb just like sage, I think your trying to push every activist group away from supporting Ocs which is cool keep your 6 let the other groups handle real issues you know the ones your to much of coward to handle. I get it your a control freak more than 6 would be to much to brain wash and control.
No, Marijuana is not just ‘a herb just like sage’, AnonyMoe. When you say such dopey bullshit as that, you really label yourself as being a mere moron…. one incapable of dealing with political issues in real manner.
Local Occupy Colorado Springs seemed to be full of potheaded morons like yourself, too. As is the city of Colorado Springs itself one might add. What a sad lot the tiny local Occupy was because of the poor calibre of folk we actually got out at Acacia Park.
So what are all the multiple big issues that you say Eric avoided dealing with like a coward? You are a dumb cluck here because it really was the other way around. It was all the dumb ass potheads and Right Wing Ron Paul pro militarists that wanted to avoid dealing with any real political issues, and not Eric and those who agreed mainly with him instead of you a-holes.
That’s a great deal of four letter words, Tony. While I sift through all of your insults and your aggressive blathering, let me ask you something. What does this article have to do with the “caliber of folk” that occupied Acacia Park? If you honestly think that an individual’s marijuana use dictates the moral or intellectual nature of that individual, you must be a sorry judge of character. You’ve claimed that marijuana isn’t an herb, but left no reasons or supporting evidence to back your claim. You simply deigned to insult the individual who brought up the scientific fact (I repeat, fact) that the cannabis plant is an herb. This utter lack of supporting evidence seems pervasive in your arguments, and that of Mr. Verlo’s. If this isn’t a real political issue, please, feel free to bring one up so that we may discuss that as well.
Andre, maybe you have trouble reading some? It was not me though that brought up the Occupy Movement here, but the person I was replying to.
‘You’ve claimed that marijuana isn’t an herb, but left no reasons or supporting evidence to back your claim.’
This is as stupid as saying that heroin is a flower, Andre, calling marijuana a mere herb.
Once again replying to the political issue for you, Andre.
Decriminalization-YES.
Promotion- NO.
Can we get the political ISSUE any simpler for you? I think not but I am totally confident that none of you fine people will address this issue at all…
What Logan doesn’t get is at one point in this nation marijuana was legal. What he is also not getting that it is better to use mmj even as a child as a cancer patient for a number of reasons supports local business and farmers, instead of big pharmaceutical companies, also no side affects. It eases pain and helps nausea,also helps you eat.unlike pills, which lead you take more pills for side affects.which leads to more money being spent. When you can get mmj and skip all that drama. Logan probably gets this idea that you just have to smoke when there is other ways to take mmj, such as eating it.
Anybody that believes that any psychotropic drug is without negative effects on the user is truly an immature child as is this ‘Anonymous’ generic pothead certainly shows himself to be. And the idea that I have not ever used marijuana and do not know anything about the drug is utterly laughable, Mr. Pothead Anonymous.
This Anonymous wants us to believe also that marijuana use is somehow key to beating cancer for individual patients somehow, and that is totally absurd, too. He wants the gullible to be convinced that marijuana is some sort of super drug, just like say aspirin, when in fact that is not even close to being the case. Marijuana will never be considered the first drug to go to for fighting back nausea. It just most certainly isn’t.
What marijuana is is mainly a recreational drug that has a huge recreational constituency pushing to befuddle the issues about what they are actually doing when using it. They are having fun.
The push to consider marijuana as mainly a medicine is patently dishonest. Have you heard of any of the major proponents of labeling marijuana a medicine actually pushing to put the active ingredient into pill form? I certainly have not. Instead users mainly want this drug to continue to be smoked like a tobacco product also is, with the negative byproduct of smoke being inhaled into peoples’ already overloaded lungs.
As the decriminalization of this drug gets underway, too, under the fiction that marijuana is a medicine, expect to see more drivers impaired while under the effects of marijuana. That, of course, is already a rather large problem that approaches the problem of alcohol drinkers being on the road as well.
We support decriminalization of marijuana use as well as the use of other now illegal drugs. That doesn’t mean that we support pretending that it is a benign product/ medicine, as the recreational dopeheads would have us do.
Have you logan or verlo ever tried marijuana if so you are just hypocritical for even writing this, not only that your stupid which we have all established, verlo lost support from activist groups on his own now he lost support of the mmj activists and with your help the military I wanna see how far your occupation goes now.
Wow run out of people to screw with Eric? Feeling like a big boy? Your post is ludicrous, ignorant and contraDICKtory! Pathetic…
‘Have you logan or verlo ever tried marijuana if so you are just hypocritical for even writing this?’
Anonymous, don’t you know how to read before you start spouting off your mouth? I already told you that I have used marijuana. Read what I wrote before you ask stupid questions of us again and again and again.
As to losing the military for Occupy???? Only a nitwit would think that the military should be part of Occupy! Those in the military who are antiwar and now anti-military should be in Occupy, but not all you flag waving dolts working for the Pentagon. No damn way!
God you people are just so damn out of it any way you look. Go find yourselves something else to do other than clogging up Not My Tribe with your multiple Right Winger and potheaded stupidities. We would help you out some if you would actually bother reading what we actually write and realize just how globally ignorant you actually are instead of strutting around running your mouth all the damn time. Don’t you people realize just how bad an education you got in school? How many brain cells does it take to figure that our for yourselves? Duh!!!!!!
AND….It is hard to be very nice to young stupid assholes who are so damn disrespectful to somebody more than double your own young fool’s age, too. Especially when you run together like a bunch of rabid rats, insulting others, vandalizing their property, and threatening to assault them or get them fired from their jobs, etc.!
As to whether we are going to go far with Occupy… YOU YOURSELF ARE NOT PART OF ANY ANTI-GOVERNMENT MOVEMENT. We are. We don’t expect a mass rising up in CS anytime soon, with you Right Winger doper idiots or without. Get it? Now go smoke some more dope…. as I know you will.
‘Audrey’, know anything other than how to ad hominem attack someone. Why don’t you actually discuss some of the issues raised on this blog instead of writing trash. YOU PEOPLE ARE TOO VILE FOR WORDS. Get a damn life!
P.S. If you cannot express a real opinion about anything, then go read a book and possibly get the beginnings of an education for yourselves. SINCERELY. ‘Audrey’ you were incapable of even writing about MJ on this thread! How stupid is that?
I think the real political issue is Logan screwing his dog and also him teaching his innocent daughter his absurd psychotic thinking.
So if “motherhood” shouldn’t be a special interest, why are you only attacking the Cannabis activists? what about A Million Moms…or Moms for knitting? better keep those kids away from those dangerous knitting needles!
PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELVES NOTMYTRIBE…you bunch of wankers!
It’s obvious who the wankers are here, and it’s not Eric or me. It’s you neo fascist shit heads who have nothing better to do than worry about us. Fuck all of you and the US military you so adore.
We’re the fascists, yet you believe that you should have the ability to direct a governing body to dictate what people can and cannot consume? Clearly you have the meaning of the word, “fascist” confused. Heroin isn’t a flower or a seed, it’s refined and chemically processed from a poppy seed. Marijuana doesn’t go through a chemical processing or refining process. It’s a plant. It is a pure, unadulterated herb that grows out of the ground and has since the dawn of humanity. Again, this is a scientific fact. The true idiocy is that you are attempting to dismantle a scientific, medical, and botanical fact by insulting my intelligence. You’re only insulting your own by doing so.
If anything, your ideology that marijuana is a fearsome and harmful drug that is destroying our society and should be eradicated from our streets and apartment complexes is right wing and fascist in its own right. You are a self-contradictory, anarchist, ageist simpleton with an incredibly limited vocabulary, yet you want to challenge my educational background? That’s a joke. Your prejudices know no bounds.
You arguments against the promotion of marijuana use contain no logical or rational support. “The push to consider marijuana as mainly a medicine is patently dishonest.” Really? You do seem to enjoy arguing with proven medical practice. You must be a Christian. Marijuana is proven to reduce the growth of cancer cells, and in some situations, even reduce it.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417193338.htm
Please, feel free to read up on yet another medical fact that entirely dismantles your inane nonsense regarding the medical properties of the cannabis plant and THC itself. That article is over 5 years old. You accuse me of being uneducated? You’re clearly behind on the times, old man. Additional readings on the subject are a definite necessity before you continue to spout ignorant and hateful misinformation regarding cannabis and its medical properties.
Additionally, have you ever heard of a driver under the influence of marijuana injuring or killing themselves or another driver? I certainly haven’t. I figure that must be because it doesn’t happen very often. Statistics support my reasoning.
http://www.economicsjunkie.com/annual-drug-related-deaths-in-the-us-marijuana-ranks-last-with-zero/
Perhaps you have another rational, factually supported claim to refute mine. Perhaps you’ll simply stoop to insulting my personal integrity or my age once more.
Lets stop and think, Logan brain washed his daughter and basically took away her high school years. Verlo has no children, they should be the last ones to take parenting advice from. It’s a medical choice made by parents. It’s like choosing to give your child any other medical treatment, it’s not their call. I have children and would rather see them getting natural save treatment than something that will mess up their body more. That’s just my view as a parent. Logan you know why Arab spring worked, or the American revolution? They had military support. I like my constitution and democracy unlike your communist ways.
Yawn, anonymous wants to bash ‘communism’ (whatever he might think that to be?) and Andre constructs by himself what I have supposedly said, even though it is nothing like what I actually said.
From Andre… ‘If anything, your ideology that marijuana is a fearsome and harmful drug that is destroying our society and should be eradicated from our streets and apartment complexes is right wing and fascist in its own right. ‘
Who has said, Andre, that I say that marijuana is ‘a fearsome and harmful drug that is destroying our society’? You said I said that though I know that I did not. You know why I know that, Andre? Simply put, it’s not my opinion about marijuana… that’s why. I believe the exact opposite of what you have attributed to me as believing. (I hate arguing with idiots who make up your ideas for you and then try to knock that down instead of dealing with one’s actual opinions. I have wrote time after time against the Drug War and anybody who is commenting on Not My Tribe should have figured out that by now.)
Anonymous wants to tell me that I am bad at raising kids, even though we are talking about marijuana on this thread. Can this ignorant fool (or anybody for that matter) tell me please just what ‘ Tony ‘basically took away her high school years’ is supposed to mean in his sicko head? How would this moron know about me and the relationship with my daughter? I certainly do not imagine that I know anything about his child raising of his own kids, and would certainly not be talking about it here, even if I did think he was an unfit parent.
Anonymous. Occupation is a Movement AGAINST our UNDEMOCRATIC government. Sorry that your own brainwashing keeps you from figuring that out any. You know much less about anything that might be called an ‘Arab Spring’…. and it hasn’t exactly worked, Dope.
Well logan your the one who is sick in the head I never implied you were more than a dad what I meant by that was it’s high school shouldn’t she be getting ready for prom or parties, friends, sports, college, instead of involved in political issues all the time. My medical decisions for my children are mine no one else’s occupy is a movement to give the democratic power back to the people instead of the rich, you wouldn’t know thay considering you wrote an article if I recall bashing occupy.
I do not bash the international Occupy at all. I do write against the many Right Winger idiots that passed through Colorado Springs Occupy though.
Far from bashing international Occupy, I just wrote a commentary praising Occupy for centering in on opposing NATO in its coming actions, unlike you local morons who want to merely spread your personal hatred here in this blog. Haven’t been building any movement against NATO, now have you?
I have written even about how Occupy was working well in Nigeria, too! You local dittoshits only want to wave the American flag though and praise the Pentagon. I believe though that Eric is headed off to Chicago to participate in the antiNATO Occupy Movement actions there. What a contrast to you pathetic Right Winger locals.
Your only against NATO and praising them Tony because there military and the American flag is suppose to be yours to but I guess the Russian flag or Chinese flag would work better for you
Again, you don’t answer any point that I raise in regards to cannabis, you simply call me an idiot, deny your own claims, and believe that you’ve debunked my entire thesis by doing so. You clearly aren’t interested in debate, and, if anything, you’re just an incredibly talented troll. I tip my hat to you, Mr. Logan. Enjoy toting around your uneducated anarcho-communist ideology as if it were something unique or avant garde. If you despise this country, despise our military, and despise those that live around you so severely, leave. Go to Germany, or Russia, and start living off of the middle class like a true socialist leech. Oh, and take a political philosophy class while you’re there. You can do it off of the government’s dime, of course.
Andre, it’s really rich to be accused of not responding to the issue by somebody telling me to get out of my own country! …lol…. What an imbecile you truly are!
Back to MJ now… You Right Winger, military redneck Potheads are telling me how benign marijuana always is about 2 weeks after having heard how one of my wife’s young relatives became psychotically aggressive and violent all of a sudden. Probable cause? Smoking marijuana dusted with PCP unknown to himself. Uh duh…. Imagine that, Dopey Dudes.
As to going and leeching off the common folk? Why don’t I just stay at home in the USA and try to join the military like you dumbshits did? They ‘ll take care of me if I just follow orders and stay on the pro-corporate military ‘socialism’ gravy train. As sure a thing as bank bailouts here in La Patria, Andre Dude. You uniformed guys are the true leeches, sitting on military pay and harassing Lefties all the time telling them to get out of their own country! Takes shit of an ed to do that, and that’s all you seem to really have. Political Ed by boot camp.
Tony he wasn’t telling you to leave he was suggesting all anyone sees on this site from you is how you hate this and how you hate that if your truly unhappy go somewhere else…I would…but I love this country ya there are things I hate but all in all I love it..ya there things that needs to change but all in all I love it…what do you love about this nation
I’m not in the military, but I certainly don’t hate or judge those who chose that path in order to support themselves and their loved ones. It’s obvious to everyone in this forum that the only basis you have to support your insults and your hate mongering is founded upon assumptions. But, you know, don’t mind me. I’m just a uniformed guy harassing the lefties. Let’s just omit that I’m not a uniformed guy, or a conservative.
I also never told you to leave this country. I gave you no commands of the sort. I suggested that, because you despise this nation and those that dwell within, that the obvious solution is to no longer live within the nation you so obviously detest. On to the incredibly weak point you made regarding your wife’s young relative: your hearsay based evidence supports the idea that PCP (not cannabis) is psychologically harmful and causes aggressive behavior. Great. When did I dispute that?
In any case, I’m finished with this incredibly one-sided battle of wits. As the great Mark Twain once said, “Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”
By all means, do not judge someone who kills and terrorizes in order to support themselves and their loved ones. But this post is about ADDICTS WHO PUSH POT ON THEIR KIDS.
Regardless whether pot is less addictive or harmful than heroin, alcohol or cigarettes, why burden your child’s future with drug dependence? They may dream of doing more important things with their lives than to convalesce medicating their woes.
You’d hope pot-advocates weren’t so obsessed with their habit that they could think for a moment about their kid. But that’s probably the definition of an addict.
Again, Eric, it is scientifically impossible to be addicted to marijuana. It is scientifically impossible to be physically dependent upon marijuana. If anything, marijuana addiction would be a purely psychological ailment, much like being addicted to pornography. How many times do I need to repeat myself? Do you enjoy challenging proven medical science? Obviously, you do. If that isn’t the true mark of a lunatic, I don’t know what is. Put down the keyboard, and pick up a book.
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-teenage-mind/201012/is-marijuana-addictive
Andre, did you read the article you cited? It says “NOT VERY addictive” and “most people can quit” and “10-30% develop dependency” and 9% get addicted. So that’s like saying Russian roulette is safe, statistically.
More important for the discussion here, that makes your “scientifically impossible” statement a complete lie. We have no place for that kind of argument here. You may disagree with opinions expressed on NMT, but they are presented in good faith with no intention to mislead, why should we? You Andre apparently have no such ethic.
You only read the first paragraph of the article, Eric, which was the citation of a book titled, “The Science of Marijuana”. What did I say, my friend? Let me repeat myself one more time, and if you prove to completely lack the capacity to understand this simple idea, I’ll leave you to the rational vacuity of yourself and your peers.
It is scientifically impossible to become PHYSICALLY DEPENDENT upon cannabis. There is a difference between a physical and a psychological addiction. It is possible to become psychologically addicted to anything, whether it be sex, fast food, nail biting, or even burning oneself. It is just as likely for an individual to become addicted to masturbation as it is to become addicted to cannabis. You wouldn’t know anything about that, would you, Mr. Verlo? Your opinions are expressed with the intention to insult those you disagree with and to perpetuate ignorance within your audience. Whether or not you intend to mislead, you do so, and you do so without a hint of rationality.
If you would like to do additional research into the dichotomy between psychological and physical addictions, read “Psychological Addiction, Physical Addiction, Addictive Character, and Addictive Personality Disorder: A Nosology of Addictive Disorders”, by Brian Johnson. Have you ever taken an advanced psychology course or studied such addictions, Mr. Verlo? My guess is that you haven’t. Before you do, try not to flaunt your supposed expertise on the subject. It isn’t very becoming of an astute gentleman such as yourself.
By the way, statistically, the chances of losing a game of Russian Roulette are 1 in 6. In terms of percentage, that would be just under 16.7 percent. That percentage is significantly higher than the percentage of regular cannabis users that become psychologically addicted to or dependent upon the herb, which is well under 10 percent. We may want to brush up on your mathematical/logical proficiency, as well as your talent (or lack thereof) for metaphor.
I read the whole article you condescending prig. You’re misrepresenting again, and that superiority dance of yours is only amusing for so long. What a self-inflated cretin you are, pontificating pseudo-scientifically and telling us to “read a book”.
The Russian roulette metaphor applies regardless the ratio of bullets, because the conclusion to be drawn it the same: the risk is not worth it. Try this one: Would you parachute if there was a 9% chance of a failure?
Now I have to say, sorry “Andre”, you show no intention to stop dissembling so we ask you to take your lies elsewhere.
NMT is telling the lies. You show no referenced in your articles. Everything you say is made up in your head without any valid example with proof. It is 2012, you can access books and read them pretty easily. that is if you’re capable of accepting the scientific truth that will come forth.
Cannabis is a healing agent. Please research Rick Simpson’s Cancer CURE – Pheonix Tears.
Cannabinoids are natural chemicals that the body produces on its own. There are more Cannabinoid recepters in the human body than any other recepter…such as dopamine, seratonin, etc…(if you want to read the science, I can get you the reference…or you can look it up like anyone else).
Cannabinoids are found in mothers’ breast milk!
For a damn good reason too if you feel so inclined to educate yourselves.
Check out the new PBS documentary about the benefiits of Cannabis…are they falsifying claims too?
I think that quote about talking to fools holds very true in this strange blog.
Free speech is one thing…being a complete nincompoop is either really sad, or really deliberate.
I think Verlo is just mad because Moms 4 Marijuana has a bigger constituency than his POS OCS! LOL!
GROW SOME! & I MEAN BRAINS!
& you’re still wankers! 🙂
The thing is Eric you won’t ever have to make a decision on what kind of medicine to treat a child, its simple you dont have children to be handing out parenting advice or medical advice because your not a doctor. So stop judging parents who do.
Did they mean to call it “Mothers OF SICK CHILDREN For Marijuana”?
Promoting pot for recreational use in between medicinal use kinda highlights the compulsive nature of their obsession.
It’s curious how you commenters like to address Tony and I by name, pretend to know about us, yet you write anonymously. Why should cowards like you be believed about anything?
Word spreads fast around this town, not to mention I can read. It needs to go back to the time when people didn’t tell people how to parent, they minded their own damn business. Which you should learn how to do. Parents want to treat their kids with mmj let them it’s not your call. It’s not your child.
Hey, and I’d like to be able to treat my kid who is coughing with codeine cough syrup, too, and without a prescription for it either, Anonymous. It’s just that I ‘m not going to be like you bumpkin potheads and tell people that it has no negative side effects, when it certainly could and might.
Apparently the idea of decriminalizing mj does not appeal to you potnicks. You support PUSHING IT, as well as decriminalizing it. That’s really where you disagree with Eric and I on these issues. That, plus the fact that you are ALSO from a group that wants to bash Eric and I for being more Left in our views than YOU numbskulls are.
You need a script for mmj idiot they just don’t hand it out, can I ask a question? What would nmt like to see this country become? It’s a serious question
So what in the world is your difference with Eric and I about mj about then, Anonymous? The only thing we say different than you about us supporting decriminalization is that we are not in turn going to trumpet mj as the great cure all of all disease. It is not that at all.
Is that the difference you have here with us, because we are all of us for decriminalizing the use of this drug. That not enough for you though? You want us to also PUSH the drug off as some sort of grand medicine as well as just a drug for recreational use?
We are against all the mj advertising going on right now. Open up the INDY for example, and see page after page of ads pushing mj use and sales. It’s just like with the pharmaceutical advertising pushing off dangerous meds made by them. Decriminalize mj use but do not push it. That is all we have been saying that is anywhere different than what you seem to be for.
As to this question of yours… ‘ What would nmt like to see this country become? It’s a serious question’ … we can answer that elsewhere than on this thread about the promotion of mj use-for or against?
I am just wondering what your ideal America is, because you endorse Castro, hate our military, don’t want people to have a right to choose mmj, which is fine your thoughts. I am just wondering if your ideal America would be no military,no right to choose the medical treatment you want, and a communist leader. If not correct me so I have a better understanding of your thinking.
Btw I never said mmj was a cure for anything but all the terminally ill I have met that use it would rather have mmj to ease pain help nausea help eat help sleep, also to relax. Instead of six pills or an iv cocktail
It IS the cure-all numbnutz! Look it up…even the government holds the patent for Phoenix Tears which they use to shut down anyone trying to push their secret cure.
Much like the AIDS CURE (patents can be found at gov. patent site)
Higher levels of cannabinoids in the body begin a rejuvination process, renewing cells…fountain of youth anyone?
Much of the greatest music of all time is also thanks to the creative high from Mary Jane…I mean if you really need a reason for the recreational arguement once you accept the health benefits.
FACT: CANNABIS SMOKERS HAVE LESS CHANCE OF GETTING LUNG CANCER!
Anonymous, I have to go to work right now. I’ll write you though a short commentary about what ‘we’ basically stand for at NMT tomorrow in response to your questions. Good enough?
Still waiting for my answer.
You’re pretty insistent for someone who doesn’t dare use their real name.
BTW, to contradict your assumptions about me, I’ve had a fair share of child raising experience, and quite a bit of experience dealing with substance abusers. In particular with denying pot’s unfortunate role as a gateway drug.
Didn’t answer my question about what the ideal nation is to nmt
IMO the ideal nation is no nations at all, but a global community that is humanitarian and just, to be achieved through direct democracy. That’s been the aim of Occupy Wall Street and the global democracy movement.
As long as people get permission to speak from you or Tony right…expecially if they disagree with you….if they do disagree with you there not allowed to speak right….
