Comments on: Hazy Outlook For Medical Marijuana Legislation In Florida http://www.northescambia.com/2015/02/hazy-outlook-for-medical-marijuana-legislation-in-florida Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Fri, 03 Apr 2026 18:45:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: ginger http://www.northescambia.com/2015/02/hazy-outlook-for-medical-marijuana-legislation-in-florida/comment-page-1#comment-292402 ginger Tue, 17 Feb 2015 19:38:28 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=206271#comment-292402 Obviously they are not reading the continuous large amount of daily therapeutic qualities of marijuana...but yet ALCOHOL which does nothing but cause harm on many levels , lets keep it legal. Hardly any therapeutic qualities to alcohol. But list of damage that it causes to body. If there were rational debates to continue the criminalization of marijuana I would be more understanding but using the old"gateway drug" is very very old school argument. In fact when people of legislation, government, media , use this I immediately laugh at how extremely uneducated they sound.

It appears that some folks may not have their facts strait. Which brings me to my next point if its already available for patients then what is the need for further legislation ,and at the end of the day the fact remains that marijuana doesn't cure anything and that should be the goal. And lastly GOD also made poison ivy ,but you wouldn't roll that up and smoke it would you.

As you hold the container as they are vomiting, you fell very helpless. My Wife is on a medication that contains some kind of Marijuana and it does help a great deal. She has lost around 55 lbs due to the side effects of the treatment and it has significantly helped to control both the side effects and has helped her to put some of her weight back on. I was one of those who opposed the legalization due to the fact I was concerned that it would be used as a crutch for those who want to use the drug for recreation but those who want to are already at it any way so that thought process is flawed. Most everything that was developed for the good, has almost always been used by persons for there own agenda. this is something we have to accept and get on with living.

Apparently men have come to the point they believe they are wiser than my God. It is sad and the oil would cure so many people yet folks are scared of jail time. Govt has gotten way too big and way too arrogant. What is hard to believe is that MEN are saying that a plant GOD placed on this earth is illegal.

Thank goodness for independent operators. I guess the illusion/delusion of control is a comfort to these despots.
