Wow I thought millenials were not so uptight about the whole pot thing. I guess I was wrong.

 

[futurefields]

OP is like in between ZaneJohnson and Hellen or whomever that other moron that finally got permabanned on here that was always bragging about weed and other stupid shit. He goes around posting a bunch of moronic threads, and then either acts clueless like Zane or like an a-hole like the other guy.

Lol, you're an idiot and you know nothing about me troll.

Ah.

Good.

This explains many of the OP's threads now.

The whole medical marijuana thing sits wrong with me.

I'm not against the legalisation of pot it's just that this seems a really childish way to go about it.

agreed and I've always felt the same way about it. Everyone I know that has a card around here (that's pretty much everyone I know), has no medical condition that would come close to being a legit need for the weeds.

...not that there aren't those patients, mind you. But I'd estimate something like 90% of the card holders are "illegitimate."

perfect example:

oh come on, shiner is/was a special case.

 

[zinfamous]

OP brags about a stash of herb
Linked thread brags about a stash of beer

Both are clear "brag" threads.

How are they different again?

well, one is illegal for the most part.

but come on, you know I'm no teetotatler and I've gone my rounds with the herb for many years.

but to this day, whenever I'm strolling home and see a bunch of dumbass kids getting high on the street, I just want to call the cops on them. I hated that shit then and I hate it now. It's not the weed; it's the dumb. Stop being dumb. I wasn't such an idiot to be hanging out in a shopping center sharing a J. stop being dumb, kids!

Depends what you consider medicinal, people take anti depressants for medicinal needs, many people treat pot the same way. Unless for it to be medicinal you want them to have AIDS or cancer or something, but pot helps with a lot more than just that stuff. I mean, my neurologist has me using medical cannabis for my chronic migraines, it's not as bad as having cancer or something, but before I was smoking pot I was taking several pain killers that had some pretty bad side effects (no appetite where I wouldn't eat for days at a time and insomnia), pot has less negative side effects and works as a preventative for my migraines whereas the old medicine was just used when I was having a migraine and would dull the pain until it passed. This way I dont have any migraines and I don't have to deal with shitty side effects.


Sure there are still people who have "back pains" who are just using it as a way to get high, but to be perfectly honest, who are you to judge what is and what isn't a medical need?

Generally I'd consider something medicinal if it had gone through clinical trials and was used to treat something for which it had proved effectiveness for and was prescribed by a doctor.

Unless you mean medicinal like a brandy in the evening or a coffee in the morning or a bottle of snake oil?

 

[TechBoyJK]

Pot from a dispensary.

OP is what is generally known to society as a 'loser.' The kind of person who brags about his medical marijuana card on the internet. It's similar to someone who receives disability income for being fat.

And you're what's known as a condescending, presumptuous douche.

It's simple. Marijuana works for medical reasons.

Does medical Tylenol sit ok with you? What about medical NyQuil?

 

[TechBoyJK]

i dont really care that you have a medical MJ card,

but making posts like this really just makes you look like a total piece of shit loser

Just like if someone posts a picture of their beer or wine?

 

[TechBoyJK]

This.




My wife, who has never smoked in her life, got questioned about smoking cigarettes at the financial office she works at when someone smelled cigarette smoke on her clothes from me at work awhile back.

We have taken steps to alleviate that, even if I still smoke some rather than vaping full time.

Did you just agree that someone is a loser for talking about weed, then proceed to admit to using an even more loser'ish drug aka tobacco?

It does have medicinal uses, granted the system is abused but it does have its use. I am personally for full on no holds barred legalization and not allowing employers to test for past usage (ok with intoxicated level screenings).

Personally if it were legal in my state I would try it for my chronic tension headaches that are debilitating without light codeine pain meds.

 

[TechBoyJK]

I just picked up my prescription for blood pressure medicine. I considered making a parody thread, "look at what I scored today at the pharmacy! 30 tablets! Woot. I'm one of the cool kids now." In other words, I don't give a shit who smokes what. But, starting a thread to brag about it... I'm going to have to agree with those who described that as being a loser.

I would wager that much of the interest is in the process and means of how the product is created.

A 6 pack of natty isn't interesting; at least in regards to how it's made and delivered. Think of it as appreciating fine scotch, or a niche whiskey.

 

[TechBoyJK]

Not really.

They're different because the alcohol thread is pure alcoholism. This guy's thread is simply appreciating a small amount of high quality, natural, difficult to grow cannabis. The fridge is full of poison, this guy's weed is just named 'poison'.

It'd actually be more similar if it wasn't a fridge full of beer, but the guy holding two six packs.

I don't think he's taking issue with there being actual medical uses, I think his point is that it's so thoroughly abused that it makes no sense to not just be legalized.

The system is abused because fuck everyone that thinks it should be illegal for any reason. Should be every bit as legal as alcohol. If I have to go get a bullshit medical card in order to be able to possess or smoke it without getting harassed by cops, that's exactly what I will do.

cannabis has been used, effectively, in medicine for thousands of years.

Only recently did some uptight politicians claim it wasn't medical.

If someone came out and claimed the earth was flat, you wouldn't believe them, would you?

Well you shouldn't believe it when someone says cannabis has no medical value. There's a treasure trove of direct and anecdotal evidence that makes it obvious to anybody with critical thinking skills that cannabis is not only medicine, but great, cheap, effective medicine.

Cannabis is practically the definition of medicine. Only reason it's so crazy potent now is because of the black market trying to minimize the footprint that marijuana has. Just like in prohibition they were smuggling brandy, not beer.

Push it back into a regulated environment and you'll find strands like "Charlotte's Web" popping up that don't even get you high, but still alleviate said back pain.

oh look, a marijuana shill

oh look, a marijuana shill

I didn't know shill meant 'someone who has a realistic and basic scientific understanding about how something works and the consequences of failed policy regarding it.'

But I guess someone who's presumptuous and condescending might not care to understand a topic they have preconceived delusions about.
