Just say if you think Medicinal Marijuana should be illegal. I’m making this because I have really bad insomnia (think of the movie Fight Club, exactly like that) and I recently got in trouble for smoking weed to go to sleep, something that I’ve done for years. Yes, I tried sleeping pills and unfortunately they caused me to have Narcilepsy which my doctor confirmed was a common side effect, and he took me off of the meds in 9th grade (I’m a freshmen in college now). So, I get in trouble for doing the one thing that cures what I have. I may sound biased, but I also want to hear what other people think, so please discuss.

No marijuana. Some jackass will find a way to exploit the system, and sell his hash for cash. No, no, and no.
Hey, i have narcolepsy too. We should like, spontaniously fall asleep together sometime. Bring a desert.

I don’t have narcolepsy, I have insomnia. The narcolepsy was caused by the pre5cription sleep aids that I was given, and it went away about a week after I stopped taking them.

I’ve started to get insomnia lately. And if it sucks.
And If smoking bud can get rid of that, and also have many other beneficial effects, then I say it should be legal for medicinal purposes.
I would like it legalised for recreational use, but I doubt THAT will ever happen...

Marijuana isn’t a drug. It’s an herbal enhancer. Seriously...McDonald’s is worse for you.

No... No its not really. It should be illegal. Note im very biased. Never drank or did any drugs(try to not take advil either). I have had many opportunities to do drugs for free or drink but i have chosen not to. I just stick to my 35 cent coca cola instead of 1.50 beer or 10 dollars for a gram of pot. Just dont see the point of it. I know im going to get flamed but what ever.

Brjo, choosing to be straight edge isn’t a bad thing but you can’t be completely opposed to a drug unless you have tried it, or have scientific proof that it’s bad for you. Medicinal Marijuana is not traditional marijuana in a sense that it’s lab grow and bred and most of the toxins are eliminated. Medicinal Marijuana is also smoked through a vaporizor (which I have and was using). If marijuana is smoked properly through a vaproizer, it removes almost everything but the THC and in turn, makes it less harmful by far than the average cigarette.

The problem with the whole "lyke omg kidz could buy them?!" is that you can do that with any other kind of pre5cription drug, and most have effects about 10x’s worse than marijuana (think closer to exstacy). And if pharmacies and the patients were the only ones allowed access to the marijuana, then it would be even less readily available. At least if you legalize it you can put restrictions on age and who uses it. Last time I checked, drug dealers weren’t checking ID’s.

I had that exact same opinion, until I tried weed for once. It completely changed my outlook on weed. Alcohol, is something different to me.
But honestly, what does weed do to you that is bad? Makes you hungry? That can be used, makes you thirsty? Thats good. Makes you happy? How can laughing at things be bad? It makes you tired after wards? That can help insomniacs.
I cant really think of one proven bad fact that weed does to you(short term).

Never new that and for the last guy who said that he had same opinion until he tried pot, i assume you know smoke it, which is another reason why i dont do any type of drug, my family has addiction in its genes and i dont wanna get hooked on some illigal shit or some stuff that will mess me up. Im high on life. And id much rather drink coke

Coke can lead to a caffeine addiction, anyways it’s not an addictive substance by any means because THC is the only chemical that you intake with Medicinal Marijuana, which by itself is not physically addictive (nor is any other kind of weed). The main argument is "well, it’s mentally addicting", yea, so are Swedish Fish and potato chips. The fact of the matter is is that if someone can control themselves and use it in moderation, then it won’t even come close to being a problem. Hell, even too many vitamins at once can be bad for you.

Medical marijuana is getting handed out in some sort of THC capsule now last time I checked.

The THC capsule was recalled because the materials used to make the gel capsule caused people to vomit, which makes taking the pill pretty much useless.

I’m real sick of that "Alcohol VS Marijuana" argument
Alcohol can be taken in moderation and appeals to many fine tastes.

That’s true Slash, in fact, Alcohol isn’t even physically addicting. AA was created during the 1930’s during prohibition by radical Protestant groups to scare people away from drinking. They actually have no scientific evidence that alcohol addiction is nothing more than a metal addiction.

A puff from a joint is not the same as a sip from a beer. No one is going to go to a wedding and toast the new couple with a hit from the giant bong then dig into the cake. Marijuana’s affects are much different from alcohol.
Also, alcohol is physically addicting, I’ve seen withdrawal from it first hand more than once.

Yea, it inscreases your dopamine levels and kills your nervous system if you abuse it. The thing is though, that your brain doesn’t say "I need Alcohol" (such as it would say "I need Nicotine" with a cigarette) it says "I want to be happy again". Alcohol is extremely damaging to the body in mass amounts, but not chemically addicting.

At my wedding they will.
I will also do weed instead of "21 shots" at my 21st. Simply because i prefer it to alcohol.
But yeah, socially alcohol is more accepted. But that is not because of the substance, it’s more of legality issue.
I’m almost certain, that if weed was legal, just like booze. That it would be used more.
