I think your "99%" stats are a bit HIGH
and I never said the HIGH was an evil feeling... Lets look at it from this way...
I need medicine to make it thru the day... I no longer rely on big pharm and a 250$ bill each mo to get my rx...
The OP in the case states he has a MEDICAL issue therefore this is a MEDICAL thread not a HEY LETS ALL SMOKE AND GET WASTED.
my simple minded point being this...
if you want ANYONE else to take this medication seriously.... start taking it that way yourself. (The reason this is legal now is due to good hardworking folks who petioned the courts to have the RIGHT to use the MEDICINE...... not beacuse YOU like to get HIGH) and IMO.. the "HIGH" or medicated effect" is not the same for you and I... if I use it, what it does for me is BLOCK the pain and stop me from thinking about it. I do not get the psycho active effects fully like most kids want...
I understand people are use to the term HIGH or baked or flying or what have you. The perception that people have of POT USERS (medical or rec) is bad.
Take the movie Pineapple Express... or many of the new and old stoner comedies...
WE are played a dim witted unkempt low lifes who do nothing but smoke weed and talk like a coma patient waking up..
wow.. sure the comedic effect is great but the portrayal is pretty far off.. them portraying Cannabis this way is about equal to them saying HEY DONT SMOKE THIS STUFF IT WILL MAKE YOU HOOKED FOR LIFE!
I have 4 kids... a 23 year old (getting married 6-30) f##%$er making me a grampa too

anyhow a 21 year old a 16 year old girl *back off* and a 11 year old son ALL of whom have seen some of the pot movies and have stated to me... Dad I am soooo glad you dont ACT that way.
*summery for those who are to HIGH to read the above*
If you want to be taken seriously with cannabis... act that way yourself..
