lmao, just as i thought.. you can't name one drug that would be off of the market today if weed became legal, not a single one...
thread fail much??
I think you are right on this part about pop. controll,money or just basicly greed.here is only one of the reasons i think so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUG_JAbtziY (Woman Diagnosed with Crohn's Disease Cures Herself with Tree Bark).
The real failure was your school system. Drugs may or may not stay onthe market but if marijuana is curing diseases they obviously aren't going to be sold as much and therefore they LOSE MONEY.

and ps, you act like if weed does suddenly be found to cure anything that big pharma won't be the first in a long line of people who will make a pharma grade cannabis and make the real thing worthless..

For the record I agree with you. However for fun and science. Here's a list. Gonna shoot for more than ten.
Appetite enhancers,
Dronabinol
Megestrol
Somatotropin
Opiate Pain relievers
Morphine
Codine
Hydrocodone
Oxycodone
Methadone
Fentanyl
Meperidine
That's ten, continuing.
In many cases it can replace prescription Nsaids (anti inflammatory) of which there are more than I'm going to type. (I came up with a dozen)
These are known uses, without addressing cancer treatment or any other anecdotal uses. I think it's safe to say that it has the potential to dent the bottom line but I don't believe it's "THE" reason weed is illegal.

The only clinical trial testing THC as a treatment against cancer growth was a recently completed British pilot study. For three weeks, researchers injected standard doses of THC into mice that had been implanted with human lung cancer cells, and found that tumors were reduced in size and weight by about 50 percent in treated animals compared to a control group. There was also about a 60 percent reduction in cancer lesions on the lungs in these mice as well as a significant reduction in protein markers associated with cancer progression.
And then of course the Rick Sampson story... there are plenty of instances, links, studies, etc.
Are you serious? If weed was legal completely you could grow your own and pharmacies would get absolutely nothing.

come on, you just had an operation and got your hip replaced lets say like me moms just did.. if the dr tried to hand her a blunt over a few percs i'd be the first to jump up and punch him in the face and ask wtf are you thinking??
weed may help minor aches and pains, but i'd be damned if i think it could ever replace an opiate pain killer for severe pain like broken arms and legs and shit...
Again, this is where you're retarded. Nobody said weed is going to cure everything and obviously other drugs can do things marijuana cannot do. That being said, that doesn't mean marijuana can't do things others can't either... like curing and treating certain forms of cancer without any negative side effects.

You'd be wrong. I rolled a motorcycle. Smashed my patella, broke the tibia in 4 directions and sheared off the tibial plateau. I have SEVERE osteoarthritis and am pretty much holding a useless knee together with a carbon fibre brace. Weed is AS or more effective than ANY opiate I've used in the 13 years I've been coping with this injury.

opiates help my pain, herb helps my pain. but opiates + herb does wonders for my pains. they work in synergy for me.
just adding to the convo, lol

He thinks everyone is the same and that if opiates helped one person more than weed would, it would affect everyone the same way. No, not at all, some people could just be swayed into using opiates for the fear of being arrested for using an illegal substance.

you might be so stoned out of your gourd that you don't care about the pain, but there is no way that weed is a better pain killer than an opiate based medication.. i won't believe it..
i've been smoking over 20 years, and when i fall down and break a bone and smoke joint,i might not care about the pain as much as i did before i was stoned, but it's no where near the same thing as me taking an oxy or w/e..
And your experiences apply to everyone else?
Go back and read his post and then get back to me on who started what.

As a matter of fact I'm FAR more functional using weed. I'm getting up and out of the house more, happier and healthier overall. My pain is permanent something I get to live with for the rest of my life. But I assure you proper application of marijuana (as evidenced by my experience) is as effective if not more than using prescription opiates. Your mom just had a hip replaced?
Put some of this together and have her rub it on her hip and tell me MJ doesn't work.
