You really think this is an argument about leftist, liberals and that whole crap? If people like you are helping the fly boy liar here, no wonder things are going down the drain. I think dirtpusher did a much more honest defense of his point of views about the issue at hand. I presented facts not here say or anecdotal over dramatized stories.....facts about the substance. I also clearly stated that I am not against marijuana but I am against LYING about its real medicinal properties to sell it. These people (if they would classify as such) just sell you the substance using used car salesman tactics to start a dependence in you and create a captivated crowd to continue their business. In the end of all this when the dust settles the true benefits of this substance would be so prostituted that will loose credibility. But these liars and hypocrites would have make a nice fortune resting on the backs of foolish, poorly informed individuals.

If garbage like this paladin POS wants to keep the argument as a political one please continue to do so. It has nothing to do with it. The facts makes this kind of people always mad, but they are there for anyone willing to truly inform themselves. Counselors like fly boy here only want you to buy the substance, be aware and be smart.

Important to emphasize...."so we can find out which claims are backed up". EXACTLY. That is where I have a problem with. These places who are currently selling it are doing so unethically and without any scruples. They exaggerate and hide the negative sides of the substance to sell more. The dependence aspect is a plus for them! If in my practice in order to recommend a substance Im completely RESPONSIBLE to provide the patient with the pros and cons, there is a dosage to each drug and a frequency to use it correctly. Why not applying the same to these places? Is there a warning given to avoid driving while on the influence of marijuana given to these patients? Nope. Do they warn about the dependence? Nope. Now having to read one of these lairs here propagating false info prompt me to answer back. Have you read all the improper info that for example dirtpusher have written here? You seem like a well informed person and would surely agree with me. The poor guy perhaps is just ignorant but such ignorance is perpetuated when liars like the fly boy here show themselves. Why not base actions on true knowledge and not hear say and fairy tales? They are doing a disservice to a potentially good alternative just to make a quick buck riding the wave.
