But like you said, they give you a list of covered reasons right away, and I specifically found a place that doesn't ask for any medical paperwork proof of illness. I told them I get blinding migraines (which is technically true, but I only get them like 1x/year)

The interesting thing though is that the doctor(s) did actually always lecture me a bit about other things I could than THC. Then some of them would give me shit for the amount of mg I would take in my edibles. They'd be like you know 10mg edibles is like 7 bong hits right???

And I'm sitting here thinking "I would be almost hallucinating with 7 bong hits, that can't be right. Plus some of the chicks at the weed shop tell me they do 100mg in a sitting..."

By the time the doctors started lecturing me about alternatives to THC I could try I felt like cutting them off with:

"Ok let's keep this simple. I'm paying you guys cash right now. And you're giving me a script. Let's cut out this foreplay"

yeah it was all some bs ploy to increase public access to MJ. "bong hit" is not a unit of measurement.

there is no standardization of thc content in weed you smoke nor is there any regulation about the mg in your edibles. they will have a lab test a sample from a batch, never assuring consistency of the entire batch.

same goes for when you buy flower at a dispensary, "18" or 20%" thc on the weed label is about as reliable as chinese maple syrup.

not that i buy anything from a dispensary, they are alot more expensive than any street weed. shit that I buy is usually from an illegal online dealer. USPS ships right to my house w/ tracking #

been doing that over 3 years now.

check leafedout.org

if any cops wanna hassle me because i dont carry weed in the dispensary containers they'll receive my ID, my medical card then they can cite me for whatever that law is and fuck their mothers.

im also not stupid enough to regularly drive around with contraband, and people never suspect that im a pothead anyway, i don't have the look, the attitude, or the smell

The oncology people threatened to cut us off if she ever used weed. Either they never noticed or they did and said nothing, probably a hollow threat from the insurance company.

Weak-ass delta 8 here, too. Medical cards technically exist in Georgia, esp for cancer patients, but it's slow going.

No, it was a political strategy that involved an end-run around an archaic Federal drug system where moving anything out of Schedule 1 is nearly impossible. Schedule 1 status was causing distress to medical patients that needed access to cannabis for medical purposes. You can find old youtube videos still of law enforcement officers arresting patients when they had days left to live.

Don't look at your own cannabis use at the reason MJ was made legal for medical reasons in some states. Actual real patients demanded it.

You happened to benefit from the success of their strategy.

Not a BS ploy at all. An impressively well conceived strategy that has slowly worked.

if a regulated pharma company was the distributor, it would be legit. There is no reliable system of dosage at a dispensary, or from the doctor.

there is nothing stopping pharma from selling THC pills, in fact they do and those pills have exacting dosages with the same medicinal benefits.

but the fact you can legally purchase and consume marijuana flower, means that it's like you said, an end run to get around a stupid prohibition.

don't fool yourself into believing that this is some miracle treatment. it's just legal pot, and there is $billions to be made.

Pharma companies are not a good model to follow.

This plant can grow in your backyard or your closet if it is legal to do so in your state.

Trex, go talk to a Chemo Patient. Go talk to a Parkison's patient. Go talk to the parent of Dravet's Syndrome kid. You know - replace the ideas you made up in your head - with actual facts from actual people.

Your lack of empathy for people with real diagnosed medical conditions is telling.

This is a mathematical fallacy.

Not only that, but since we are talking about categories, it's not even the situation.

We start out with 1. Ourselves. There is no zero. Atheists say we can stick at 1 for sure. Theists say 2 is a better bet. Agnostics don't know if there's more than 1.

[Seducio]

Depends on the mathematical system.

In a base 2 system the first number is 0.

This is what computers use. 0s and 1s

I tell people "I like pot, I don't like most of pot culture"

ahh yeah the miracle of modern medicine

"Hey everybody, let's artificially prolong the life-span of the species' worst genetic products, thereby enabling them to find each other and produce even worse genetic products, and totally give the middle finger to the righteous filter of natural evolution"

Yeah, that's gonna be good for the species as a whole. I wonder if it will lead to epidemic levels of mental illness, overpopulation, genetic disorders and general social unrest.

nahh, it couldn't. We know better than nature does, our ~100 years of medical research absolutely knows what is best for the species, not ~millions of years of evolution.

There is no way we can fail.

MJ is fine imo for medical and psychiatric purposes.

It's terrible entertainment and should stay out of the public in vapor or smoke form cuz in some ppl instead of a high they get hallucinations and psychosis.
