How can a country arrest its citizens for possessing a Schedule 1 narcotic when they have a Federal program people can join to obtain the same Schedule 1 narcotic for medical purposes. How can a government regulate a Schedule 1 narcotic and at the same time arrest people if they obtain it outside of the Federal guidelines."<br /><br />It is time to stop the hypocrisy; logical has to prevail here. If we can get Cannabis rescheduled to say, Schedule 3 (Tylenol) then we also drop the restrictions on researches and doctors. This only makes sense.<br /><br />Thank you for this article, it is inspirational!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10596237447585227270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430278306583614898.post-77530568668130925062011-04-04T09:11:39.760-03:002011-04-04T09:11:39.760-03:00I am living with MS in Newfoundland,Canada.

It is illegeal to have/purchase/grow/use marijuana and to get it legally I would have to go through more red tape than if I was trying to pass a bill!! And I would have to get it from Nova Scotia...which means the government is forcing me to buy drugs through Canada Post!! Isn't THAT illegal, too? So....what do I do? What option is left for me? Guess that doesn't matter to those who have the power to change it. <br />I wonder.....if they or their loved one was diagnosed....would it matter THEN?<br /><br />Keep it up, Marcel!<br />stupidcat@live.caAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13256960739879078944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430278306583614898.post-76688417951846921372010-12-20T12:13:14.576-04:002010-12-20T12:13:14.576-04:00Great question.... There have been numerous studie...Great question.... There have been numerous studies regarding the effectiveness and medicinal uses. Most recently a Double Blind Trail in Canada by inhalation for pain. It proved that more is better. Another trial is currently in it's last phase using high concentrated doses for patients with MS. (I already know what results they are finding.) That one is being conducted in England.<br /><br />The studies that have been done have been small, because there is no interest by Pharmaceutical companies. Cannabis works and it is damaging to profits. As long as they can continue to keep cannabis on the Drug Schedules, they can continue to work on synthetic forms to appease patients that want relief and still make a profit.<br /><br />The problem is, it has been proven time and again that the whole plant is needed and the synthetics are pretty useless. Because the plant can essentially grow anywhere including some harsh environments, trying to sell a medicine that anyone can grow in a bucket of mud.. won't work.<br /><br />Of course the same organization that allows me to legally use cannabis (Health Canada) also promotes the propaganda to the kids that cannabis is a gateway drug which is a proven blatant lie.Marcelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061223748898636119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430278306583614898.post-27164458254480788332010-12-20T11:59:49.402-04:002010-12-20T11:59:49.402-04:00And to think for me, from 1974-1978 during college...And to think for me, from 1974-1978 during college it was just recreational, who knew it was good for you, maybe I should not have stopped. I guess I should not be such a stickler about my adult kids then. <br /><br />Seriously though perhaps the best way to approach this is through the pharmaceutical companies doing research. What is documented in that field? I am sure there is quite a bit there because it is medically approved.Physically Challenged Ministryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101715162871241324noreply@blogger.com
