This further proves that the FDA is not concerned with patients safety.

Dope is called dope because it’s dope

It’s called marijuana to associate it’s use to minorities: Maria and Juan are the most common Hispanic names…think about it.

It’s called illegal because it’s the only medicine you can grow yourself. The top reasons people take pills? pain, insomnia, anxiety, depression. What does cannabis alleviate or cure? All of the above and many more, but most importantly Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Contrary to popular belief cannabinoids are antioxidants and neurorotectants. Translation: they protect your brain. 

But don’t take my word on it. Here we have irrevocable proof in  the public domain that nobody discusses, govt funded US patent 6630507 titled, “Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants.” The govt  holds two opposing positions, that cannabis has no medical use, and that is does. Taxpayer money is being used to study and patent cannabis, and taxpayer money is being used to mislead the public(Aka propaganda) and imprison them. Mind you the DEA has card blanche to lie to the public if they think it’s in the “publics best interest”. Just how they think it’s in the public’s best interest to legalize the two deadliest substances…alcohol and the mutant offspring of tobacco, cigarettes.

@activist cat: I read your petition and thought it was really on point, and I am signing it. There’s a typo on US patent 6630507, there’s a O missing, if corrected it should link directly to that patent.

I already know the effects of long term Klonopin usage. Right now I’m trying to wean myself off of them, it’s taking time. And you’re correct, if you go natural, we upset the apple cart with BigPharma. Where will they get the money and comps that they give to the doctors to prescribe all these PolyPharmas that they feed us. At the VA Hospital, when you complain to your Mental Health doctor about how the drugs make you feel worse, their common reply is “Well, let’s just increase the dosage and see how that works” Arrrrrrghhhhh

I think people forget that at least at the moment marijuana isn’t an option for everybody. I have GAD, I treat my anxiety with klonopin and it’s been the only legal drug that’s worked for me. Before being able to even get a prescription for klonopin, I had to go through the usual regime of anti-depressants each with their own unique set of side-effects and withdrawals. Prozac, Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Celexa, Lexapro at higher dosages–than in combination with Wellbutrin… That was hellish in itself. The reality of the situation is if I smoke weed and fail ONE drug test I’ll lose my job–along with any possibility of being rehired at any other DOT job for life. This drug works well for me, it’s been the only one that has. Don’t demonize it because Stevie f**king Nicks abused it. When taken as directed it can be a life saver.

I find a synergy between k-pins and chronic. I rarely can blaze anymore w/o paranoia regardless whether I hit a big bong or a couple little rips off a pipe/joint (some say due to GABA maturation since it didn’t bother me b4). I would never disparage marijuana, and if it works on anxiety for some then great for them. Me on the other hand, is a toss up. I can become Mr. Laid Back or I literally lie in bed waiting for the 1 hit of weed to wear off so I stop panicking over who knows what at the time. If I take k-pin, I can smoke bowls all night. I would never dream of doing benzos every night though. I think the solution (furrowing brows of smokers everywhere lol j/k) is that you don’t need to be impaired every night. There is a difference between use and abuse. The doctor is not responsible for u losing your pills, sorry, he’s doing his job. So on a Friday, if k-pins let’s me enjoy my night (i don’t drink either so no cross CNS depressants happening lol)i don’t see the harm. I’m not going to take 4mg a day for 5 years.

Also, nothing is perfect, you burn anything and you are inhaling carbon into your lungs which does affect them. It may not be “carcinogenic”, but even burning paper and inhaling it isn’t good for you. Vaporizers seem ok thus far though.
