I am a gay man. 48 years old. I almost
died from AIDS. I could not eat. When I
did I threw up immediately. My tummy was
tore up and continuous violent diarrhea
was the norm.. I lost 67 lbs. in 3 weeks.
I would sweat so horrifically bad when
asleep that I slept on towels and my LTP
would have to change them several times in
a night. Like every hour. Drenched. My
doctor put me on HIV meds and prescribed
Marrinol to help me eat. It worked but I
would still throw up so it didn't really
help. Marijuana. The weed. I smoked it and
the nausea stopped. I smoked it and my
appetite was back and the food stayed
down. I smoked it and I was able to sleep
threw the night. Say what you will about
medical marijuana. Until you have walked a
mile in my shows and even if you have, I
will always be for legalized medical
marijuana. Anyone with half a heart should
respect that. You can bye cigs to give
yourselves cancer, alcohol to deteriorate
your liver, crap from every fast food
stand on the planet to harden your
arteries but you deny me the one little
weed that can make my quality of life 100
percent better and make a criminal out of
me? Who is committing the true sin here?
With marijuana you just plant it, pick it
and smoke it. It couldn't be any more
natural. GOD put marijuana on this planet
for a reason. I am a living example to
that fact..

Oh geez...here we go with how marijuana
cures all the ills of the world....
It has been shown to be effective with
NAUSEA in AIDS and CANCER, and in the
treatment of GLAUCOMA. 99.99% of
marijuana users neither have these
conditions nor are interested in using the
drug for these indications. Their idea of
legalization based on "medical" use is to
create a free for all with unlimited
access based on pseudomedical criteria.
Tell that to the kids on the bus in
Kentucky that are dead due to marijuana or
the child killed by a guy stoned out of
his mind on marijuana and running over the
kid walking along side, but not in the
road.

Oh geezzz, here we go again blah blah
blah...al...sweetheart...I think you may
want to take a chill pill. No one has ever
OD'ed on pot. Nor do people drive into
school children and laugh like mad men and
roll on the grown in hysterical ranting
madness. Sounds like someone has watched
Refer Madness one too many times.  Be informed and
don't be a hater.  Its OK...take a
deep breath and try to find your happy
place.

No one ODs on marijuana, but the effects
of marijuana can be just as tragic as
alcohol for those who are irresponsible
enough to take others lives into their
hands by driving while high.

If you say so, sweetheart....if you say
so...  ...and what "news" channel do you
watch? Fox News or CBN or The 700 Club? I
am sure it has to be one or the
other....so predictable and such a waist
of my time...bye,love, try to smile and be
happy. God Bless you,dear.

Listen up Algosdoc--Homerx just told his
story and wanted to put it out there how
therapeutic marijuana was for him-- he
lost 67 lbs in 3 weeks and was quite
literally dying...had u been in his place
i bet u would have done anything,( yes ,
even put that wicked weed cig to your
cannibus loathing lips) to be able to eat
and nourish your body without nausea,
start feeling better and stronger and have
the confirmation that yes u might get
through this episode and live. He wasn't
on heroin-- it was marijuana -- hon.
There was no need to get all huffy and
ugly because u are so marjuana phobic--but
i see that someone has deleted all that
really unnecessary mean spirited stuff u
wrote. There was no need for that--even
if u do not agree with a person's opinion,
blasting them and being rude and hateful
is not acceptable on these forums. Just
say what u want to say (and please back up
with verifiable sources) and then go on.
Debating a topic is fine, but for u, it
does not seem you possess the tact to do
so in an acceptable manner and that is
sooo counterproductive. We all have our
problems and i certainly hope and pray
that u get help with yours. Peace--Love--
and Prayers--Bobbette PS We are all
feeling human beings--sensitive and
fragile spirits. i pray u lose the anger.
for u.

Sorry, I have no problems. Society might
well benefit from medical benefits derived
from the marijuana plant but smoking it in
one study demonstrated a 6 times increase
in respiratory complications. The problem
is not with the plant marijuana, but with
marijuana users. Only a very small
fraction of marijuana users have AIDs,
cancer, or glaucoma, therefore the
"medical" term attached is being used
inappropriately by those that would love
to have free and easy access to what has
been determined by the US Supreme Court,
the US Congress, and several US Presidents
to be an illegal illicit drug. The way to
change laws is not by deciding which US
laws are worthy of our following, but are
through petitions, contacting your
senator, use of data demonstrating
efficacy in medical situations, engaging
in activism to change the law. It is
doubtful that even 0.1% of those desiring
to have marijuana legalized for medical
use have engaged in any of these forms of
change, but had decided on their own to
ignore the US laws, just as illegal aliens
ignore US laws. The appropriate place for
marijuana used for medical purposes is not
on the local street corner where you can
hang out with potheads, and those that
would sell you harder drugs, but is in the
drugstore. If the US is to adopt a
"medical marijuana" policy then it should
be in the form Canada has adopted such as
Sativa, and not as an excuse to open the
floodgates to anyone who wants it. If you
think marijuana use is pervasive now,
examine the correlation of another drug
that was once illegal, alcohol, and check
out its use. It is used by over 50% of
the population monthly with tragic results
that tens of thousands lose their lives
each year because of uncontrolled use.
I am happy homerx found something that
works for him. It is doubtful that all
other available and demonstrably effective
treatments were tried....an illegal drug
happened to be available and it was used,
and was claimed to be effective. I wrote
nothing "mean spirited" but absolutely
believe it is imperative that when one is
being falsely accused of doing something
illegal "hate mail" that the person making
such accusations demonstrate to the forum
and to the administrator the veracity of
their accusations. There was no proof
here because it didn't happen. What you
perceive as "huffy and ugly" was merely
defending the right to post without being
falsely accused of illegal activity in
violation of federal law. Resorting to
false accusations in order to defend a
viewpoint is unacceptable on this or any
other forum.
Those that are really interested in the
use of marijuana products for the
treatment of specific diseases will call
their senators and representatives, start
petition drives for responsible use of
marijuana, talk to their local TV
stations, do their research on the subject
using accepted medical journal articles
and abstracts freely located on www.pubmed.com , and
will use LEGAL means to make their point
instead of deciding that traditional
medicines won't work before even trying
them and engaging in illicit drug use in
violation of US law. Hopefully these
useful suggestions will not be perceived
as too "mean spiritied" or "hateful".

You know, it is sad when people cannot
effectively discuss a topic without
getting their post removed for review
because they do not have the ability to
express themselves ( opinion--only
opinion) in a polite constructive way and
be open and respectful to the right of
others to have a possibly differing
opinion. We are all different and have
had different experiences. Lots and lots
of things are being used and abused in
our society today. Life is hard for a lot
of people, the least we can do is to be
kind and just LISTEN to others and respond
in a respectful manner. Peace-- Love--and
Prayers--Bobbette

It is sad when interlopers jump to
conclusions without knowing the facts
about a post. The post was temporarily
removed because I posted a link where
people can do their own research, the
national library of medicine site. The
administrator has stated the post will be
reinstated. Differing opinions are
expected, jumping to conclusions based on
fantasy does little to forward a
discussion.

Bobbette, I couldn't agree with you more.
I don't know what I said (nothing I think)
to make her go ballistic like she did.
 She
obviously didn't agree and wanted to fight
about it. I don't have the time , the
energy or the desire to fight with any
one. Thank you for your kind words. We
need all the kind hearts and sweet spirits
we can get in this crazy world. Its way
too easy to get angry and yell and shout
and not listen to different opinions. You
can have a dialog together without being
nasty...its called civilization so why not
be civilized, right?

No, it is sad when the
moderator/administrator has to pull your
nasty rantings off the site to review and
as far as i am concerned they need to stay
off. It seems u may have a problem
expressing yourself in a constructive and
kind manner. Interloper??? Isn't this a
free open forum?? There are RULES about
expressing yourself here-- i suggest u
review them and try to put them into
use--if not why don't u try an anger
management forum????? You would probably
be right in your element there. Good luck
to you ! Peace and Prayers__Bobbette

Oh, by the way, i did read the dialogue
between the two of u yesterday before
your entry was deleted for review--so i
do know what and how u expressed
yourself-- some people do not realize how
they come across in these forums. Praying
for U--Bobbette--I am serious maybe an
anger management forum would be great for
u -- some people do not even know they are
angry and lash out at others in so many
different ways. Good luck, Al-- Bobbette

Links are sometimes removed automaticaly
because mods don't always look at where
the link goes before removing it; that, or
the forum does it automatically. This is
to prevent spam. There was no interloping
involved.

Thank u, Eiri! It seems Al thinks she can
accuse people of being whatever--and
because she says it --it is so. I believe
she has said enough about this topic and
on this thread. I am a nurse and i really
had it rough when i worked in psyc for a
while--that was my most frustrating
experience as a nurse. Thanks for setting
Algosdoc straight. Peace--
love--Prayers--Bobbette

Hey, Al --did u go back and read what Eiri
wrote--there was no interloping. An
interloper is" someone who intrudes on the
privacy or property of another without
permission." i had to go ahead and google
it to make sure there wasn't some other
meaning to it of which i was guilty--and
nope that was not the case. It is unkind
to accuse someone of doing something that
just is not so. You cannot make something
be so just by saying so. I know this may
be a difficult concept for some people in
these unprecedented political times--but
in REALITY and TRUTH be known--that is how
it is. I am truly sorry u are not a happy
camper and i pray you will see the light
soon. Peace--love and Prayers--Bobbette
