A serious question

[RADAR]

A serious question , please vote everyone

lets just say someone was recently diagnosed with glaucoma and has already lost 60% of vision in the left eye,and there a spot in the right eye that hasn't posed problems just yet.Say said person has access to a seed bank to grow his own indoors to save his vision, if you were in that situation ,would you do it even tho it was illegal n your state?
As i said this is just a hypothetical statement.
Please vote.

Sight or breaking the law.

Easy choice.

If there was really no other treatment.

 

[RADAR]

If there was really no other treatment.

Ok! say the Dr said he can only hope to slow it down with meds, maybe possibly
stop it,(maybe is a big IF) but would you wait several months to risk more vision loss if another option was available?
Now put yourself in this situation.

[macrophage69alpha]

marijuana (and in truth most other drugs) should be legal. Regulated and the population educated.

 

[jack sparrow]

I would use whatever means necessary to regain my vision.

 

[RADAR]

for those who are not familiar with this, imagine having to look out of a peephole with wax paper over it ,thats glaucoma.

radar,

smoke weed. its ok. we support your decision.

btw- it is pretty easy to get a script for the new (yet actually old) version of marinol. (though how effective that is compared to smoking???)

from what i have read, and asking the Dr (who has no clue)its too slow acting, so medical MJ(not just any mind you) has the potency to do the job.
so the choice is risk going blind and miserable,or hi and mellow, now thats something for a 54 sucessful businessman well known in his town,who would ever have thought! Not me that's for sure!

Oh! the paths life leads you!

I'd probably impose a genocide if it meant not going blind.

def start puffin'!!

 

[blut wump]

Weed's not that bad, RADAR.

Having the occasional medicinal J makes you a raging druggie about as much as popping a few dbols makes you a steroid monster.

i agree.
i would use it radar. i would learn the laws first though.

Using cannibus for medical reasons is very reasonable in my view. The laws that prohibit such use are antiquated and harken back to the days of "reefer madness."

I would support legislation that legalizes such Physcian prescribed use.

I would also not convict a person for such present day illegal use if in a jury with the case before me.

One of the smartest people to articulate the positions on this arguement is Montel Williams. Such use is keeping him alive.

Is the high from such use addictive? Yes ... very. Is this a problem? Yes ... but an acceptable side effect for a greater good.

 

[maxpain]

ABSOLUTELY !!! Cannabis has lots of medicinal purposes. But the governmet makes more off of it being illegal than if it was legal. So the changes of it happening are slim to none.

 

[heatherrae]

This topic is really important to me. I have never used illegal drugs in my life, but I did get marijuana for my mother when she was dying of cancer. It was the only thing that helped the pain, and if anyone thinks there is anything wrong with that, they can kiss my ass.

 

[musclemom]

Okay, I'll vote yes, BUTTTTT, two points:

1. SUPPOSEDLY, nothing marijuana does is better than what prescription medication can do to alleviate the condition of glaucoma, that's a fact.

2. I think weed should be legal, always have. I think it should be sold the same way hard liquor is, special store, you need to have I.D., the product should be monitored and have standards. I think the "gateway drug" concept is ... frankly, shit, but that's me. There's a lot of people that will turn around and say there are studies that show otherwise, but I truly believe that people who move onto harder drugs have that personality and would do the harder drugs ANYWAY, weed or no weed.

Why grow pot and try to justifiy it when you get caught doesnt make any sense...Buy it and smoke it or get a doctor to give yea a script...Hell ill sell you all you want <llllllllllllllllllllllll/// ~ ~

you cannot regain vision lost by glaucoma

RADAR

most people with glaucoma see much better than what you are describing

 

[GoldenDelicious]

the legality of MJ smoking would not factor into my decision making process.

the other implications of MJ use, such as tripping off latent schizophrenia in predisposed individuals etc etc weighed against the likely benefit of using the drug is what i would base my choice on

MJ legislation is heavily influenced by trying to control rec use of the drug, rather than weighing up medical costs/benefits as per usual. the thought of factoring drug politics into my health choices is...offensive to me.

good luck with your decision. if you do decide to break the law, plan for the worst and dont make silly mistakes that can make life worse if you get caught eg growing too much, packaging it in such a way that will work against you in court...that sort of thing.

cheerios

 

[The Shadow]

of course

 

[EnderJE]

Wouldn't it have been easier to just put up a poll that said...

"I wanna toke...do you support me?"

 

[RADAR]

NO! I didn't choose to make this decision but it is forced upon me! however i will do whatever it takes to keep my sight,once that's gone,I am nothing!
once you wear these shoes i bet an opinion would change rather quickly,it did for me.

[heatherrae]

glaucoma runs in my family too, Radar. If I ever got it, and they said mj would help, I would use it. I hate to smoke, though. It chokes me up. I can't even smoke a cig.

I do believe in the "gateway drug" concept, but think that it's a cultural phenomenon, not a physical or chemical one. Simply put - once you buy into the illegal drug culture, you are exposed to opportunities to try more different drugs.

If marijuana were not illegal, if you didn't have to go to an illegal drug dealer to get it, then the gateway thing may no longer be an issue.

I wouldn't smoke it even if it were legal, just because I don't like becoming stupid anymore.

 

[jafo]

iwould tell YOUR friend to start growing it ...there are alot of books on how to do it right and easy .....NOTHING could stop me from trying everything in my power to keep my eye sight ......


heck when you think about it ...over half the world smokes pot ( i dont know just a guess)


blaze away have fun and when you get that bush nice and fat full of buds ...no seeds and just dripping with good stuff ...call me

join

 

[-SD-]

You forgot the poll choice: "I smoke mj no matter what my eyesite or state laws are".
Thats what I would select.

 

[Gaylords_Son]

smoke it up

do you really think that weed makes you stupid?:

 

[msam76]

Hell yeah I would

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

I don't know of anyone who hasn't smoked recreationally, so if it's for a medical reason then it would seem even more practical. I don't smoke anymore but it's stupid that any state prohibits medicinal use, since those people are usually almost retired anyway.

 

[heatherrae]

The whole gateway drug thing is such horse shit. That is sort of like saying that milk is a gateway drug because most people have had milk before they start shooting heroine. No shit, huh? Most people are not going to begin with hardcore drugs right off the bat. MJ is just much more common. So the fact that people did that first is no big surprise. It's a false correlation and a specious argument. The statistics don't prove that smoking MJ makes people try harder drugs.

dB said it was more of a cultural effect, which I agree with a little. MJ was the first illegal drug I've tried, not coke. But I don't do any of them anymore so they can shitcan the whole gateway/addiction thing cuz it's bullshit scare tactics.

 

[DBBT]

smoke da dank

 

[Quadsweep]

I cannot even fuckin' believe anyone would answer anything but yes....its your sight,,,,fuck the law! Fuck it anyway...I smoke it and my sight is fine. I will say I knew a woman in her 60's who every sibliong mother and father had glacoma but her and her brother ....and they are the only two who smoke weed regular....some laws are begging to be broken...this is one.

[WarriorPL]

Easy answer... yes yes yes.

 

[FISHTALES]

I voted yes, and I dont smoke either.

 

[theoak01]

doooo ittttt

 

[gjohnson5]

Can I get a "Hell Yeah!"

 

[enigma4dub]

move to oregon or some state where it is legal if legality is the issue. sight is a good reason to re-locate in my opinion.

whatever to save my sight man....

 

[BlondeBombshell27]

My aunt Barb who use to live in California use to have skin cancer. Yes, in California they had or use to have medical mj for people who have cancer or glaucoma. I think Minnesota and Colorado have medical mj, but I'm not quite sure though. My aunt Barb use to smoke pot for medical purposes only when she had skin cancer and when she was still living in California.

 

[mkazzbmf]

I am a recovered drug addict.....this would cause probs for me....but hey what can ya do?
