No wonder the Republican leaders don't want to legalize, their big

"Rusty Williams is the patient advocate on the West Virginia Medical
Cannabis Advisory Board. He said a survey of states that have legalized
medical marijuana showed a sharp drop in Medicaid drug spending.

"They're seeing a collective annual savings of $156 billion,? Williams
said. ?People are opting to pay out-of-pocket for cannabis rather than
have their insurance pay for pharmaceuticals."

also
"On a human level, they point to a study in the Journal of the American
Medical Association finding states with legal medical cannabis saw an
average 25 percent reduction in opiate overdoses. "

Oh my gosh Bob.* You can't find a single case where Democrats took
money from big pharma.* Say it ain't so Bob.


The whole medical marijuana thing is just a smoke screen by the pot
heads to get it legalized.* Only legitimate use that I know of is
marinol and the pure chemical is used:

In spite of what they like to tell you, marijuana has been thoroughly
tested by the drug companies and even if it is sometimes effective on
an illness, there are much better drugs available.

* You need to get updated on the uses of medical marijuana and it's
derivatives . Tell me , are the drug companies motivated to find medical
uses for a product that's out of their control - and that they ain't
going to make any money on ? I think not . I know people that use pot or
it's derivatives to treat many problems , including MS , nausea and loss
of appetite from chemo , reduction of intraocular pressure , and
treatment of chronic pain . Many of the benefits are from a group of
chemicals called CBDs , which are not what makes users high - that one
is THC , and MM is purposely hybridized to minimize that group of
compounds .

Check out the CBD case in CO. The product is called Charlotte's Web
(named after the little girl) (CBD oil). The mother moved to CO
because NJ had laws against it. The child went from something like
100 seizures a day to maybe one or so.

For all you old fellers, there is a CBD ointment called Knob Lube.
Guess where it is applied :-\

The thing I can't find anymore? 8~(
