So I've read numerous accounts of children being relieved of epilepsy, the cancer riddled being brought to remission, ect. So in theory with less sickly Americans, that leaves us with a more productive and less costly society. In short, how would the herb improve your life were it legal?
Were marijuana federally legal tomorrow, it would still be halted to a certain degree by most employment policies.
lol yep just smoke it. Does RSO do anything for cancer? Is it successful at all in cancer patients in medical states? (Ive seen a thread or two here, no need to show me that.)
For a start, there would be a drop in Alzheimer's cases! Marijuana May Slow Alzheimer's (news - 2006) http://www.webmd.com/alzheimers/news/20061006/marijuana-may-slow-alzheimers “THC blocks an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase, which speeds the formation of amyloid plaque in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. The Alzheimer's drugs Aricept and Cognex work by blocking acetylcholinesterase. When tested at DOUBLE the concentration of THC, Aricept blocked plaque formation only 22% as well as THC, and Cognex blocked plaque formation only 7% as well as THC.†So tokers should be far less likely to get Alzheimer's than the average Joe Six-Pack! (I say "less likely" because genetics and diet also play a part in Alzheimer's. Take your Omega 3!)

Eliminating even part of that cost with cannabidiol will also relieve a lot of human misery! The cost to our young people is a huge factor. It is possible that the guy who would have found the cure for MS, is flipping burgers somewhere, because he got busted in high school with a joint and couldn't afford college without a student loan! The War on Drugs is a "brain drain" for our country! Kids who use cannabis tend to be brighter than average! Are smart kids more likely to use drugs? (news – 2011) http://news.yahoo.com/smart-kids-more-likely-drugs-160000571.html The police could do something else besides checking what leaf is in your cigarette, and hunting down certain "illegal plants" that are grown by a lot of folks! They could focus on violent crime, although they would no longer be getting all that money from property seizures to buy their paramilitary "toys"! Using a cannabis disinfectant wash will drop the number of cases of MRSA! A CBD aerosol spray in hospitals and prisons could do double duty as a germ-killer, and also as a calming agent! Marijuana Ingredients Show Promise In Battling Superbugs (news - 2008) http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/120477.php The price of cannabis would drop like a stone! Who would pay today's prices, for what they, or a friend, is growing for pennies? I am looking forward to buying a $65 kilo again! I bought 2 at that price, way back when I was a young hippie, but I could see the prices dropping back to that some day! After all, tomatoes and cannabis take much the same care- so how much does a gram of tomatoes cost you? Why should cannabis cost more? I can find fancy, organic, sun-dried tomatoes for $15 a pound, why not fancy, organic, well-cured cannabis for the same price? It can come with legalization! That is just the start of the changes legalization will bring! For me personally, I could stop having to "holding my tongue" at work when Mrs. P talks about her ailments- I could tell her that cannabis could help and you don't have to smoke it! Since I am in California, cannabis is all but legal for me, but it gripes me not being able to help when the answer is so simple! Granny
I probably wouldnt use it more if it were legal, but id definitely always have a stash somewhere. Also i would vape. Sick of somking
Ending other account from above, or linking them, not sure yet. BUT, storm crow that was a very well organized list of the benefits of the cannabis plant! Thank you for that, it'll be going on my Facebook wall. Well done. Sent from my iPod touch using Grasscity Forum
Bigger, get yourself a copy of my List (bottom of my sig), or look for "Granny Storm Crow's List" on Facebook (a gal I know actually does the Facebook for me). The List is over 1,450 pages of links like those above!
It sounds as though I need to subscribe n share lol. I'd love to get the movement started in NC and legislation hasn't helped much thanks to all the bible thumping nazis in these parts.... Thank jesus. Sent from my iPod touch using Grasscity Forum
If it were legal it would benefit me because I would buy a volcano and start to vape and eat edible more rather than smoking. Although I have a medical card it would be nice to got the gas station to get some bud rather than make an hour trip to the dispensary which is a 20 minute drive :/
Thank Jesus, indeed! You might get some fun talking points from these!

Direct consequence? Id have to drive to buy my hash.. Thered be a lot of good things but if were talking my personal experience would probably be driving instead of door delivery via good buddy.
