    So peaceful potheads get thrown in jail for smoking weed, because it's a dangerous illegal drug, with no possible medical benefits? Yet pure fucking thc in a capsule is considered to have accepted medical benefits, a low potential for dependence, and a low potential for abuse?

    :confused:what is this....I dont even

    Yup pretty much, the world is a strange place.
    Well it doesnt exactly say that, it says:

    "(A) The drug or other substance has a potential for abuse less than the drugs or other substances in schedules I and II.

    (C) Abuse of the drug or other substance may lead to moderate or low physical dependence or high psychological dependence."

    Yes, well I ad-libbed a bit :D

    But still, they're admitting THC has medical benefits, and thats its not dangerous enough to be Schedule 1. Yet, cannabis remains dangerous and addictive. It's ridiculous, unscientific, and unnatural.

    i think the point is that your not smoking it, which people automatically assume is deadly.
    And edibles would be great, but pharm companies cant patent and claim rights to a plant, so they make a shitty lab knockoff

    poor diet and lack of exercise kill more people in the u.s. than anything else, yet there's a mickey d's on every street corner.

    companies can "own" plants. monsanto owns the patent to 95% of the soybeans and 80% of the corn grown in the u.s. they also provide chemical fertilizers and pesticides that are destroying our environment.

    its a messed up world.

    Pure THC, with no other cannabinoids will send you into a panic. The other chemicals are what get us "high".... watch that BBC shit someone posted.

    Yea without CBN to mediate the effects of THC.

    Yea sorry, I just found it really interesting and thought I'd share. It was more for me blowing off steam than anything else. Hearing about the BS that keeps cannabis illegal in this country just makes me :mad: and :confused:

    Marinol is not only a crock but because of it's controversy it's EXPENSIVE. My mom used to have to take it and it's uninsured cost is something like $1k a week.
