Medicinal Marijuana
Should Marijuana Be a Medical Option?
- MEDICAL DISCLAIMER - YOU WANNA BE HIGH FOR THIS!
Welcome to my first post on my medicinal blog and thanks for coming! Here is where together we will learn how to benefit from the medicinal properties of our natural plant. An organ that grows free and clear here on our planet Earth all over this entire globe...Cannabis... Maybe through this blog, together we can unravel the paradox that has held our country at its core since the beginning of the 1970's. As Marijuana is quietly researched and found to have more medicinal properties than most anything else on the planet. Yet we still have it scheduled as a "drug" having no medicinal value, Schedule 1. Although the issue is literally pulling the country apart at at the seams. Our government seems to hold fast in its scheduling of Marijuana. So lets take this blog and delve deep through the issue in all sorts of ways and means and maybe we can resolve the issue once and for all! Or at least smoke on some bomb while trying to!
The true question is is medical marijuana
a
safe and effective treatment for the
symptoms of illnesses such as cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, pain,
glaucoma, epilepsy,
and other conditions? And the answer as we all know it is yes! If all
the politics, business haggling and Red Tape was removed the answer
would still be in its simplest terms, yes! The paradox of course is that
we have perfectly legal "Dope" on the market that does much worse than
anything than the effects deemed "harmfully caused" by Marijuana. Yet
they continue to get prescribed by thousands of Doctors and specialist
in the millions each day covered by all Health Insurance Providers being
pumped out of major pharmacies nation-wide 24-Hours a day, 7 Days a
week. And this is all perfectly 100% totally legal.
So how should we even approach the issue? I mean should Marijuana be an FDA approved medicinal treatment for some of the dozens of ailments its known to cure, treat and control? My question, and maybe its because I'm high! But why are the Food and Drug Administration combined in the first place? Feedback appreciated. So stick with me and lets get into the subject right here in this post! We'll look at access, legality, treatments, patients the whole round-up, so to speak, right here. So as a proponent of the medicine, those along lets point out the reason why such an amazing substance (in its normal state) was even put here in the first place?
So is it true that everything here on Earth is meant for us to partake of? Or was that something your parents told you back then to keep you off the hard stuff? Either way it seems that the plant we have such a split decision on here in the U.S. was put here for a purpose. As I mentioned earlier if we removed all the red tape and bureaucracy Marijuana would immediately rise to the top of all forms of medicinal treatment in over 75% of all ailments!
- A Nation Divided - Virgina 2015 Welcome To The Club!
Are we really a nation divided on a single subject that has grown numerous opinions? As of Noon today!! The Federal Government still has the same rock-solid stance it has held on the subject since, well you know 1970! They still insist on forcing the same perspective down our throats that was viewed back when we were all sending our children "to go channel the TV"! Yes an old outdated one! "That's our story and were sticking to it!" is pretty much the FDA's stance. Yet in spite of such firmness states are proactively petitioning on their own. As of 2015 the 9 states below also presented some sort of Ballot to legalize Marijuana:
- Florida
- Georgia
- Missouri
- Nebraska
- North Carolina
- Pennsylvania
- South Carolina
- Tennessee
- Texas
Are we a nation divided? I ask because
even though the FDA is almost 5 decades behind in terms of...well
everything. Technically it is still a crime, federally speaking. That's
federally speaking, so let me ask then in spite of the current "states"
in which it is already legal how is it that in 2015 Nine more states
presented legislation or ballot measures of some sort to legalize
Marijuana with Virgina even getting the go-ahead. Yet all these states are housed within the same federal government?
Yes even Texas has decided to get in on the act and not because of Medicinal reasons. The reason Marijuana did get a second look was of course, money. So stay tuned for my next piece as we look at Dispensaries and see how if possibly to still get in on the "Green" rush as states rush to legalize companies and corporation rush to monopolize profit. So where exactly is the "Money" in the Green Rush? Stay tuned !
