Pennsylvania Poll Shows Overwhelming Support for Medical Marijuana

Just sayin said:
Yes I believe in physciatry and also what I’ve personally seen; it’s why the government warnings. I never personally used and so I don’t speak from a user’s experience, but then again, I never put my hand in the fire to test a theory either. I have met many of those that did though. Continue to use or continue to support, it’s your choice, but hopefully your own children won’t take that same view. :)

I'm not using any drugs, prescription or otherwise, but I will continue to support natural alternative methods as opposed to pharmaceuticals for many conditions. If I'm in pain, I'd much rather be prescribed cannabis oil as a treatment, instead of the harmful and addictive Oxycodone, for example. If I had children, I would expect them to research all the positives and negatives of both prescription and natural alternatives, and make the choice for themselves. I would hope that they would share my views, they'd be much healthier mentally and physically if they did.

It seems to me that if all of the ones who have done these atrocious killings were ON the drugs, and none of the shootings were done by people that were NOT on the drugs, the statistics definitely show the connection between the anti-depressant drugs, and the senseless killings; and not just a connection between mental instability and senseless killings.

CeeCee, I am on medication for my heart, and totally agree that medications can be a good thing, and sometimes they are a very lifesaver. It is the overuse of mind-altering sedatives and anti-depressants, etc., that I am against.

I believe in having doctor treatment when needed; but in cases like mine, where the heart is simply worn out, and there is nothing more that doctors can do, then I believe that the final responsibility for preserving my life, is up to me.
There is nothing left for me but natural healing, so that is where I spend my time studying, and looking for anything that might help.

But if you wanted to take drugs for recreational use I'd have no objection and that's because I no longer help to clean up the mess. Do your own thing brother and all that, but then don't complain about the state of the society you live in? :)

I don't believe the state of the state was brought on by smoking pot. Perhaps, one might look to corruption and greed in politics and big business...

A better idea might be to re-open physciatric hospitals for those deemed at risk, instead of ‘Care in the Community’, which those recommending that the community take care of the mentally ill, conveniently forget that hospitals were initially set up precisely because Care in the Community didn’t work. Then of course we get into the issue of human rights and what is the criteria for hospitalization proposed for those ‘at risk’ either to themselves or others . . . . . Meanwhile, it all just carries on; the casualties hidden away in prisons, the inner cities and rehabilitation centers – out of sight out of mind.

Could not agree with you more, sir. Well said.
