States Rights
Does anyone have a list of states that allow Medicinal MJ?
I have a brownie recipe made with stevia and barley malt if anyone is interested....teehee.
Scouty, any chance of you providing the "refreshments" in Key West? HA! ;-)
My FIL smoked pot his whole adult life for his stomach ulcers. We found his stash after he died. When I moved to the Northwoods (into his log cabin) I was amazed at how many professional adults are still rollin' 'em.
Phil.... your grass roots.....I'm still laughing.... :-)

Medicinal use of cannabis is legal in a limited number of territories worldwide, including Canada, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, Israel, Finland and Portugal. In the US, fourteen states have recognized medical marijuana: Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington;[6][7] although California is currently the only state to utilize "dispensaries" to sell medical cannabis.0 -

There are currently five US states considering medical marijuana bills in their state legislatures: Illinois, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey and New York. South Dakota also has several petitions in interest of medical marijuana legalization.[0 -

NY just had 2 democrats jump ship to the republican side so we can most likely kiss the brownies and equality for same sex marriage bye-bye...
Close, but no Spliff0 -
Google........2bhealed said:Spliff?
Is that like doobie?
The term spliff is a West Indian word of Jamaican English origin,[7] but has spread to several western countries, particularly Britain, Europe, Canada and the United States. Its precise etymology is unknown, but it is attested as early as 1936. While Jamaican spliffs are generally conical in shape, those elsewhere tend to be cylindrical and of varying lengths. "Spliff" can also refer to various styles of marijuana or hashish cigarette rolled with a mixture of cannabis and tobacco.[8]
There are also numerous additional slang or "street" terms for a joint in various regions, such as "bifta", "jay", and "doobie".0 -

Recently PA is also considering medical mj. Unfortunately, for me, it probably won't pass until AFTER I'm done with chemo and radiation. Alot of help that does me now.
BTW I think we should be able to go to police stations and ask the officers for some of their stash, you know that they have a HUGE room just full of confiscated MJ! LOL
I think all of us cancer patients should rally in DC for medical MJ. That demonstration would be HUGE!!!!0 -
Wowlmliess said:Never thought this would cross my mind!
But I started chemo Tuesday and I still have no appetite. I just forced down 2 of my daughters fishsticks. I am worried because (never thought I would say this) I am too low on the scale. I am 5'1 and I weight 89 - 91 (on a good day) so I do not want to lose anymore weight. But I also don't want to force down foods that are high in calories and not so healthy. But I guess when you are doing chemo, the chemo is doing it's job so we have to do ours and eat.
Has anyone baked that stuff in anything? Like brownies?
I have to tell you my daugter was about the same age as yours when I started fighting my battle. I think I lived on Smoothies and Almonds.. I had a hard time eating as well. I battle with my beliefs in God and the use of Pot. None of the anti-nasua medicine worked for me so... I tried it it worked...... I have to tell you I had stage 3 bowel cancer and my CEA levels remain at 5 and I am going on my six year my children are now 14 and 12. My heart goes out to you many many prayers.....PS bake it in brownies is totaly fine. If you drink OJ when u smoke it u wont cough.0 -
Thought about it
Even though I didn't have much nausea, I thought about it for my appetite, especially since the Maltase, the dr gave me for appetite made me sicker then the Chemo. Unfortunately I had to think of my dear husband, boy with the job he has if I would have been busted, he would have lost his job for sure, plus wasn't going to put my granddaughter at risk since we fought so hard to get her.
I am not against it one bit, it just wasn't the right decision for me.

Rhode Island
Our paper mentioned that Rhode Island just passed a law the provides the avenue for people to get their mj legally. They were in the same bind as Hawaii, lawful to use mj for medical reasons but no way to get it. Hope Hawaii gets on board.

Medical marijuana in N.C.?
The Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Proponents of legalizing marijuana use to relieve pain and suffering in some patients are getting a day at the North Carolina Legislature to speak out.
The House Health Committee scheduled a committee meeting Thursday to discuss a bill that would allow people with debilitating medical conditions to possess an adequate supply of the drug and not be prosecuted.
The measure also would create a licensing process for qualified patients and those entities that distribute marijuana.
The Marijuana Policy Project says 13 states have laws designed to allow patients to use marijuana to treat illness without threat of state punishment, despite federal law still barring its possession.
Opponents argue marijuana is a dangerous drug linked to health risk and can lead abusers to try other hard-core addictive drugs.0 -

I love this part:
"Opponents argue marijuana is a dangerous drug linked to health risk and can lead abusers to try other hard-core addictive drugs." Yes, sometimes it does lead to that.
Yes, I'm sure that we cancer patients who are trying to beat cancer will start to shoot heroin right after we are cured from cancer. I know it's tops on my list, I mean, how else is a person supposed to celebrate? Burn cars or something...
This is like suggesting to ban all alcohol because it leads to people going home and beating their wives and kids. Yes, sometimes it does lead to that.0 -

Oh and as if all the pain and nausea meds they give us can't lead to some of the same problems!
Adictions are totally different then medical responsible patients managing symptoms.

POT
I smoked it when I was young. Enjoyed it too!!! It got to be to expensive and I stopped. I understand today it cost a bunch$$$$.
I haven't thought about it because my young son (18) just got busted by his dad for smoking it in the basement. I was smelling this skunk smell now and then. I didn't put two and two together but John did. Found his BONG. They had a long chat and he told him not to smoke it anymore.
I told John that the way it smelled it wasn't the good stuff!!! This is really just to give you a laugh. Take care all, Paula G.0 -
different take..
I have a bit of a different take on this topic. I am all for legalization and feel our federal government wastes enormous amounts of $$ on the "war on drugs". What a joke! That said, I smoked for most of my life, starting at about the age of 14. It never led to me to meth or any such "hard drugs" and I did very well in college, etc.....However, since my diagnosis I think it would make me way too paranoid. Part of the mental anguish of the whole cancer ordeal for me at least is paranoia related to upcoming tests, etc. I know smoking effects CEA and I could not bear the idea of my CEA being elevated which would cause a freak out, etc. etc. Also, having had lung mets the idea of smoking anything gives me the heebs even though I know my mets were not in the airway per se...Anyway, I would love to be able to go back to my care free smokin' days, but I don't know if I ever will be able to again. Here in Alaska no one is prosecuted for small amounts in the home anyway and it is very prevalent and pretty much accepted.

P.S. I am not in treatment though and for you guys battling nausea, etc. I say if it makes you feel better, go for it.0 -

Given that we (here in NC) are probably going to get our taxes raised or kid's education will suffer I think it is high time (had to say that) we legalize it so we can start collecting the taxes on our number one cash crop!!!! 3/4 of the counties in the state have the perfect growing conditions for it and it could replace our number 3 cash crop, tobacco which needs replacing. For those wondering, our number 2 cash "crop" is pork, number 4 is close between soybeans, christmas trees, and corn.
Lizzy where in NC are you? I just east of Greensboro, south of where tootsie (Gail) is.

I've never smoked pork but I bet it's good after some Mary Janes (not the candies).
I think you should start a grass roots movement to make it legal0 -

Skunk beer = no good (warm Heineken)
Skunk week = rather good
It is much cheaper than what the pharmaceuticals charge and much more fun.

I use to love to smoke pot. It was legal when i use to live in Alaska. I haven't smoke any now for 20 some yr.s mostly because u got drug tested at my job. But now that I am not working. I would love to smoke some again. I no that sound's silly at my age but it was a something that really mellowed me out. And as confused as I am in what is happenimg to me might help the stress. I don't need to get the mucnchies though because I am over weight now from the steroid's the doctor's are telling me. Take Care Everyone. HUG"S Colleen0
