For decades there have been claims of benefits, and there is evidence of benefit, whether actual or placebo, found in the medical use of marijuana, and there has been a push to legalize it for these benefits. With decades of these claims, why have our scientists found a way to deliver the benefits in a safe way that does not duplicate recreational high and hazardous use?[/b]
Because people want the high. If opiate pain killers gave no more of a high than over the counter Tylenol, no one would want them, let alone get addicted to them. And we wouldn't have a problem. They may
NEED pain relief. But they
WANT the high. If Marijuana, medical or otherwise, relieved pain without giving any high what so ever, they wouldn't be able to give the crap away.
Go to these supposed, "legal Medical Marijuana shops". And how many people in there buying the stuff are genuinely in pain? Not a single one. The place is filled with a bunch of stoners, all laughing, joking, and yucking it up, who are looking to get high. "Medical Marijuana" has nothing to do with medical benefits from smoking weed. That's nothing but a big ruse, and always has been. It's all about blazing up and getting high. Nothing more.
If you look at places like San Francisco and Denver, where these, "legal pot shops" are springing up everywhere, so is property theft and crime all around them. This crime is not being caused by people who are legitimately and desperately searching for pain relief. It's all being committed by nothing more than common dopers. Scum of the Earth. They're sleeping, urinating, and defecating in public parks and places all around them. Again, does this describe people looking for legitimate pain relief?
This is why pot is still illegal. And why it will most likely remain so on a Federal level. Enough people see through all of the bull$h!t these stoners are pushing, in order to try to legalize this crap.
