I have no problem dispensing this as its been prescribed by a doctor and is federally regulated. However, smoking marijuana for medical use is not a good way to administer doses as it is really hard to get consistant, regulated doses. Medical marijuana for insomnia is total crap. Take some of the numerous regular sleeping aids. OMG GUYS I CAN SMOKE WEED NOW LOL! And BTW, wasnt it you who not too long ago said you were giving up on weed? Glad thats going well for you,

I gave up hard drugs & alcohol.  The only thing i've done in 2009 is marijuana.


And marijuana is amazing for curing insomnia.....

ambien ftw

 Taking pills to help Insomnia is worse then smoking marijuana, being the addiction, some people become dependent on the pills to get to sleep, which if they don't have makes their "insomnia" worse.
 
 I can't say the same couldn't happen with marijuana... but... screw pills... and prescriptions... think I'll pass on what the Doc prescribes...

I'm not too sure why you are picking a fight but I'll respond. Not picking a fight, just trying to find out why MJ was so necessary. It just seems to me your in the "OMG GUYS I CAN SMOKE WEED NOW!!!!!" crowd My primary diagnoses was for the migraine headaches. Marijuana in combination with some OTC meds such as motrin migraine has been AMAZING relief for the migraines. Once again, if the doctor is going to prescribe I don't see why he wouldn't just choose one of the many accepted prescription migraine medications.  As for insomnia, i don't really see why i would have to try all the prescribed and OTC sleep-aids. How is marijuana less valid as a sleep-aid than some allergy meds (diphenhydramine). I personally hate ambien and other prescribed sleep-aids because of the hang-overish affects i get the next day. I am in no way saying marijuana is the end-all of sleep aids. I'm just saying you should give it more credit as one. I don't give it credit as a sleep aid because there is very little if any hard scientific data on the effects of marijuana use as a hypnotic.

Have you ever smoked marijuana? If so how can you deny it's effect as a sleep aid?

I could give a damn what linus has to say, frankly, everything i've read from him has been the perfect example of everything that is wrong with a mind that runs on circular logic. your opinion is the way everything is, based only from things that have happened in your life, with no regard to other people's opinion or experiences. It simply is the way it is, because you, and you alone say it is.

My aunt used MJ medicinally to combat her cancer before she passed, and I can honestly say the entire time she used, it helped, and didn't change who she was in any way. It has also always been beyond me how pharmesutical companies can make billions of dollars manufacturing drugs that completely destroy people's lives with addiction, and cause several detrimental side effects; all while picking and choosing who they supply to, the poor and needy go to the pits, as the wealthy and insured reap the benefits of a fractured system that people who think like you, FE, and anyone else whos been throwing out the same recycled arguing points against legalization created. You know who doesn't want pot legalized? The pharmesutical companies, and all the important senators who are in their pocket. Bye-bye money.

As are all the people I associate with myself (as any humble sheep does) I am a nearly daily user, and I do it because it's a good time. Notice i said NEARLY every day. Theres days when I do, and theres days when I dont. I hold a steady 3.7 in college, and am pre-law, I always get my important things completed before lighting up, and I have never once, regardless of how insanely intoxicated I was from THC, have been unable of controlling myself psychologically or physically. Also, I write and perform music (and art) in several areas, and can honestly say some of my fan's favorite songs have been created under the influence of one drug or another (strictly psychedelics, nothing addictive). More than anything, a large group of people is being punished for enjoying something in moderation for what few people do as an abusive habit, and thats not right. Punish the ones who have abused, not the ones who recreationally benefit from it.

Now, on issue of HOW its distributed. That shouldn't change. I think there should be a small supply of weed at pharmacies for people unable to find someone who sells, but the best way to go about the legalization is to just legalize it. If you tax it, it will make problems, however if you legalize it, the money made from it will be legitimized, IE: instead of hundreds of millions of dollars going into mattresses, walls, and seat cushons, it would be going into the banks, which is exactly what we need right now.

ps. you're an idiot.

EDIT: Don't mistake this as a personalization, as I have listed examples that keep it an objective argument. Although I have cited personal experiences, if you feel I need more evidence to back up my claims, feel free to ask.

EDITEDIT: I wont get a medical license, because I don't need it medically. I smoke where I know I'm safe, and I don't cause trouble. Unfortunately, I agree with people who are saying PB is abusing the system (sorry dude, you are). Going out and getting a license doesn't really change anything. You can go to dispensaries now, good for you, but you already live in cali, meaning all that dope you're getting, you can get at your neighbors house for 15 bucks cheaper.

So, so, so, so, so, so, false.

I'm interested in seeing an actual response to this. What do you say?
