    I wish I could but I live in a house where my landlord would kick me out (at best) if he knew I was growing. I’m not in a position where I can purchase a house.

    Can’t you just grow a few plants at home? Just make sure to get seeds with high yield/cbd.

    i am the fleming that slayed the hypnotized psychenazi dragon with nonconformity, in an attempt to restore my true family, the honor of the world, and dispel the heartlessness of the scientist, I am german, i am not a shaman, i am spiritual but not religious

    Hipster is such a cliche. Most people with sociology degrees are women.  I think that means you hate women. Idiot.

    I need a Psychiatrist to sign for me cause I suffer from severe depression but all the psychiatrists i’ve talked to have told me that I’m an addict and to accept Jesus and other bullshit uneducated shit.

    *is a pagan warding Paganism from ‘satan’ (this term doesnt even belong in this faith lol but ppl still use it, from the demonic but not all horned folk, everything is the Self, but not in that way, plus its a corny aesthetic, also wards paganism from Christ, this is not evil, but christ is just not wanted here bad feng shui*

    we meditated and intuitively casted a series of smaller spells that eventually made up An It Harm None: the Fotamekus

    im one of the most chilled out people, i’m a relaxing gay person to be around, and i love the herb, i use it for meditation and healing, i think it should be legal, i think thats more eimportant than gay marriage, being officially married doesnt change that much but cannabis being official legal can save you from many years of suffering

  14. avp927 says:

    I agree with you. I have never and will never smoke marijuana but I disagree with you saying Tylenol has no killing power. Acetaminophen is a drug so it is addictive. You are not supposed to go past the recommended amount to have, yet people do it as an addiction.

  17. CapnCrossbones says:

    I got my papers 34 pages to fill out omg… Then the legal form for the Doctor to fill out to cover their ass. Ask your family Doctor what he thinks of medical Marijuana this is a test but do not argue with the doctor just observe what they say. They will tell you it is not safe medicine and will refuse to get in to detail about it. What you should do then is find another Doctor as soon as possible because your Doctor is on the wagon of selling pills and fucking us up it is true.

  18. Riyman313 says:

    with every thing aside, the side effects of marijuana are far less than ANY prescription drug

  19. Sogouda420 says:

    and the funny part … abusing cheesburgers kills way more people then weed ever could

  20. SirCanzara says:

    Ya whatever you wanna believe. I would strongly suggest you take a look at some european studies done in the last 5 years or so, there’s a 2011 documentary that would be a good place to start, probably available on youtube “What if Cannabis Cured Cancer”
    I agree with you, most studies out of the US are garbage, due to the current law’s around studying marijuana at all.
    I also agree more study is necessary, it is happening and its coming back better then we ever thought imaginable.
    Miracle plant

  21. usimurphy says:

    Get your head out of your ass garbage man.

    I did not specifically comment on cancer, and that 2007 study from Harvard only looked at cancer.

    Further, there have been other very “recent” studies of marijuana that cover more than just cancer.
    You will find that JAMA has published that the damage of marijuana use is linked the the usage volume.
    You will also find that Harvard only studied on mice.

    If you would get off you high horse “Sir”, you’ll find you are standing in your own pile of shit.

  22. 210482fmj says:

    i’ve smoked weed alot and although it has its pros it does have some bad side effects. YOu’d be a fool to say it doesnt have side effects. I’ve smoked quite alot in my time and honestly i don’t think its safe. Im not saying alcohol or tobbacco is safe either.
