In reply to NoDecafPlz;

1) I lost my father, my mother-in-law (whom I loved), and my best friend to cancer. I was there with all three as they passed. Also, I earned my PhD in cancer research, so I am familiar with cancer both from a professional and a personal level. I am not cavalier about anyone suffering. I’m just exposing the shell game for what it is.

2) What is the basis for your statement that “most marijuana advocates do not ignite the plant”? I think that if you were truly objective, you would have to admit that the vast majority of recreational users light up, producing smoke. “Vaping” is a relatively new means of ingesting the drug into the lungs. Oh, and what happens to the cannabis that is not absorbed into the lung tissue when you exhale from the vaping ? Hmmmm.

3) Yes, the children! I drink alcohol. When I do so, I do not expose my great grandchildren we take care of to the effects of alcohol, unlike what would happen should I smoke a good cigar or marijuana around them.

4) My politics have nothing to do with my stand on this issue. My concerns are medical, rational, and honesty. I’m not fear mongering, unlike you who are trying to obfuscate the difference between medical and recreational use. I have no problem with properly-dispensed cannabis for VALID medical reasons. I do have problems with unregulated use of an addictive drug for recreational use that has unintended side effects to those in the vicinity.

Yes on #2, No on #3.
