Lemme guess: the Libs on Vice take the pro-pot side?

Not once in that series was anything political mentioned.

Would you like to discuss the actual merits if the series? Or are you going to continue looking like a sociopath that struggles with compassion and empathy towards others medical issues?

My step-daughter has epilepsy. I'd love for the research to get to the point where when she's old enough to make that decision....the option is there for her. I know it's legal in California....but we aren't there yet. Shit....we won't even get dispensaries until 2018.

My daughter developed Petit mal seizures at the age of 7. At 9 she was having 50-60 seizures per day. If I would have known about the dangers of pharmaceuticals that were prescribed to her 15yrs ago. She would have been on a different regimen. One of the medications prescribed to her at the beginning of her treatment caused a severe reaction that if she continued to take would have killed her. She was lucky to have a reaction rather than just killing her. Which death can happen without the presence of a allergic reaction. Most people don't understand that the medications we give to epileptic children are extremely dangerous. With side effects that include death. Cannabis does not have any of those potential extreme side effects.

The medication that my daughter is on doesn't have any side effects like yours did. What it does cause is mood swings and it limits her on what other medications that she can take. She has allergies but can't take any allergy medication for them because it will counteract her seizure meds.

Best anti inflammatory there is. Big Pharma hates it.

Big Pharma/Healthcare Industry needs a working over.

It is a struggle to find that little bit of normalcy with epilepsy and children. I feel for her and your wife. Luckily for my daughter, her seizures have subsided with age. The only saving grace with petit mal seizures in children.

Last time she thinks she had a seizure was Junior year of high school. But she missed out on so many things that children without epilepsy take for granted. The ability to even have a driver's license that kids get in high school. At a young age not learning how to ride a bike because of the frequency of seizures. Sun sensitivity. This list goes on and on.

Why I dislike most conservatives. Ya'll build your little utopia yet? Or never gonna be tired of your political bullshit - feels a little cult like.


Anyways - if NFL truly cared about their BRAND and PLAYERS, they would set an unprecedented trend and NOT test for Weed during the offseason and make it a drug that if detected would not equate to an automatic punishment. Much like alcohol. Weed is significantly less dangerous than all the drugs that are able to be taken by these gladiators. It's truly a backwards thinking that society - western society - has.

The only political thing about this subject is the reason why the GOV'T hates things that benefits humans the most - $$$$$$$$.

The only way that will happen is if there a massive uprising across the country.. and I don't see that happening within this decade.. it will eventually though.

Here's the deal. The medical part of cannabis is primarily CBD. It's the component of cannabis with all the anti-inflammatory effects, pain effects, anti-epileptic effects, etc. CBD is not intoxicating and is perfectly legal. Anyone can buy or order CBD oil today. One can also find high CBD hemp flower and smoke that.

IMO most of these people just wanna be able to smoke & get high with THC and want the rules to change so they can do it.

**** them for enjoying themselves right?

No shit.

CBD is not the only medicinal cannabinoid found in cannabis. Most have better results with a 1 to 1 ratio of THC and CBD. But it goes much further than that. Have you ever heard of the Entourage effect?
