Wait is that the same Montel that said this about Michelle Bachmann:

“Michelle, slit your wrist. Go ahead. Or do us all a better thing…move that knife up about two feet. Start right at the collarbone.”

Sorry Montel, I’m finding it hard to feel alot of sympathy for you.

F Williams.

I have never seen anything good come from Dope and Montel is proving my point.

I hope he is successful.

After the press conference, Williams was seen with BHO, taking tokes from a blue bong.

somethings not right, I am still in pain. Montel!!!!

I consider myself a Libertarian and I support the legalization of marijuana. The bloody drug war against marijuana is a waste of tax payer dollars and has been wildly ineffective. Unless you support a return of prohibition of alcohol and a bloody return to the illegal trafficking of alcohol it’s a bit hypocritical not to support the legalization of marijuana.

My daughter who is a nurse (and doesn’t currently partake) told me there is not a single occurrence of someone overdosing on pot (they just pass out when they smoke too much) or anyone being physically addicted to it. Meaning there is no physical withdraw when the user doesn’t have any more. While there have been uncountable examples of people dying from drinking binges along with the huge amounts of alcoholic that are out there. So for those that say two wrongs don’t make a right I would choose the legalization marijuana over alcohol if I had to make a choice. But I’m not in favor of a return to prohibition.

Having said this, before marijuana is legalized there should be a test that is able to determine, at the time the test, if someone is under the influence of marijuana while operating motor vehicle or airplane or anything else that can endanger someone. Where traces of marijuana can stay in your system (stored in body fat) for up to a month, detectable with a blood test, the blood test doesn’t necessarily tell anyone if the person is under the influence at the time of the test. Basically we need something that is the equivalent of what a breathalyzer is to alcohol. This would be my preference.

But, for medical use, just like current prescription pain killers and strong muscle relaxers where it tells you on the label not to operator a motor vehicle the some would apply to marijuana. At the every least let the people who need it and can get a doctors prescription should have it.

I have a wife with MS and she occasionally uses it before bed time if she feels needs it and I’m glad she has access to it.

Suck it libby! A big one!

The abusers (those who do not have MS, Cancer or any other critical illness) only care about getting high – with no regard to others, and will continue to abuse the medicinal marijuana permits/licenses. The second hand smoke is a HUGE issue. I don’t like, or want, this stuff (or smell) anywhere near me, my family or others.

Bravo! I wrote a book about chemotherapy (MS is treated by chemo, as is rheumatoid arthritis and of course, cancer – as well as anyone who’s had an organ transplant). I didn’t know much about MS until I started researching the book. Knowing what I know now, I’m blown away at Montel’s strength. He hasn’t got the “good” MS, the one that has mostly minimal symptoms and comes and goes. He’s got the one that has the harshest symptoms and doesn’t give you any good days. In the book, I point to the many successes of marijuana to handle pain.

Right now, in states like mine where marijuana is legal, they’re still working out the laws (but not denying people access), with the added drama provided by the excessive zeal of the DEA. Montel is doing a good thing by speaking out. Unlike people who know it works to eliminate pain and have to buy it illegally or live ith the pain, I’m just glad I live where I live.

Prescription drugs are abused all the time and we haven made them illegal unless you don’t have a prescription. About the 2nd hand smoke, the user can go outside if the family members can’t tolerate the smoke.

And just where do you think the smoke goes when an inconsiderate jerk blows it out of their mouth? It goes into other peoples breathing space and into decent peoples’ homes. And don’t tell me smokers don’t blow it at people on purpose, THIS WILL BE WORSE. I don’t want it around me, my family or friends; nor do I want the criminals around who will want to steal your stash.

No one is asking for it to be around you and you have the right not to have around you.. How is someone smoking it in their own home or outside their home effecting you. It’s not! I guess you are one of the ones, if given a choice, would outlaw cigarettes out right. Are in support of the nanny state this country is turning into?

I don’t give a rats-behind what people do in the privacy of their own home, or outside, as long as it doesn’t bother me. Smoke travels, it goes up and around, through vents, through windows, at people from inconsiderate potheads smoking their dope; and it is an issue. Plus their (your?) dope-head friends who come around to visit (more dopeheads). Perhaps you should have your own state, call it POTAFORNIA, it could have an AM/PM at every corner to facilitate the munchies. Your state song could begin with “DUH”.

I know next you’ll want to outlaw homes with fireplaces and the use of those that already exist. I bet they give off a whole lot smoke. Every time I go into a neighborhood in the winter that have fireplaces I can smoke the fresh scent of burning wood. Just think of all the CO2 they give off and all those people who have gotten cancer because of burning wood. We may have to outlaw lightening causing forest fires and volcanoes. We just have to do something to stop all that smoke. Yep..makes perfect sense. Yep.. if we could only pass Tap and Trade we could find a way to tax fire wood and people who live in home with fireplaces. Yep.. One more step toward utopia.

I think your pot smoking has taken a serious toll on your brain cells because you have just proved my point. Smoke travels – as will pot smoke, we (the people) don’t want to smell your pot because you want to be a dopehead. Get professional help.

I agree with Montel but only if the shit’s good!

I don’t smoke pot and I drink very seldom. As I said in my original post my wife has MS and she smokes pot occasionally at bed time if she feels she needs it and I’m glad she has access to it. And it’s people like you that would love nothing better than to take it away from her. If it makes her feel better if only for a while it’s worth it to her and me. And by the way our home is smoke free. Just because others abuse it just like people abuse other legal drugs doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be available to those that do not.

Funny that you mention “your” original post, did you bother to read my original post before attacking it? Look it up and read it – in it’s entirety.
(No issue with your wife and what she needs, just YOUR norrowmindedness!)

And my original responds wasn’t an attack. Except maybe the nanny state comment. But it sounded like because they are abusers and there is smoke you didn’t want people who truly benefited not to have it because their smoke would some how ruin or make your life worse. If I misunderstood I apologize.

But compared to alcohol marijuana, despite the smoke, is a safer drug or substance. And the war on it is a waste given the blood and money spent to stop it with little results to show for it. I don’t have to condone the use beyond medical use to feel the fight to stop it is worse than the abuse. This is just my opinion. The push to completely legalize pot is not a high priority for me among the other problems facing our country.

You said in one of your post something to the effect you didn’t want criminals around our house or yours that are breaking into my home trying to steal my stash. 1. We don’t advertise we have it and 2. When is the last time you’ve hard of someone robbing a house to steal alcohol? Maybe it happens but I haven’t heard of it. And even when someone robs a liquor store they are after the money in most cases.

I just seemed smoke was a over riding factor in your comments and given that there are so many other smoke producing things out there that pale in comparison with cigarettes and pot to be a major objection to it’s legalization for medical us or its out right legalization. Legalizing it would actually cut violent crime just like it did with alcohol. Not eliminate, but vastly reduce it.

There is no perfect answer and you have a right to disagree. I have no intent to ruin our day.

Sorry for typos above.. I was in a hurry.

Sorry that Montel has MS–that’s a horrible disease. As I understand it, MS causes one’s brain to sort of dissolve.

The US Government should overcome its own “denial” with respect to Medicinal Cannabis, which can serve as a safe alternativ­e to many pharmaceut­ical chemicals on the market. I believe it is very positive that the President acknowledg­­es the “validity” of this debate. Whenever the validity of the debate is recognized­­, such a “recogniti­­on” invariably implies that our side has a “valid argument”; this being so, it follows that our side (in favor of Cannabis/M­edicinal Cannabis Legalizati­on) has a very real possibilit­­y of winning this “perfectly legitimate debate”, for otherwise it would not be a “debate”. For example, to even suggest that Cannabis Plant has no medicinal properties is not even a “rational” thing to do; as a “recreatio­­nal” substance, Cannabis is incomparab­­ly safer than alcohol! And if all this were not enough, it is scientific­­ally proven that Cannabis use (as opposed to alcohol use) suppresses violent urges and behaviors. All this is true even if the President is “personall­­y opposed” to legalizati­­on (at least for now). But we cannot sit on our butts and passively expect positive developmen­­ts to occur. We must participat­­e actively, write comments at the news articles, write to politician­­s, sign petitions, register to vote, etc. I specifical­­ly urge all the young people to talk to their parents and grandparen­­ts and educate them about Cannabis vs. alcohol and hard drugs. As the logical evidence in our favor inexorably accumulate­­s, the “qualitati­­ve shift” will occur in our common consciousn­­ess, and we will win this “perfectly legitimate­­” debate!

Printbrat, you are a moron to think the only way to get the effects of cannabis is through smoking. they have these special little things called VAPORizers and EDIBLES. if anything, passing this law would make edibles and vaporizers easy to buy and cheaper, hence less smoke in the air.

A little info all that don’t know we are all, as humans, born wired for cannabis
