I saw the governor and some other guy in NYC (police chief??) talking about this on TV.

they were all about, 'yeah this is a waste of time (arresting people over nothing), harms people, ruins their future'... etc etc.

and I'm sitting there thinking, 'wow, how lucky we are to get rational people in office'!
NY admits gay people can get married and it's only a matter of time before this bullshit about pot comes to an end.

and for those that have forgotten I know someone who's husband had cancer. This and the treatment were wreaking havoc with his appetite. This only weakened him considerably. He recently died.

I support more studies that examine the effect of "THC" on cancer patients

If people with cancer want to see if pot can help them, let them. I hate the moralists who always yell about how the cancer patients could become addicted. If they live long enough to become addicted that's a win in my books - and even if it were so how bad is that under the circumstances? And yet, we seem to have no qualms about administering chemicals that, if given to a healthy person would be assault and would likely lead to the healthy person developing cancer later. We are willing to harm cancer patients so grievously with chemo but we get all upset about a little weed? (And by "we" I mean "they", the moralizing pricks like Mother Theresa who collected millions while denying her charges any health care, life extension, pain killers or even a comfy, clean cot to die on.)
 
Amen to that!
if NY decriminalizes pot it's only a matter of time before people make a system for medical marijuana here. And I say yippie.

it won't affect MY life in any way whats so ever, but just knowing people are feeling better while they are so ill makes ME feel good.
 
im in a dilemma... my health is failing me... prolly mostly my fault but the worst parts are genetic predisposition... and some crap from chemical burns at a place that never was and a time that never happened...

i never did this to me...

Khamisiyah Pit Nerve Agent Release
As can be seen from table 1 [PDF 201KB*], the Khamisiyah Pit (see figure 2) demolition of 10 March 1991 remains the only CW agent release incident where troops probably were exposed to low levels of nerve agent at or slightly above the general population limit (GPL), (see box). (For background on this incident, please see CIA publications Khamisiyah: A Historical Perspective on Related Intelligence, 9 April 1997, and Modeling the Chemical Warfare Agent Release at the Khamisiyah Pit, July 1997.) The 2000 DoD modeling using updated source terms indicates that the potential contaminated area—derived from combined models—is about half the size of the 1997 modeling results, though the number of potentially exposed troops remained about the same because of updated troop location information. The smaller area results from a combination of factors:
  • Additional UNSCOM information—including a 1998 inspection—indicates that the maximum amount of nerve agent released was about half the amount modeled in 1997. We now assess that only 225 rockets released agent, rather than the 500 we estimated in 1997 (see appendix E for more details).
  • Post-1998 computer modeling includes the effects of natural GB/GF nerve agent decay and other environmental factors that reduce contamination as compared to 1997 models that excluded such factors. A 1998 CIA-sponsored analysis of daytime GB/GF degradation allowed daytime decay estimates to be included in the recent modeling.
  • DoD reassessed the threshold general population limit (GPL) dosage values for sarin and cyclosarin, resulting in increases of over 200 percent and 11 percent, respectively (see box). The higher GPL threshold reduces the low-level (GPL) exposure area.
We note that the area depicted by both the 1997 and 2000 DoD models is much larger than we expect of the actual extent of contamination. To account for differences in models, the published areas represent a composite of GPL contamination areas from multiple separate models. In addition, most of the modeled contamination areas were enlarged to account for weather uncertainties.9 Finally, the composite area was further expanded by several kilometers to help account for uncertainty in troop location. The IC agreed to the combined contamination area to account for some modeling differences and to provide epidemiologists a best estimate of which US troops were at risk of exposure to CW agents for their studies. This composite area was not intended to be used to estimate the absolute number of US troops exposed to CW agents. In fact, the actual number of US troops within the areas actually covered by low levels of CW agents is less than that derived from the composite area. Nevertheless, given the modeling uncertainties involved, we continue to assess that a composite provides more meaningful information to the epidemiologists involved in this effort than a single estimated area.

its the agent orange of my generation.... just another republican myth... until it becomes your life...
 
that doesn't affect the rich so it's not real :D
