Marijuana's not as docile and safe as most think.
Sure, it generates revenue, tax dollars and puts some people to work, but at what capacity?
The problem i foresee, there will be people getting sick left and right. Medical marijuana is significantly more potent than street weed, there are foods, drinks, oils, pastries, candies you name it, ive even "seen" cannabis infused bbq sauce. I foresee alot of people immersing themselves in this new "fad" of "legal medical marijuana"
You can overdose off weed! You wont die, you will wish you had though. Its called cannabaniod poisoning, also weed is addictive, contrary to popular belief, it is, and detoxing off weed is no fun, and no short lived, sleep it off and go to work in the morning type of procedure.
This concept is great for cancer patients, terminally ill, and permanently in pain people who may have issues with synthetic drugs. Unfortunately for those who would truly benefit from this, the general public will ruin this program, a green card in washington state is only $180.00, and can be gotten by any adult over 18 by appointment @ a small walk in clinic in most cities. There are so many dispensaries in western washington already, you can legally obtain medical marijuana if you have a green card in almost every city around.
This is not as cool as it would seem, and it is going to consume peoples lives, just as any drug would, legal or not.
Alcohol, tobacco, pain pills, cocaine, meth, heroin, pcp, lsd, marijuana, yup it belongs on this list of poison as well.
Don't be fooled boys and girls. DRUGS ARE BAD M'kay
