This is beyond the medical aspect of marijuana but it is important in
the overall context I think.<br>
<br>
For what it's worth, the link below is an interesting discussion on
drug prohibition. I think it is a transcript from 19995 to the New
York Bar Association headlined by W.F. Buckley and joined by other
prominent professionals.<br>
<br>
It is very much worth reading IM not so HO.<br>

<div>Would you offer your documentation and argumentation that
contradicts the National Academy of Sciences report I quoted, a
quote which most <span class="correction" id="">definitely</span>
stated that there are legitimate medical uses for cannabis? Or will
you just toss out more unsubstantiated comments that muddy the waters

<div>Then why are all these college age potheads at the rallys
lighting up? They<br>
are all sick? (Besides addiction)<br>
If pot is going to be okayed for medicinal use, then it needs the same<br>
treatment as any other prescription. Which means going to a doctor,
then the<br>
pharmacist...yadayadayada.......none of this, "I'm growing it for my own<br>
use.......and here is my Dr.'s note." Which many on the "pro" side
seems to<br>
have a real problem with.<br>
That, combined with the "wastoid element" that appears at the rallys
raises<br>
a red flag for me.<br>
As I stated, I don't care if one imbibes or not, I don't. But I don't
want<br>
some stoned 18 year behind the wheel either, thinking its "safer".<br>
Maybe pot helps some people, maybe it doesn't.....But I think a lot of<br>
people see the medicinal use clause as the first step in gaining public<br>
acceptance of the drug which would help get them to the ultimate goal:
full<br>
legalization.<br>

<pre><tt>I agree. That is the main reason why I quit attending the Hemp Festival.
It is no longer anything like it was.
For some more information concerning hemp products:

Which is also the outlet where I purchase my tree-free paper products, such
as poster paper. The product selection there is awesome and extremely
environmentally conscious.
Cheers, Moscow.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are
dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all
exist very nicely in the same box.

I feel that way when I visit the festival that used to be known
as Hemp Fest (since it provided information about hemp, growing
hemp, industrial hemp, hemp clothing, hemp rope, hemp lotion,
etc) but should now just be 'Pot Fest' because it's all about
the bong/roach clip/other paraphernalia/bong-as-big-as-my-living-
room shaped 'vases'/legalize marijuana/drugs/etc and then
straying into rave accessories and all around giant
disappointment to anyone who might actually try to legitimize
hemp as a viable CROP.
