Many of California’s most prominent and well-respected medical cannabis dispensaries and related facilities -- including Oaksterdam University, Berkeley Patients Group, and Harborside Health Center (HHC) -- flourished under the George W. Bush administration. But they’ll be lucky to survive President Barack Obama’s first term. Do you think Barack Obama is tougher on medical marijuana than George W. Bush was?

Actually, Viagra was being developed for pulmonary issues, not erectile dysfunction issues. They just found that the side effects in men helped them with their ED problems. That means it was developed for both men and women. I don't know if it would help your eyes.

Pulmonary hypertension
Viagra is now marketed under the name Revatio for this uncommon but serious disorder of high pressure in the blood vessels leading to the lungs.
Mountain sickness

Viagra can reduce pulmonary artery pressure at high altitude and improve the ability to exercise in low oxygen conditions.
Raynaud’s phenomenon

In affected individuals, exposure to the cold triggers spasm of the small arteries that supply blood to the fingers, toes, or both, which become pale, cold, and painful. Both Viagra and Levitra have been helpful in clinical trials.
Heart disease

Studies suggest Viagra might help patients with congestive heart failure or diastolic dysfunction

Thanks for that information. I had just heard that it had bad effects on women. I don't think it would do any good either for the pressures in my eyes.

I don't think anyone knows enough about what either one of them think about mind-altering drugs for pansy-ass people who are ashamed of facing the world with an unscrambled brain all because they suck; and know it.

do you drink alcolhol? one of the worst drugs on planet earth. mind-altering drugs open your mind. you seem to be a very unhappy person the way you call people "pansy-ass" and how they "suck". i do not believe in the conventional gods. i believe in what i call the great IS. i study the teachings of jesus the rabbi. i am trying to learn more and more about love. i am still on a learning curve. one love!

No, I don't drink alcohol. Mind altering drugs such as THAT are just sensesly disgusting chemicals consumed by pansy-ass people who are too gutless to face the World without having a scrambled brain. Once that they have affirmed that their own brain sucks, they actually feel that they dont have any other alternative but too make it scrambled by killing a few thousand brain cells; and shortening the life-span of a few internal body organs, along the way.

But only because Bush was more into PERSONAL freedom and STATES rights to oversee and decide upon medical marijuana.

Remember that DEMS love controlling EVERYTHING.

There's been no massive repeal of government control while Repubs control government. That's just a campaign slogan the little guy repubs are fed to keep them voting republican. Government spending doesn't go down under Republican govenrment. They say it in their campaigns, but once in office its not an issue.

Lanikai to PM 2012/07/20 15:16:53

Bush tried, and tried. BUT a DEMS congress thwarted the attempts and hysteria over the 9-11 ordeal created a perfect environment for the dems to TAKE what they wanted. Control. And they did.

You may not remember Bush BEGGING congress to reign in fannie and freddie, and the DEMS screaming over all the poor that wouldn't have homes if they did. You may also not remember the DEMS holding budgets and troop funding hostage to get what they wanted. You love to blame Bush but it was mostly Reid, Pelosi and Kerry and Kennedy holding up the works to get what THEY wanted,.

Thanks a DEM for the chaos.

Ummmm... Bush had a Republican controlled Congress for 6 of his 8 years (107th, 108th, and 109th Congresses)? And, it wasn't until the 110th Congress (2007-2009) did the Dems take control of Congress.

His term is not over yet and with some current news popping moves by Obama on Immigration and gay rights he will do what ever he thinks will get him votes. Obama has no loyalty to the American Majority or anyone, he has no soul. This is one of many good reason's NOT to vote for this unpredictable manipulating double standard and hateful creature.

I like weed, but that doesn't mean that a largely untested drug should be freely available in medicine.

the drug is largly tested. get on the internet and do your home work. do not trust the banks and corporations (USA government) information. look for scientific information. always go to the source. if you want to know what our country is doing. go for documents, wikileakes is a good source for that. the experts always have the real answers. the goverment has used the same marijuana test forever, where the monkeys were asphyxiated due to ganja smoke displacing the air. cannabis never has killed anyone and never will. go to the experts for the info. good luck to you as you begin your new adventure to find out what is really going on with our goverment. look up the 14 definition of fascisim, and try to look at our country with that in consideration.

Fair enough. What I meant and didn't express very well, was the fact that long term studies of cannabis, that have been done on smoking haven't been completed.
I know cannabis can't kill directly, but it can lead to death if you are unattended after a session and run into a car, for example.

No body goes to rehab unless their big enough to admit they have a problem. It takes a real man or woman to do that. Kudos to Bush. Obama would never admit to anything.

reply
David (... to teigan 2012/07/20 07:12:12

Obama would go to the pub and have a few pints with his mates from the White House.

Probably a few joints on the way there and back too.

Why would Obama admit to a problem he doesn't have or go to a rehab he doesn't need? He wasn't a cocaine addicted alcoholic like your "real" man George W. Bush.

reply
teigan to American 2012/07/20 20:08:44

You have no idea if Obama is a cocaine addict or not. No drug testing required to be President.

reply
American to teigan 2012/07/21 00:30:24

Neither do you and my word that he is not a cocaine addict is a hell of a lot more plausible than any RWNJ who says he is. If he was an alcoholic cocaine addict like George W. Bush it stands to reason that more people beside RWNJs here on SH would know it. :-)

reply
teigan to American 2012/07/21 01:38:19

Not true liberals would deny it anyway, just like you denying that he said he used drugs.

Still lying your F**King RWNJ @$$ off. I have never said Obama has never said he used drugs. :-)

Temper temper child. You did say it and now you lie. lol

"You are a liar, Obama admits to no such thing..If it wasn't for blatant lies, BS and propaganda, RWNJs would be at a loss for words. Some lie more than others. They know who they are. :-)"

Those are your words not mine sweetheart.

reply
American to teigan 2012/07/21 02:44:30

Those are indeed my words. However, I never stated that Obama denied ever have taken drugs. I called the statement about Obama admitting that he spent the last two years of high school and most of his college years using pot and other drugs a lie. If you wish to put your spin on it, I totally understand. Because if it wasn't for spin, lies distortions, BS and propaganda, RWNJs would be speechless. I have no wish to deprive you of speech. LMFAO :-)

Try reading his book, he most certainly does admit to his drug use.

I didn't ever say Obama never admitted to using drugs, however, he did not "admit in his book to "spending the last 2 years of High School huffing a fattie and most of his college years doing pot and other drugs".
