Colorado Seeks Federal Reclassification Of Pot

as the man said...

considering a lot of prescribed pain killers are made from a derivative of opium and the benefits of pot for some medical conditions has been proven, its surprising it hasnt been made legal on prescription years ago!
here in the UK I believe it can be prescribed but we dont have any pot shops..unfortunately :)

This is another step towards helping those who really need it. However I feel we should just legalize it and let people make their own choice.

sad

MAKE IT LEGAL! Quit fighting about it and smoke up, Johnny!

If I did smoke weed regularly, I wouldn't trust the man enough to get a prescription.

f*cking feds. Getting all up in people's and states' business.

I'd say about damn time they do

I'd de-schedule it altogether. Its safer than tobacco apparently. We won't have drug wars or the feds burning millions of tax dollars to fight those louts. The Dutch have it legalized and that nation is not staggering around in a cannabis haze.

Legalize it. The biggest lobbies against legalization are liquor and tobacco.

Just legalize it, everyone does it anyways.

Yea, Denver is in great need of getting pot out there to all the serious ill people who live there. The City had more than 2,000 applications for "Medical Dispenseries" in the past year, and has closed down dozens for the obivous of selling pot to anyone who has some money and a faked Prescription from a fake Doctor for any faked complaint. How stupid can the whole process be to bother with this nonsense. Either turn on the potheads or turn them off totally, but don't waste time with this medical nonsense. Of course, the "Doctors" who cater to these potheads can charge $20 or more for an "exam" to determine if the headaches are "treatable" or just a sign of a missing organ. No refills, so back to Doctor next week, another gold mine for the whores who have medical degrees from a Mexican diploma mill.

If the selling of something is a matter for the "Department of Revenue" to take interest in, they would better spend their time seeking to obtain permits for legal brothels and gun shops as there is more revenue to be had from sex and guns than weeds which can be grown at home in a 50 cent pot.

Wow, you are horrifyingly misinformed

Yea, I probably overstate the profits to be had from prostitution. But, I know that when Denver first legalized the "medical" use of pot, one female Doctor with a degree from a Mexican "school" wrote about 2,000 prescriptions in less than two months, then fled back to Mexico when the Federal authorities began to look for her. In the intervals, Denver has a population of "sick people" like you have never imagined - a full 15-20 percent of the Hispanic population there is in need of some joints to cure their pains, and, of course, the weeds are highly "marketable" within the community - like American cigarettes were in Paris just after WWII.

As long as cops can legally steal your property they won't get behind any move to legalize marijuana. Many police departments get most of their budget from stealing peoples property in drug raids so why would they get behind a move to legalize it? Take the profit out of it for the police and you'll see them remove their opposition in a heart beat!

I can't help but feel that even though Monsanto was instrumental in getting it made illegal in the first place, drug companies would like to see it remain illegal, unless, somehow, they can get a slice of that pie. Given how easy it is to grow (remember its nickname 'weed') that doesn't seem likely, so no doubt they'll continue to lobby to keep it illegal.

True. Those louts really take the mickey outta me.

I hope they fail in their goal, because I do feel that there are some legitimate medical uses for marijuana. I also feel that research could provide other uses. In Europe, they've done studies which show that it is useful in children with autism who have repetitive dangerous behaviors, like head banging. It decreased the behavior in these children, but they won't even consider a study like that in the US.

If its proven to help patients then what's the problem? Go ahead and legalize pot, it will save the police as well as the government money from having to chase people down when they buy it!

You would think that it would be okay to have one!


(((The OIL is what the GOV does not want us to have, they want people treated with all the other useless chemicals that are not "natural"... The Hemp Plant (OIL) is good for us!)))

Screw precriptions. Just legalize it, morons!
