Michigan Votes Forum

To those of you who object to aiding people with chronic pain, I hope that at some point in your lives you will suffer the same permanent 24/7 severe pain that we are in. Then you will see why we are so desperate for relief.

 Michigan is the only state that has an unlimited PI law. Why? How do the residents of other states cope?  The medical marijuana permits can be bought  from many doctors. Now they want us to pay for their weed that is lost in an accident? How would we know the weed was purchased from a legal source? I seriously doubt that most "medical marijuana" is purchased to relieve chronic pain.

People using marijuana to relieve pain just doesn't fit your preconceived idea of a marijuana user, eh?

 Must be an awful lot of pain in high schoolers and the ghettos, eh?  Face it, there are ways to relieve pain other than pot. The MM law is just a ruse for dopers and growers. Think these MM centers springing up everywhere especially around college towns are because we have so many kids in pain?  Yeah, right.

And Gypsy, I am not saying you use marijuana. Your posts suggest a stronger mind altering substance.

Yea, truth and logic are quite "mind altering". Try it some time. Just start out slow, since you are a newbie.

To albaby2: Yes, there are a lot of other ways to relieve "some of the pain", but they can cause other health issues like kidney failure (for example). I have horrific pain every second of my life, but I try to use the minimal amount of prescription pain meds possible. I have never tried marijuana, because I am not willing to risk going to prison (JUST to relieve my pain). I do know some people who use it and say that this is the only thing that has given them a great deal of relief. I believe them, and would like to mention that they are not dopers and none of them lives in "the ghetto".

I doubt you have ever experienced the type of pain I live with, but I would say that about 95% of prescription pain medications do not relieve any pain at all. I am speaking of oxycontin, fentanyl, percodan and percocet (to mention a few), which are also used by cancer patients. These medications just messed up my head and I could not function normally.

So please albaby2, stick to topics that you know something about.

Doctors don't / can't sell MMJ  cards .

"Now they want us to pay for their weed that is lost in an accident?" Another republican lie .

Since it's illegal to sell "weed" there are no legal sources . Whitch makes this law pretty sensless.

.

Stick to the truth instead of these republican fictions and lies albaby2.

 albaby2 Thanks for your input, MORON.  Let me remind you, the voters of MICHIGAN voted on the law as is, to prevent you and your fellow morons from getting between what a MAJORITY of Michigan voters wanted and what a few narrow minded ingrates, like yourself, want.  You see, the MAJORITY of Michigan voters dont care about your opinion because you LOST.  Just so you know, ANY Michigan legislator that attempts to modify this law as VOTED IN BY A MAJORITY OF MICHIGAN VOTERS, will not win in the next election.  PS, sign the petition to remove snyder.

I don't think I get it, medical marijuana is a legal drug now so it makes no sense to come up with this bill, it just doesn't make any sense. I am not a drug supporter, in fact I'v learned my lesson with drugs after I completed my recovery in a suboxone treatment center but that doesn't mean I can't see an injustice when it's right in front of me. Boy, I don't want to be on medical marijuana now, these people go through a lot these days.

 Oh, come off it Ralpho, there are so many phony medical Pot scrip writers and growers. That is what is making this necessary. I know  stoners who laugh about how easy it is to get a scrip, and who try to use the scrip as an excuse to show up high at work.  I don't want to fly in an airplane whose pilot is higher than the plane, or live near a nuclear or chemical plant operated by dopers.
