Always interesting to see who advocates THC and to what degree, very telling.
I am ambivalent about it, don't care it for much but don't have a problem with those who enjoy it as long as i don't meet them on the road or at work when they are stoned.
I fired a few for lousy production, and i believe, a pot induced inability to take being on time seriously, not to mention the quick tokes at break time. You do that you have a drug problem, no different than a gulp of Vodka.
I grew out of my young stupidity with booze, and yes occasionally pot in my mid 20's. I still enjoy a drink some days and even toke once in a long while but wonder about the mental health of those who do not or cannot use moderation.
Whom i really have an issue with are those who are rabid in their defense of unrestricted access and even make up stories of wondrous cures to promote it. I would treat it like alcohol and make damn sure the penalties for misuse of both stuck like sh*t to a boot.

You take issue with this: http://dotsub.com/media/fc4e051a-1709-4e63-8a2c-912b09486c9f/e/m
Or did you even bother to watch it?
This is what the 'science' of medical marijuana is all about, selectively chosen anecdotal stories, ignoring other explanations for a remission in this case, or from people who got no benefit.. without any information as the the specific dosing regimen.. unsupported by any kind of rigorous testing protocol, which always involves double blind tests, strictly measured, involving thousands of people for any legitimate medicine. Basically this stuff has all the validity of UFO science... people say they've been up in spaceships with aliens doing experiments on them.. and a certain segment of the population will take that as proof positive of their existence.

I hope you never get cancer and have to undergo the barbaric practices of the medical mafia. But to each his own.
I got about 60 sec in and realized it was anecdotal. So if i convince my friend who has skin cancer to try that and it does not work, does he get to give AIDS to the charlatan?
It was people like this that had people dying after going to Mexico to take Laetrile (from Apricot pits) for cancer in the 70's.
That is what I was thinking. I know weed eases some of the pain and after effects of chemo... but curing cancer?
One thing that I always got a kick out of in here... you Canucks in here love that weed. Not that there is anything wrong with it.

He was a U.S. Attorney from 2001 to 2007, when he resigned along with eight other U.S attorneys.

I think it is the other way around there. The BCSC can overturn legislation but the legislators can't overturn a court ruling. As it should be the legislature sits under the courts in our system.
The govt did but the BCSC just said you didn't....aren't you paying attention...;-)
