- inactive, on 06/28/2008, -4/+60Holy ***** are you serious? I thought Digg.com was Congress' website for passing laws! Who duped me?!

Goofy authoritarian: Getting your "wise ass comment" on this page won't slow the unstoppable moment towards the acceptance of medical marijuana. - btschul, on 06/28/2008, -5/+50But it's marijuana. It's evil, right? Its illegal because .................................well.......................
...................ummm............................ it is. - einrobstein, on 06/28/2008, -4/+46The article doesn't even mention the words cancer and glaucoma...
Why would you create a ***** misleading title like that? - Synova, on 06/28/2008, -1/+40...and anorexia.
- BoneheadFarker, on 06/28/2008, -5/+44I have Crohn's Disease. ***** you.
- cheeseplease, on 06/28/2008, -6/+38Reply *****, do you click it?
- icantdenythis, on 06/28/2008, -1/+33as a pharmacy technician it is definitely the best substitute for today's painkillers. Most of our painkillers kill you.
- cryptomystic, on 06/28/2008, -2/+333 reasons why it will never be legalized:
1. Prison Industrial complex
2. Big Pharma
3. Neo Cons - Fhwqhgads, on 06/28/2008, -0/+30Big Pharma doesn't control it, and they don't have a patent on it. Therefore it's "dangerous" and "unproven" and outlawed by their marketing branch/enforcement arm, the FDA.
- TJ11240, on 06/28/2008, -0/+29Why do we keep neglecting these properties? Would a little research really be that bad?
- inactive, on 06/28/2008, -1/+28It DOES treat glaucoma. I've been using it for years, and I can tell you from first hand experience that it works--in the 6 years that I've been using it, I've regained 10% of my lost visual field (something that never happens with glaucoma if you leave it alone), and suffered no more loss of vision at all. My fluid pressure is will within normal boundaries as long as I have a little 3-4 times a week. It doesn't take much, and is certainly cheaper than the alternative legal medication. And the munchies is a side effect I'm prepared to live with.
- solidcube, on 06/28/2008, -2/+28Why do you hate cancer patients?
- solidcube, on 06/28/2008, -0/+26Yes, it IS a big ***** issue that cancer and AIDS patients can't have a palliative that's not addictive, if nothing else. Add to that the fact that it cures nausea and restores appetite. That right there is a lifesaver for people with wasting diseases.
It DOES help glaucoma. It stops glaucoma in its tracks by lessening eyeball pressure and prevents it from progressing any further. Who the hell are the politicians to tell my friend with glaucoma that he has to go blind rather than smoke a harmless plant that for some bizarre reason they have demonized and are fixated upon?
But all this begs the real fundamental question. Who the hell do they think they are, telling us what we can and can not do in the privacy of our own god damn homes? - MasterThief117, on 06/28/2008, -2/+27It killed my dog. And it raped my father.
- mCanada, on 06/28/2008, -2/+26He's trolling, ***** him, come to Canada.
- NikoKun, on 06/28/2008, -0/+23Part of an explanation of how Marijuana fights cancer:
"
The study by Manuel Guzmán of Madrid Spain found that cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana, inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animals. They do so by modulating key cell-signalling pathways, thereby inducing direct growth arrest and death of tumor cells, as well as by inhibiting the growth of blood vessels that supply the tumor.
The Guzman study is very important according to Dr. Ethan Russo , a neurologist and world authority on medical cannabis: "Cancer occurs because cells become immortalized; they fail to heed normal signals to turn off growth. A normal function of remodelling in the body requires that cells die on cue. This is called apoptosis, or programmed cell death. That process fails to work in tumors. THC promotes its reappearance so that gliomas, leukemias, melanomas and other cell types will in fact heed the signals, stop dividing, and die."
"But, that is not all," explains Dr. Russo: "The other way that tumors grow is by ensuring that they are nourished: they send out signals to promote angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels. Cannabinoids turn off these signals as well. It is truly incredible, and elegant."

http://www.safeaccessnow.org/article.php?id=748 - btschul, on 06/28/2008, -4/+25Ron Paul called for it's legalization.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHS_y94H1Dk - heyblue, on 06/28/2008, -1/+20That's no joke. I started smoking when I was 18 because I had an ulcer and no medical insurance. No insurance meant I no treatment for the ulcer and the only thing that calmed the pain and nausea in my stomach and gave me an appetite was marijuana. Before I started smoking I was anorexic, I'm 5'8" tall and at the worst point I was down to 103 pounds. Marijuana may have saved my life. Seriously.
- NikoKun, on 06/28/2008, -2/+19So now they've found that THC, CBD, CB1 and 2, all have anti-cancer properties. (And I'm not sure if that's all, I might be missing something...) Maybe it's medical properties work best, together, rather than trying to isolate each single property.
The medical value of Marijuana, in it's complete form, is greater than that of any of it's single parts. - NikoKun, on 06/28/2008, -0/+17Fine... here:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=3OqSRfzqwWA - inactive, on 06/28/2008, -0/+17Never even mind the ***** medical aspect.
People are in jail for smoking what is scientifically proven to be a harmless medicine. That is absolutely digusting.
Alcohol and tobacco are both worst for you.

- EarlOfLade, on 06/28/2008, -0/+15Personally, I smoke because I like it and have done so since 1972.
- moobies, on 06/28/2008, -9/+24My CB1 receptor is highly active right now. hehelololol
- wigmaster, on 06/28/2008, -1/+16The United States and their fascist overlords fear Cannabis too much to fund any real research.
- chrissku, on 06/28/2008, -1/+15"A compound in marijuana may be a potent anti-inflammatory agent that won't get people high, scientists say."
BORING - BoneheadFarker, on 06/28/2008, -2/+15@mCanada
Already here. Have been all my life. And I'm hoping that someone in Parliment grows a pair and forces a vote soon... - wigmaster, on 06/28/2008, -3/+16What stoners? Perfectly normal people can smoke cannabis or take THC however they like, not to mention people who are afflicted with crippling diseases such as MS (which my mother has, it prevents her from walking long periods of time) and others.
Who made you so high and mighty? - solidcube, on 06/28/2008, -0/+12Dude, it's time to bang the drum. We're going to get it legalized and now we have critical mass. Quit your bitching and join us.
Gays would still be thrown in jail if not for the fact that they got loud and demonstrated. We need to do the same, and to take every opportunity to raise consciousness online and elsewhere. - zephyr42, on 06/28/2008, -2/+13If you can show me a legitimate article, aka one not funded by gov/FDA that is already totally against MJ, showing me that it will do more harm to me than good I'd be very very interested and give you full consideration.
- zephyr42, on 06/28/2008, -1/+12Because of racist alcohol prohibitionists that wanted to keep the bureaucracy but still keep the common American angry at something.
- MasterThief117, on 06/28/2008, -1/+12Hey, cool. Soon we will be seeing this on the market.
Oh wait, no, that's right. The government is filled with too many lobbyists from the pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, food companies, textile companies, and paper companies who are threatened by such a useful, versatile plant. - illyriah, on 06/28/2008, -1/+12Crohn's sucks. Marijuana doesn't. Yay Canada.
- Chronchitis, on 06/28/2008, -1/+12If America wants to end it's drug problems then it needs to be legalized
- inactive, on 06/28/2008, -4/+15i love pot. I smoke mostly out of my dugout and one hitter.
- georgemason01, on 06/29/2008, -0/+10You should have as much right to use it for your reasons as someone else should for to treat a medical condition. The medical marijuana debate is ***** - Cannabis should be 100% legal.
- atbnet, on 06/28/2008, -0/+10Did you know that Amsterdam has less youth who smoke marijuana than say the UK where there are extremely tough laws against it?
The more you know! - DrainBamaged138, on 06/28/2008, -0/+9"smoking it is an excellent source of nicotine"
dude what the ***** are you talking about?
and youre right im sure i toke up everyday so i can be bored.... - BoneheadFarker, on 06/28/2008, -3/+12Unless you have Crohn's disease and have tried smoking pot, I'd suggest you stay out of the discussion. I am in pain every ***** day, and the only thing that helps is pot. Normally smoking is the only thing that gives me an appetite, otherwise I have no interest in eating. If it were more accepted and not kept down by fear and racism, the world would be a much better place.
- mikem94590, on 06/28/2008, -0/+9Everyone I have talked to about this subject has said that marijuana is less dangerous and cancer causing than cigarettes. The government should in my opinion legalese it, and take in tax dollars from the legal sale of it.
- Adam420, on 06/29/2008, -0/+9im high...
- solidcube, on 06/28/2008, -0/+9Give up the drug war, Mccain astroturfer.
- BrosDuCK, on 06/28/2008, -0/+9No it's "to" ...Buried.
- topgigmedia, on 06/28/2008, -1/+10Pot is a gateway drug and without these gateway drugs to other drugs, like say, coke - who will be left to do coke and dance in in clubs?
Holding hands under age the age of 18 is a gateway to teen pregnancy - we should ban that too. We should ban everything. Only then will we be safe from ourselves
/sarcasm - limpits, on 06/28/2008, -0/+9funny thing is that hes not actually high, he just wanted the +1
