- thegamingguy, on 09/08/2008, -37/+2423 types of people I see taking interest in this story:
1) those that find this to be a good thing and scientifically interesting (moi)
2) the haters that absolutely sour on anything marijuana related
3) the stoners that get wind of it and become experts - "like, by me smoking this, I am basically helping cure like serious germs and stuff" - inactive, on 09/09/2008, -9/+1844 types:
4) the guy that's pissed he had to buy pot from a shady dealer and risk being jailed to buy his dying stepfather a sack to smoke so he would have an appetite and actually be able to eat. (Chemotherapy tends to make people nauseous, so it's difficult to hold any food down, MJ is an awesome anti-nauseotic.) --moi - Rojj, on 09/09/2008, -6/+138It's such a good medicine it makes me feel better when I'm not even sick!
- ggtsu, on 09/09/2008, -3/+131I don't want pot legalized for medicinal purposes. I just want pot legalized.
- toughluck2, on 09/09/2008, -14/+71The term "miracle medicine" immediately signals my internal ***** alarm. I'm not a hater, just saying. There is no magic bullet.
- LogicBomB, on 09/09/2008, -2/+55The OP's post comes off very "holier than thou". You've basically given these options:
1) Non-partizan observer
2) The anti-cannabis crowd
3) Stoners
What about the responsible, casual smoker? The educated smokers AND non-smokers who feel that the laws need changing? Etc...
This is the problem with discussions on cannabis is that it always appears to be stoners vs prudes. Talk about alcohol and you don't get "drunk ***** vs anti-drinking prude" comments so why does it happen with weed?
Stupid people smoke it just like stupid people get drunk. Smart people smoke it like smart people drink. If you only look at the extremists in the crowd, nothing will ever change. - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -4/+57I thought Willie Nelson was proof enough.

- Blitzenn, on 09/09/2008, -0/+45That's what Mothers against Drunk driving say, so it must be true!
- smotpoker, on 09/09/2008, -4/+457) the people who have had their lives, and livelihoods, seriously impacted by prohibition-related persecution on multiple occasions and hope that *just maybe* such a breakthrough might somehow be a step helping them put their lives back together and protect others who might be endangered by social injustices
- twiztidsinz, on 09/09/2008, -2/+38yep... kill you.
- mcphatty, on 09/09/2008, -0/+34Dugg for Billy Mays...

- Buddhaismybuddy, on 09/09/2008, -5/+37I ***** LOVE pot!
- dafragsta, on 09/09/2008, -10/+41Yes, because everyone who drinks is a slurring, stumbling alcoholic.
- Anth0n, on 09/09/2008, -1/+31How do we fix underage drinking? Legalize marijuana.

- ButterLoyalist, on 09/09/2008, -3/+29Dugg for having "Marijuana" in the title.
- JesusTeaseUs, on 09/09/2008, -0/+26You've clearly never had to kill a were-wolf.

- inactive, on 09/09/2008, -2/+25Weed isn't addictive but growing it is. My plants are like pets.
- icepick602, on 09/09/2008, -1/+23you're entire social circle sounds like a fun group...... I don't think its a matter of laziness, i think people just want to smoke pot
- ggtsu, on 09/09/2008, -0/+22Pot and alcohol are stimulants? That makes you 100% wrong.
- GanjaGirl, on 09/09/2008, -3/+24Legalize it!!
- WiretapStudios, on 09/09/2008, -0/+21Yeah! And if the cancer people want to bogart some, well, that's cool...
- Blitzenn, on 09/09/2008, -2/+21But.. but.. What about the edu-mercials from the fed that tell me it is an evil drug? It is SO bad that it fries brains and makes kids do stupid things. I know this stuff about it being 'good' for you is all a lie, cause the fed says so and eerything they do is right and truthful! So there!

"5) The doctors who believe there are alternatives to medical MJ that work just as well":
That might be, but marijuana must have considerate negative effects for there to be any reason to find an alternative. Why put so much effort into emulating a substance, when you can use the substance itself. Legalization would also make that kind of research easier, so legalization is beneficial for both purposes.
", and are pissed off that the general public is just too lazy to invest time into researching":
Again, why do it when you can use the plant itself or base medicines on it. Finding alternatives just for the sake of not using marijuana seems quite pointless.
"legal alternatives.":
Marijuana is not illegal because of its properties, but because of the properties of the people who used it back in the day. There is no scientific reason to why it should be illegal. If there is no reason to keep the plant illegal, there is no reason to find "legal alternatives".
" -- i.e. my entire social circle.":
You must be the guy complaining about "too much fun" and other arbitrary limits then? - p1eiades, on 09/09/2008, -5/+23If you can't wait for it to load:
Drugs
More Proof That Marijuana Is A Miracle Medicine
lead
Yesteday, more news broke that says our favorite plant’s favorite chemical, tetrahydrocannibinol (THC), is getting closer to a medical breakthrough. Turns out that compounds in the drug have antibacterial properties that might even defeat antibiotic-resistant germs like MRSA.
But that’s not all, of course—weed has applications that go far beyond being able to watch back-to-back episodes of The Sarah Silverman Show. Learn about more of its “healthy” uses below….
hunchback
Predicament: Osteoporosis
Treatment: In January 2006, investigators at Hebrew University in Jerusalem found that a synthetic cannabinoid slowed osteoporosis and stimulated bone building. Pause.
tourettes
Predicament: Tourette’s Syndrome
Treatment: Many patients have ***** reported a loss in ***** severity of their symptoms FILTHY SLOPHOLE after cannabis ARGH ***** treatment.
pam
Predicament: Hepatitis C
Treatment: This one’s a little dicier, but some cannabinoids may grossly enlarge your breasts while somehow doing nothing to augment your pancake cave-bitch ass reduce inflammation in some cases.
hiccups
Predicament: Incurable Hiccups
Treatment: Marijuana’s antispasmodic properties have cause relief for some tortured souls. It’s done the same for us, but we always chalked it up to not being able to hiccup around the family-size bag of Doritos we were cramming down our gullet at the time.
reagan
Predicament: Alzheimer’s Disease
Treatment: Multiple studies have found that THC inhibits an enzyme that is seen as a primary marker of the degenerative neurological disease. “Just Say No” indeed, Nancy.
But the pics are worth it. - athinnes, on 10/01/2009, -1/+19First of all, "They're stimulants"
no.
Second of all,
Why do people drink? Why do people drink soda with caffeine? Or coffee. The question you asked raises so many questions that would have nothing to do with pot. We are people prescribed anti depressants? It is really great that your life is so great that you don't need to have a beer or smoke a joint once in a while, but others might. Others have different needs and enjoyments that keeps them happy in this world that can be oh so not happy sometimes. - CJ117, on 09/09/2008, -2/+20I guess the same thing applies to Sex.
It's natural, not bad for you, highly enjoyable, and improves the quality of life.
But hey, considering you've never done either, maybe YOU should work on changing your reality. - twiztidsinz, on 09/09/2008, -1/+18Would you accept 'magic green leaf' then?
- HippyInASuit, on 09/09/2008, -2/+17Forget about antibacterial properties. Do a Google search and you'll see strong evidence that cannabinoids target and destroy cancer!
- Surferess, on 09/08/2008, -6/+20nailed it!
- remoterem, on 09/09/2008, -3/+17you think smoking and intelligence can't coexist? then i'm going to say you file under 8) pompous douchebags on digg.
- inactive, on 09/09/2008, -6/+19is there anything it can't do
- BXRWXR, on 09/09/2008, -10/+235) Pompous asses.
- BoneheadFarker, on 09/09/2008, -3/+16Lazy??? Do you realize how many projects are both thought-up and started while I'm high? *****, if I had a real shop to work in, I'd probably spend all my time in there building things. Which reminds me...need to pick up wood before it gets too cold out...
On a more serious note, the amount of medical properties found in pot grows almost daily as more research is done. What should really concern you is that you probably won't see any of the resulting applications unless many of the laws are changed regarding pot... - mywhitenoise, on 09/09/2008, -1/+13I'd love to have a beer with that guy.
- zomgwaffles, on 09/09/2008, -1/+13I smoke two joints in the morning.
I smoke two joints at night.
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
:) - wrs123, on 09/09/2008, -3/+15why spend money researching a legal way when pot works? don't mistake illegal with morally unacceptable
- Kohaxx, on 09/09/2008, -1/+13Billy Mays is actually a robot with a faulty voicebox. I'm just waiting for the day the video leaks of him in an infinite loop.

IT'S MORE THAN A SPONGE! - Spudster, on 09/09/2008, -0/+12I think he would sell you the beer first. Then convince you to tip him double for doing it.
- TrevorBelmont, on 09/09/2008, -2/+14It's because the only people who you (the collective you) can spot as a stoner at a glance are the filthy hippie, "420" tee-shirt wearing, dreaded haired, furry, slow-mo, drum circle, "it's all good", giant pants, Phish listening, van driving, think they know but they don't, "from da earf" jackasses.
It's easy to spot casual drinkers because they are right over there, drinking casually and responsibly. It's harder to spot the casual smoker because he or she has applied eye drops and smoked out of sight on account of not wanting to go to jail.
I see why people assume pot smokers are useless *****. These guys paint the whole lot of smokers with their filthy, patchouli stinking brush.
- pauls88, on 09/09/2008, -2/+14we're close people, i can almost smell it.
- NinjaBoy, on 09/09/2008, -2/+14I will just tell the cops that Scott Nash gave me the OK
- skabyss, on 09/09/2008, -0/+11One step at a time my friend...
- BoneheadFarker, on 09/09/2008, -0/+11@Lucas123
Hell...the AMA, even with heavy influence from the DEA, acknowledges the medicinal value of pot and wants more research into it's use. Plus they can't fully agree if there are adverse effects from it's use in humans. But that comes from a lack of ability to research because of the law. About the only adverse effect they do acknowledge is from the inhalation of smoke, and that can be eliminated through the use of vapourizers.
You're going to have to do better then that to be a successful troll... -
