DawgLyfe...Yes, I have driven after smoking. Guess what? Never been in an accident.

That's good! I am glad you have been careful. However, statistics show that many people are not as skilled a driver, or as careful as you have been. And that means deaths on the road. It would kill me to get a call saying my wife, daughter or son had been killed from a drunk driver or a driver high from smoking marijuana. And I KNOW we have seen train wrecks in which the conductors had been smoking weed.

I won't argue about some of the side effects of prescribed medicines. but I would argue that we do not need to add to that. We need to get the harmful drugs off the market.

My wife and i used to laugh after those commercials, too! A drug that promises to cure sinus infections..possible side effects are "Suicidal thoughts, impotence, blindness, heart palpatations, etc. etc. etc!

I'll keep the sinus infections, thank you!

For what it is worth, I read your link. AND, I looked at and read some of the studies it based it's article on. However, what I found is that it based the information on only a part of the studies. For instance...it's claims about epilepsy? The link talked about the effects of epilepsy on pregnant women, and such. That link said nothing, that I could see, about the effects of marijuana helping epileptic patients. In other words, in the 2-3 links I looked at it used the links to get effects of diseases, but none of the ones I read said marijuana helped. ONLY the main article made those claims without supporting documentation.

Like I told the other guys...we've beaten this horse to death. I am ready to move on and talk football. Shall we call truce and just talk football on this football board?
