#1 I'm with TW. It's the men who need the medical cannabis to ease the pain.

#2 Screw it. Legalize it, tax it, regulate it and let people use it for whatever they want. Who's to say menstrual pain isn't the same as epilepsy.

#3 Really, if there was any real medical use for Cannabinoids (of which THC is one), we would already see it available in pill form. Since such pills are not readily available, I conclude that there's no such thing as "medical marijuana",but rather, it's just another excuse to get high.

#4 we would already see it available in pill form

For some applications, oral ingestion is not tolerated.

Especially when it's lit.

#6 There are all sorts of edibles, even before legalization - brownies, butter, so forth.

One problem is that they take time to kick in, so people OD. Also, pets and kids getting into them.

I don't know enough about how much the active ingredient can be refined and concentrated. I guess the best parts of really potent strands could just be ground and capsuled.

dunno gorb; I have a hard enough time tracking as it is. Perhaps the week afterwards.

"Men have really been [the ones] who’ve run state houses, governorships, presidencies, and some issues that are just about women have gotten shortchanged."

Annnnd then this statement puts me alongside SCfI's line.

#7 If the feds will get out of the way with their Schedule 1 BS and the states will get their collective heads out of their arses, you'll see your CBD pills in no time (though medicinal users prefer oils). There are plenty of legit medicinal applications. Oh yeah, and telling me when I can/can't get high is not the government's job (and not an effective deterrent, anyway). Didn't Prohibition teach us anything? /libertarian rant
