-Eric Holder, the attorney general under president obama, confirmed at a press conference that he would no longer subject individuals who were complying with state medical marijuana laws to federal drug raids and prosecutions; this potentially leads to the same endpoint as the twenty first amendment, which repealed the federal prohibition of alcohol, which included selling and distributing.
-If your anti-medical marijuana and feel it damages the body and mind, let me just say a couple of quick, important facts. If you look at the medicinal page on this blog you will find a post describing the safety of cannabis; how cannabis does not have a known LD 50 (limit to death), or how it is physically impossible to overdose on. Unfortunately doctors prescribe dangerous pills that produce minor to severe side effects like suicidal thoughts, nausea, diarrhea, back pain and/ or skin flushing. You might say to yourself “well doctors usually prescribe these pills to people who really need them”. One of my good friends is prescribed to more than 5 pharmaceutical pills and everyday, at around 5pm, he is either nodding out or passed out on the sofa. If you have a friend or relative who has a similar problem, consult an outside physician (a doctor you never go to).
