Yes it needs reclassification immediately. Rec use and med use are separate

Issues and should be dealt with separately.
Rec use .adults should be able to use. Gover me t tax and regulate and that be that. There arent vert mant good arguments ro4 not allowing adults to to 2hat they 2ant within laws that will protect society.
We have plenty of substances that are equal or more harmful that are allo24d alr3ady.

Medical use needs more research. Doesages, delivery methods, frequency effects. Etc.

Maybe. BUT the research you linked to and from the OP article

2/11/19 12:50pm

Don't believe we ever talked about addictive properties. It would most likely be psychological anyway.

The Fed needs to re classify it today so it can be researched more thouroighly

Should've pointed out that the study was conducted by the University of Utah.

This is one of my two issues with legal MJ in my state: 1. smoking THC is harmful to virtually everyone,even if it holds

After a review of research let me correct you.

What are your sources for your assertions? Also, you are bringing up issues that I did not (ie addiction)

OceanMang

2/11/19 12:17pm

Nope. There is nothing harmless about marijuana smoke

BeardedSpock

2/11/19 1:02pm

Exactly. It’s a fact that smoke in the lungs is not good. No debate there.

2/11/19 1:12pm

Correct....but at what rates? Water in the lings isnt either.

2/11/19 2:19pm

Water in the lungs? I don’t get that comparison.

2/11/19 2:24pm

Smoking cigarettes...pipe different impact. Cigars..different effect..mj,

2/11/19 7:26pm

Yeah. Like I said. Smoke is bad for the lungs. Period.

2/11/19 7:35pm

Correct. Some smoking inhalants are worse than others.

2/11/19 8:12pm

Somewhere between bad for you and really bad for you.

2/11/19 8:25pm

Yep, which why aspirating water is bad.

2/11/19 2:27pm

Hard to draw those conclusions w/o better testing.

soupie

2/11/19 4:43pm

I can find a plethora of reputable scientific articles that promote both sides

OceanMang

2/11/19 2:14pm

Well, I agree with you that marijuana should be studied more

BeardedSpock

2/11/19 7:21pm

This is my thinking as well.

2/11/19 7:25pm

Legalizing it for use isn't necessary for research. In fact, that would be pretty dangerous. It does need to

soupie

2/11/19 7:25pm

You mean that "coukd" be pretty dangerous. Though

2/11/19 7:35pm

Legalizing it would remove the stigma and eliminate the black market. More

USMCdad

2/11/19 12:00pm

My prediction is that medical MJ will not replace opioids as a viable option for sever pain control.

2/11/19 12:02pm

Totally? Of course not too much variability in people.

2/11/19 2:30pm

Brother, I don’t understand what you’re sayin here.

2/11/19 2:45pm

400ish Utah opiod deaths in Utah last year. 0 MJ deaths.

The point of bringing sucessful people up is that not all people who smoke weed are brain dead pot heads.
