OH NOES!!!!!!! Can you imagine folks hopped up on reefer careening down the roads recklessly at 10 miles below the speed limit. Can you imagine someone going on reefer induced psychological state where they keep trying to run people over, shoot at them with their guns and literally force this drug down our kids throats? Is there even room to force these drugs down their throats whilst smoking a dube'?

The safe drugs for kids:

Adderall and Adderall XR
Concerta
Dexedrine
Focalin and Focalin XR
Metadate CD and Metadate ER
Methylin and Methylin ER
Ritalin , Ritalin SR, Ritalin LA
Vyvanse
Daytrana

I'm sure they all been tested and the kickbacks the Doctors received when the pharm reps comes by is all above board. What does it take before a child is labelled safe enough to no longer need the drugs above. Do they now graduate to even stronger meds prescribed for a lifetime?????

And they had the nerve to put pot in the same schedule as heroin. Here are the drug schedules:
<link:http://www.docstoc.com/docs/document-preview.aspx?doc_id=15713227 >[p]

Yay, they're watching out for us imbeciles. Look at the drugs in each schedule.
They put pot with:
Heroin, LSD, Quaaludes, Mescaline, Some derivatives of Morphine whatever that means, Some variants of Amphetamines, Psilocybin, Peyote, Rohypnol (date rape drug but so is alcohol) Bufotenine, Hash and oils, GHB, MDMA, Fentanyl, LAMM (huh?) and finally, Khat.

That pot is with any of those drugs is a crime. Number of deaths by pot yearly:0, Number of violent or domestic abuse crimes on pot:0. Number of people on pot who can now keep down food after chemotherapy, people who have their chronic pain made manageable, number of people with an apatite after some medical procedure took it away from them. The answer, we don't know. I'm sure there's a study but it doesn't support the gov's stance so it's buried. At the moment, some law enforcement agencies are leaving alone dispensaries and the growing operations but for how long?

One more comparison, the next drugs up the schedule, meaning it's not as bad as pot and everything else in schedule one are:
Codeine.
Hydrocodone.
Morphine.
Fentanyl (100 times stronger than morphine, a synthesized drug).
Methadone - dolophine.
Amphetamine (seriously!!!!!!!! WTF?).
Marinol= Big pharms answer to pot but it leaves out hundreds of other things that make pot work as it does.
Dilaudid.
Percodan.
Demoral.
Desoxyn (methamphetamine-really!!!) .
Percocet.
Opium.
Propoxephene, why, it's weaker that codeine and and overdose is quick death.
Ketamine.
Dexedrine.
Dextroamphetamine.
Oxycodone (active ingredient in Oxycontin).
Oxymorphone.
