marijuana

[rustyduck]

does it lower high blood pressure like the history channel says?

if you smoke some and then do blood work for cholesterol, ect, and marijuana shows up can the doctor turn you in?

if blood work proves you used marijuana, do lose your ccw?

if you are in a car accident, get tested and found to have marijuana in your system, you get charged?

You dropped the M-bomb, IOP1!

Possibly, but we have much more effective agents than that.

He would specifically have to do a urine drug screen. Doc's don't do the hair stuff. THC would not show up on cholesterol, CBC, Chem-7, or other lab work. Don't give him a need for UDS, and it certainly wouldn't matter. If he DOES find you positive, then it'll just go on your records @ that office. He won't turn you in unless he's a prick, or has a very good reason to.

I believe so. Others may comment. There's a question on the survey about THC when you're purchasing a firearm.

if you are in a car accident, get tested and found to have marijuana in your system, you get charged?

If it contributes to a DUI, then yes. (DUI can be used for drugs too).

If you're randomly screened and found to be THC+, then no. Possession is illegal, not evidence of post-consumption.

He's right on the money with these answers.

Because cannabis has many other outstanding medicinal values.

Nice Job Speed!

The best way to control your BP, is to exercise and eat right.

 

[thatwhichisnt]

Marijuana can do what you said. I consider it much safer than other prescription drugs. However, it is amazing what just living healthy, eating right, and excersize does to your body. Just doing that can help your health in so many ways.

What I find MORE amazing is people's inability to do so.

It seems so simple;

Eat right + Exercise = FEEL Awesome! both Mentally and Physically

Eat Crap + No exercise = tired, depressing = Eat more crap = tired, depressing, = eat more crap, so on and so forth until like most Americans you can end up carrying an average of 30+ lbs EXTRA which leads to always having a tense/sore back, hurting knees clothes that fit too tight which leads to more depression and eating of crap. It’s quite a vicious cycle.

I got some guys at work to simply give up all drinks except Water and Milk, and to work on eating "0" Carbs for the last meal of the day(Supper) and to buy the assorted Fruit bags with Oranges/Apples to snack on. Since Jan 1st they are all fitting a little better in their pants and this is WITHOUT exercise. Exercise only speeds this process up.

Personally, I wish they would decriminalize all drugs. Turn it over to the health care professionals. If they were to do that, you would see an immediate decrease in the pushing of drugs to children. Crime would eventually decrease because the profit would be removed from the drug trade. (Of course, initially crime may increase because the gangs would need to find another form of income. )
But, as was pointed out, it is illegal and because of that it just is not worth the risk. Get caught with illegal drugs and a gun, you are screwed.
FWIW,,,google the "drug war and Portugal" and "Drug war and Britain"
And,,,if they did this,,,we would not be hearing all this crap about firearms and Mexican drug cartels.

I do not drink that much coke. Usually its water and coffee (black) for me. I just eat healthier, salads, chicken, lots of veggies, etc. Do that for 1 or 2 weeks and you will feel so much better.

And I think we're upside down on this "drug war". We spend billions chasing dealers and cartels while we coddle the users and "treat" their "disease". The users are the reason that there are dealers and cartels. Getting high (including drunk) isn't cute. It is a voluntary surrender of the ability to behave responsibly. My suggestion to handle the drug issue is to decriminalize sale and possession, but punish the living hell out of intoxicated behavior and deny treatment for voluntary OD's. Deny him his customers and the dealer will go out of business.

 

[tim9lives]

I'll go one step further and say if the DEA were to target the Ivy League Colleges in the same manner they target inner cities you would see an immediate open discussion on the direction of the War on Drugs. Every university across this country has a very high prevalence and incidence of substance abuse. Yet, the DEA knows as soon as they did that, the rich and powerful would be phoning Congressman and Senators raising hell. How can junior be a criminal ?
