The other day I wrote a little post about California and the expectation they will soon be voting for a big step towards de-criminalizing marijuana. As usual, in my post I rant and rave about what a backasswards place Kansas is and how they could never, ever do something like that. As far as I am concerned, it is just too beat into people in this part of the US that ALL DRUGS ARE BAD. However, it's ok to drink copious amounts of alcohol even if you are a teenager, especially if you plan on driving.
The attitude, generally speaking that I have come across is this ( from the article ):
See, they see marijuana in the light of Reefer Madness, not for the benefits that it has. What's more, I highly believe that any legislator will avoid this bill as if it were the Black Plague.
As usual, I'm right. No need to applaud, just throw money.
Some legislator in Kansas has introduced a bill that will legalize marijuana for medicinal use. I'm not going to debate the medicinal effects of marijuana. It's just not worth my time, and I don't have the medical background. I'm a software developer you knuckleheads. However, I think this guy deserves a freakin' medal. He must have balls the size of pineapples. As much as I would love to think that the people in this state are a progressive bunch that will stand behind him, I know that will never happen.
"Let's be honest, this would be an attempt to legalize marijuana," Schwab said Wednesday. "It has no benefit for pain management. All it does is make you crave another bag of chips."
Medical marijuana is truly a really good medication for lots of folks, regardless of what some folks say. I know friends who have been helped with medical cannabis.
