FWIW, it has helped me cut back my alcohol consumption by at least 50%. You don’t hear of potheads doing the stupid things drunks do.

You can go to any town and find plenty of bars serving hard alcohol. For normal sized people, it takes relatively little to get legally drunk and get a DUI. I’ve never heard of stuff coming out of pot shops the way you’d hear out of bars or even liquor stores.

I agree that there can be pot addicts, but people can get addicted to virtually anything. Legalizing it medically would be a big help in getting people off of the opioids especially which afflict this region.

I think people should be allowed to make their own choice. Likely not nearly as bad as alcohol or tobacco. In fact, it has been shown to have some positive effects.

NCN Your Opinion is worthless Unless your capiable of stating fact and yours at least needs update so read up on the difference between Commerical HEMP and Marijuana and give a proper answer for the question above and reply with FACT not OPINIONS .

You might save your slanted point of view for other forums . Let me ask you this since you think marijuana is sooo dangerous - Do you drink alcohol at all . A glass of wine or a beer after a hard week , Better stop and think . Drinking alcohol including beer cause far more problems with a person's health, how they get along with other people in general like marriage issues , maintaining a job and death of others do to being under the influence when compared to marijuana . The Feds make money off alcohol so its ok ! How about smoking cigarettes as we all know there truly deadly , even the second hand smoke but still legal since the feds getting there tax from each sale . Sorta like moonshine . make it to a set standard , pay your tax and sell away !

After a few minutes of research did you know Marijuana is LEGAL in The District Of Columbia for any one 2 and over with up to 1oz on you . At home 2oz is legal and you grow up to 6 plants for the average person not just for legal medical needs!!

By all means bust any non-taxed drugs regardless of what it is if it alters how you feel and function but your point of view needs some educating.

I encourage everyone to contact their state legislators about this issue before the session starts.

So has anyone applied for a patient card from the Eastern Band? Its seems to be a pretty easy process overall, hard to tell how serious they are about vetting the "documentation" that you have one of the 18 medical conditions that qualify. Just curious if anyone knows or has heard anything about the process? Thanks.
