So who here wants to defend this still being illegal? It is ridiculous given what we know about cannabis especially given how widely accepted alcohol is.

An 11-year-old boy who was dying from severe epilepsy has not had any seizures for 300 days since being prescribed a medical marijuana product.
Billy Caldwell, whose intractable epilepsy means he cannot get help through medication or diet, began treatment with cannabis oil in the US, where medical marijuana is legal, in 2016.
quote:
His prescription was transferred to his local GP, Brendan O’Hare, in Northern Ireland, and Billy became the first person to receive a prescription for medical marijuana in the UK.
quote:
His mother, Charlotte Caldwell, said Billy used to suffer up to 100 seizures per day, has now not had a single seizure for 300 days. Ms Caldwell said the cannabis oil has also improved his autism, for example, better eye contact and engagement with books and toys.

And he's most likely taking CBD oil which doesn't have intoxicating effects

And tell me when alcohol can treat a disease. It seems to only make them worse from my experience.

Exactly
Both should be illegal imo

Fine. Make the oil legal in a pill form for medical use.
You potheads that just wanna get high and drive around messed up are the reason criminal penalties exist and frankly need to be stronger.
I mean seriously??? If you are just a pothead for the sake of getting high, don't come around marching behind medical weed as your banner.

So taking street drugs and being stoned all the time is better than going to the doctor and getting medicine?

Yeah, because it has worked out so well both times.
The alcohol failures are obvious, but heroin is the one to focus one: Heroin is more than 600 times cheaper than it was before the War on Drugs
Land of the Free my arse when we have assholes wanting to run it as a prison state that helps no one but people who benefit on it.

Alcohol has been used to treat a variety of diseases since the Stone Age and doctors say it's good for your heart
A few potheads on the internet say there was a kid in a foreign country that was helped by smoking pot
Which is a more valid source?

Alcohol has killed more people indirectly in a week than weed will ever do directly for 20 years.

That's what's so funny about the weed argument.
These people just want to get high.
They can't accept legalization on the medical side as the end. They need it too because they are drug adicts. They don't give a crap about that kid unless his story makes their desire to get high legal.

Yeah frick all those millions of dollars that could be made from a harmless plant to grow the economy!!!

Actually heroin is a life saving drug when it is distilled into its safer and more useful forms. Millions of Americans suffer from debilitating diseases like fibromyalgia which you could never understand the pain and pills are the only treatment

I haven't smoked pot in 4 years. Maybe I can look at kids like this or people who like freedom, and be able to judge you for the count that you actually are. You can't tell me with a straight face that you support freedom when you want a drug as harmless as pot illegal.

So?
Have you ever heard anyone dying from a weed overdose?
Honestly, People who thinks weed is dangerous and needs to stay illegal are prime candidates for short bus rides to school.

I watched a documentary on cannabis oil. Supposedly this oil works well on seizures.

Honestly a lot of these potheads in this thread would probably steal that kids weed if they needed a fix bad enough
