re: I'm in Birmingham, AL for a conference on opioids

I presented your argument only slightly more stupidly than you presented it. Sorry if that was unfair.

You're embarrassing. I genuinely feel bad for you.

While you are there could you plant some MJ around the Roll Tide Administration Bldg....

We need some two year suspensions like the NCAA laid on the Tigers......

Do you think you could score me some opoids?

You can’t compare the two at all.

All you have to do is search “marijuana makes pain worse” and you will find scientific studies, articles, even forum posts on marijuana websites talking about it.

Opiates are a pain killer but they are deadly. I say the solution is to make the opiates completely monitored. Don’t even give patients access, just give it to them when they ask and don’t let them leave the hospital until the effects have worn off.

Marijuana, which doesn’t even help with pain, is not the solution.

That’s the joke dude

Haven't read through the middle part of this thread yet from where we left off last night, but how did the presentation go?

Wasn't booed off stage, but it's an uphill battle.
Did have several people (doctors) asking me about research and wanting more info. But, the DEA reps and US Attorney wanted nothing to do with me afterwards when I tried to speak with them.

There is a Drug Education Council conference in OB in Oct, and while I have been begging them for years to have a forum to no real response, I'm going to stroll in there and bring some noise.

offense, but that's insane.

Why? If someone wants to shoot heroin, knowing exactly what it leads to, then we should not only allow it, but encourage it.

Cleanse the gene pool. Let Darwin do his work. It should be illegal to give narcan to those who are overdosing. LET. THEM. DIE.

The world is better off without them.

Statistics compiled by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) indicate that between 2001 and 2007, lifetime prevalence rates for cannabis, cocaine, amphetamines, ecstasy, and LSD have risen for the Portuguese general population (ages 15-64) and for the 15-34 age group.

Past-month prevalence figures show increases from 2001 to 2007 in cocaine and LSD use in the Portuguese general population as well as increases in cannabis, cocaine, and amphetamine use in the 15-34 age group.

Drug-induced deaths, which decreased in Portugal from 369 in 1999 to 152 in 2003, climbed to 314 in 2007 – a number significantly higher than the 280 deaths recorded when decriminalization started in 2001.

Despite Cato’s assertion that increases in lifetime prevalence levels among the general population are “virtually inevitable in every nation,” EMCDDA data indicate that other countries, including Spain, have been able to achieve decreases in lifetime prevalence rates for cannabis and ecstasy use between 2003 and 2008.

Lol. Want to link something from this decade?

Now you’re just being disingenuous.
