hi from europe. i have heard that some states in usa already offer med pot, if so which and in what form? in europe it seems switzerland are pioneering this medicine and have been growing med pot for years to a very high standard. even here in britain we are conducting clinical studies into a cannabis extract spray for medical use although it will not contain any delta9thc, lol all the benefits none of the pleasure. fortunately apart from the underground med pot distributers, we have now 3 or4 "coffeeshops" in britain that the police turn a blind eye to due to the fact u can no longer arrest people for simple possesion, since we downgraded cannabis from class b to class c. in short we in britain are starting to realise the benefits of this ancient herb. sadly we are still a long way behind the rest of europe where now some of the countries have almostlegalised it and more still have extreme tolerance zones. so where is the usa up to? i have always seen the usa as draconian in their laws, on a par with singapore and saudi arabia. maybe someone can brring me up to date. thanks in advance

I grow medical marijuana in the US. I have never been harrassed, but I don't flaunt it either. The federal law still prohibits the cultivation of marijuana for any reason, but individual states can issue certificates for medical reasons. This means that each state has different laws, and unfortunately medical marijuana users cannot travel out of state with their medicine legally. As an Oregon Medical Marijuana care provider I can travel anywhere with up to a 1/4 lb. on me at any time.

thanks for the info, maybe the usa is not as backward as i thought with their med pot laws. in fact is further along than britain. a 1/4 pound is a fair old weight, thanx

I herd from a doctor that a person with a perscription for medical marijuana gets 300 joints a month is this true

I have never seen a prescription in the USA for marijuana. Is that what you meant by 'perion'? I have seen recommendations made by medical doctors stating that marijuana may be beneficial for persons suffering from a specific list of ailments, and this is enough for states to issue licences for medical users and their care providers. There is no universal dosage for medical marijuana because it has varied medical uses, and every patient's needs are different. The urban legend you are 'refer'ring to is not based on anything legally stated in anything I've ever read. Honestly, it sounds made up. Smoking that much marijuana could kill you, or at least cause enough brain damage to render you a vegetable.

I had posted a link in this forum (Medical)about Medical MJ on Penn & Teller's show-Bullshit.... The gentleman in the clip is one of the last patients to receive mj from the US government in the form of a prescription. Pres Carter allowed it way back when(1978) & Reagon repealed the practice immediately after being elected(1980), but left those with the prescription alone.... I can't say it was for 300 doobs/mo. but it was a sizable amount. I think the weed wasn't as potent as today-check it out... it existed at one time.

marijuana can't kill anyone. there has never been a reported case. and it can't make u a vegetable. it doesn't even kill brain cells. the only thing that marijuana has been proven to do is effect the short term memory.
i just found a great informative video about the history of cannabis/hemp called Magic Weed: The Story of Cannabis Sativa. it's about 50 minutes long and discusses the use of hemp dating back to 2800 BC (if my memory serves me correctly) to present day.
