THC is the psychoactive substance that causes the high in smokers as you rightly indicated.....which means, THC gets into their body via smoking. Many medical marijuana prescriptions are not oil based and not made into supplements.

Hello, medical marijuana is given to people in different forms. There are many people who need medical marijuana, but do not smoke. How do you think they get access to the THC and CBD in the marijuana? Do they suddenly start learning how to smoke? No! shocked

Doctors may prescribe medical marijuana to treat:

Muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis;
Nausea from cancer chemotherapy;
Poor appetite and weight loss caused by chronic illness, such as HIV, or nerve pain
Seizure disorders;
Crohn's disease;

The FDA has also approved THC, a key ingredient in marijuana, to treat nausea and improve appetite. It's available by prescription Marinol (dronabinol) and Cesamet (nabilone). https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/features/medical-marijuana-uses

Cannabis oil suppositories are also widely used in the US, by patients with tumours etc. Cross Check!

Yo every punk defending this cannabis sh** and quoting me, with your crap from online please, ive heard enough.
A lot of you dont know what it is-its merely here say.

Many of you will never understand shooting a loved one just because you want a shot of crack.
So please. You think its good cos some state or country legalize it? Please, go get some. Enjoy.

Quote me again and you will rot in hell.

This is why you're an ignorant mooron and a waste of time and space. Crack has absolutely nothing to do with marijuana. Like I said, get an education and stop embarrassing yourself proudly displaying your ignorance here.

This post is so full of ignorance, tell me where you got the information that states that marijuana causes insanity over a long period of time.

Complete nonsense of the ignorant.
I will try not to insult you. But next time, before you dabble into what you don't know, make sure you are very sure.

side effects of Taking marijuana are:


1. Temporary memory loss.

2. Lack of coordination.

3. Altered perception of time.

4. Changes in mood.

5. Difficulties thinking or problem solving.

I think you are just shifting the goal post here.

I understand medical marijuana and that it has different forms and also clearly understand FDA approving cannabis for various ailment management. But none of these was the point of our dialogue.

The point I was trying to correct is that THC the psychoactive substance in marijuana is also the medicinal substance. Also that, THC in marijuana is natural and not systemize or processed into the marijuana and as such both normal smokers and those using the medicated products of marijuana get this THC into their body.

The only difference is that, in medicine marijuana, THC is the active ingredient, which means there are other addictive substance in the medicine...it is like licking orange which is a rich source of vitamin C (which is enough to rectify a vitamin C deficiency, if taken consistently) vs taking vitamin C tablets.

You had earlier responded to another poster called Vivere I think, when you made a comment that "medical marijuana prescriptions are not oil based and not made into supplements."

My own response was to show you that Marijuana is widely processed into oil based suppositories, as well as other forms, including synthetic forms such as Marinol (dronabinol) and Cesamet (nabilone). I don't know what point the other guy was trying to make when he made his comments about THC being a psychoactive substance not being deposited in a usable form into smokers. You would have to wait for his response.

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Genesis 1:29 KJV

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Genesis 1:30 KJV

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

The Bible mentions fruits, herbs, and crops. There is no mention of the word 'Hemp" in any of the Bible verses you quoted here. undecided

There are different kinds of herbs in the world. sad Some are good and fit for nutrition, and can even serve medicinal purposes. Others are poisonous or toxic, and capable of endangering the human body. Please be guided and make a careful distinction between both sets of herbs.

Don't quote me erroneously! Where in my post did I say it kills? isn't loss of memory the incipient stage of insanity? You want to sound very smart by debating what is very explicit. There's no glory in that.

The memory loss is temporary just like drinking alcohol can cause temporary memory loss. So are you telling me that if a person drink a few glasses of wine they would lose their sanity?

Stop posting false information. At least try it so that you will know what you are talking about. Marijuana is to be used in moderation just like alcohol. You only believe that marijuana is bad because the white man brainwashed you to believe it.

It has always been known that as soon as America figures out a way to tax marijuana they will legalize it and that's exactly what they did.
In case you didn't know it, marijuana use to be legal in the early 1900 in America until a wealthy man decided that it was cutting into his business and that is when all the false propaganda against marijuana started, to make it illegal.

Hollywood even jumped on the bandwagon and made early films of people taking just one puff/hit of a joint and going completely insane and murdering people and raping women.

I watched some of the movies on the internet and they are hilarious. I am not a smoker, I hate the smell of it but I love it in baked goods(edibles) like cookies, cakes, chocolate candy and even salads. smiley

Ancient Israel used hemp (Marijuana)in other ways besides smoking it, they used it for making medicine, textiles, oils, ropes, incense,and they even used the seeds for food.

I have a bottle of marijuana oil that I bought from the health food store that I use on my skin and in my hair, it can also be used for cooking but I don't use it for that, although it would be interesting to bake some GROWN-FOLKS cookies with it adding the marijuana herb of course. Some say that Isaiah 18:4-5 is talking about the cannabis plant. grin As early as 5000 BC Cannabis was called the JOY PLANT.

Lots of ignorant hypocritical folks on this thread. Marijuana has been sold over the counter in amsterdam for years, how many people have ran mad? why isn't the drug related crime rates burning the roof? Instead the country is experiencing lower crime rates and massive revenues from sales and y'all are here spitting nonsense.

I don't need all of that epistle you have up there. If after the link I posted, you're are still adamant on your position, then fine. It's also dumb for you to tell me to smoke marijuana and see if it causes insanity, that logic alone is ridiculous and wrote you off in this debate. Those who are wont to taking marijuana anf have made it addictive stand a risk of insanity according my little research. I know the herb is medicinal and has other vital uses, I just gave one of the negative sides of the cannabis. We agree to disagree. Don't quote me again. There's no point dragging it on and on.
