1. More of a reason this should be legal for all.

You can get allergy medicine with pseudophedrine in it which is the main ingredient in Meth over the counter, you can buy many substances legally which can kill yet this very helpful plant is illegal. All about money but not at the same time.

2. It's dangerous, it makes you think.

3. Seems to me a person can think without inhaling smoke

9. Sure, but you get a different perspective because defenses are eased allowing

for different ways of seeing things. Let's take jazz as an example. Before having a deep listen under cannabis, it was music well played, but you never really "understood" it. On cannabis you can have actual physical reactions to how they mess with time, how the tones are layered. Where you tried to understand jazz intellectually, you now see that understanding jazz needs involvement with the body.

Going forward, cannabis is not needed because you gained an insight into jazz and art in general. You no longer look at it on just an intellectual level, you pay attention to the visceral reaction.

Habitual use dilutes the benefits. It is best to use it as a teaching medium, then move on applying what you learned.

4. Yeah it makes you think

It makes you think about scoring more weed.

10. You're projecting.

5. Valium would do a better job

Knock him right out so they don't have to deal with it.

6. You obviously have never tried to "sedate" a kid with autism

7. My darling

It is pointless to argue with fools.

8. Idiotic and uninformed statement (nm)

11. That's more for the benefit of the parents, not the kid.

12. I'm not saying I agree but look at all the psychotropic pharmaceuticals

they have some of these kids on. My son is autistic and luckily he has a mild form so the only therapy I have tried with him is behavioral. When I read some of the pharmaceutical drugs they give some of these autistic kids I couldn't believe it. I think all medications that could be potentially harmful to kids should be studied thoroughly to make sure they are safe.

13. Any kind of drug should be a last resort.
