Answer 1

Answer 2

Heroin will make those human beings's discomfort greater bearable too, being an opiate, yet that would not recommend it is going to likely be legalised. the government would not ban issues that it may desire to probably tax merely because of the fact it appears like it. there is an extremely good reason hashish is against the regulation, and that's because of the fact it rather is risky. It impacts human beings's skills to choose disadvantages and make judgements, and decreases reaction circumstances. it could influence your memory, and alter your blood rigidity and strengthen your coronary heart fee. At extreme doses it may desire to reason hallucinations, memory loss and delusions. It has additionally been shown to inhibit your physique's immune device - in case you have a protracted term ailment, battling your immune device from working exact is going to do far greater injury than the best of a touch discomfort alleviation. hashish additionally has a tendency to have greater carcinogenic textile in it than standard tobacco, so which you're additionally taking an greater effective possibility of maximum cancers. If it replaced into judged on the comparable point as pharmaceutical drugs, it would not settle for a license on the industry. it is likewise way harder to regulate somebody's use than different drugs, as that's grown from abode and dosage ranges may well be harder to computer screen. the hazards outweigh the potential reward - that's why that's against the regulation.

Answer 3

Cannabis is still the only treatment for glaucoma. What a choice, smoke or go blind, what would all the puritans choose?
My gran died of bowel cancer, its very painful and makes you nauseous. So she just lost weight and was 4 1/2 stone when she died. The morphine made her trip. We's have to sit with her and listen to her talk garbage and just nod and smile. She kept mistaking me for her daughter.
In some places you can get it for pain relief as a pill. They make a lot of money out of it considering how easy it is to grow.

I'd like to know how come its ok to give an old lady heroin - oops, I mean morphine - but not cannabis?

Answer 4

If Doctors could perscribe Cannabis for pain relief it would solve a lot of problems. Those in so much pain could then
get releif without breaking the law and chemists would only supply the correct type and dosage. I think in this instant the law should be changed, so that those needing it would just get a legal perscription. Morphine is a perscription drug which is widely use to control pain why not Cannabis, both in the wrong hands are dangerous.

Answer 5

If it was for pain relief then no, the government should know by now how cannabis can help people in pain and should of come up with something to enable people in pain to take it legally. If it helps relieve pain, is it really any different from any other kind of pain relief? I don't think so. Perhaps if its being smoked then its not that great for their lungs, but it can be eaten I suppose. If the government done something they could perhaps put it into a form which is less damaging to health. Im suprised the money grabing pharmacetecal companies havn't come up with something yet actually.

Answer 6

If you are in severe pain then you will take anything to relieve it, legal or illegal, all she is doing is trying to live her last years on this earth pain free and helping others in the same situation with the same benefits....... IF she is not overcharging.

Unfortunately the law is that it is illegal to grow, possess or supply and she did all three.

The Lady supplying chocolate bars laced with cannabis said she sold 70,000 bars last year even if she charged only £10.0 a bar that is £700,000 which she did not pay tax on, a nice little earner M.S or not, although helping others she is helping herself very nicely.

Amsterdam style cafes' would be the answer with perhaps an eighth allowed for personal.

Answer 7

Absolutely not. Seems to me that most of those who are against marijuana for pain relief have NEVER had chronic pain. Most doctors act as though chronic pain is in your head and rarely are they willing to help. So people should be allowed to ease their own suffering. Wouldn't this be considered a basic human right? Also, think of the side affects of prescription pain medication, it tears you apart. If it were my granny, I'd rather have her smoke a little stuff than tear up her body with vicodin, morphine, percocet etc.

Answer 8

What about all the legal prescribed drugs our government have allowed doctors to pump down our throats for years only to find that now we have to live knowing that we could have helped cancer along ,
If a person is in pain then that person has the right to ease it in the way best for them. our body is the one thing on this forsaken planet that we can say we own, what we do with it is our choice.as long as no one else is affected then good luck to her.

Answer 9

Oh-the medical marijuana question. It's close to passing my legislature this week and the Governor says he'll sign it. I can only tell you it gave a family member dying of ovarian cancer a tolerable death. She was able to eat and it made her relax and more mobile. Morphine made her nearly comatose. Ovarian cancer is one of the very painful cancers and marijuana was a great relief to her---and no, I don't know where she got it.

Answer 10

What they need is new laws so that these kind of situations can be done proper;y with control. If you could get cannabis with a perscription then you wouldn't need to 'supply' it to others or have to go to 'dealers' to get it. It could be closely monitored. I think it is stupid that the government denies people who are in a great deal of pain something that will help it!

Answer 11

I don't think a person should be prosecuted for "intent" unless it's a capital crime (like murder).
Unless they're caught on the way to the bank with a gun, a mask, and a note saying "Be quiet and give me your money." Then it's pretty obvious what they were intending to do.
