I leave the country for six weeks and this thread still hasn't hit 100 pages... and RWHN left

Was checking PMs.  (Thanks for the support guys!)  Couldn't resist the Monkey urge to leave this little nugget I found on Cracked.

Anyhoo, I'm sure I'll be back at some point.  Hotel California and all that. 

But I'm vamoosing for awhile.  But because I'm sure someone will notice and say, yeah, I'll probably lurk here and there. 

Trip Zero's a mighty good punner and I can't resist a good pun. 

Eris-speed to everyone!

That's a great article.

I hope I haven't come off in this thread like I don't like you, RWHN. People keep asking me how it's possible that I know a Discordian Reverend who works in Substance Abuse Prevention(like it's some deep contradiction or something), and you've given enough tools and info to blow their head open a bit about the subject. Plus, your one of the best punners I've ever known 

Glad to hear you'll be lurking around.

Sorry if my last post was a bit harsh, RWHN. It's just that that argument always makes my eye twitch for about a week every time I hear it.

Oh, and they ALL smoke cigarettes... except the pot smokers. A few pot smokers I have known will smoke tobacco, but most of them haven't, and a lot of them think it's really gross, damaging, and addictive.

Yeah, although tobacco is more addicting, and I've smoked for over 30 years, I've never found myself on my knees in shop doorways sucking old men off for cigarette money.

Well what were you doing it for then? Just to see how the other half live?

Don't fret. He's made it quite clear that he's leaving because some of the people like me. Even though I am sure there are an equal number who would as soon tar and feather me.

Can't we all just hit a bong?

Well I am all for that idea...but only if we all throw into a community mull bowl....it's way too  expensive for me to be opening up my stash to all comers.

Feds Decree Marijuana Has No Medical Purpose and Crack Down on Enforcement
Submitted by Stacey Doyle on 2011-07-09

Supporters of medical marijuana requested the government reclassify cannabis nine years ago. The request followed international research revealing the effectiveness of marijuana at treating certain diseases such as multiple sclerosis. The National Cancer Institute found marijuana may help with pain, nausea and other cancer symptoms.

The Obama administration made it possible for advocates to appeal to the federal courts. Now the United States Drug Enforcement Administration denied supporters' request to reclassify marijuana. Just two months earlier, cannabis advocates asked the U.S. Court of Appeals to compel the DEA to respond to their petition.

The LA Times reports Joe Elford, the chief counsel for Americans for Safe Access and lead attorney on the lawsuit, was not surprised by the government decision. Elford stated, "We have foiled the government's strategy of delay, and we can now go head-to-head on the merits. It is clearly motivated by a political decision that is anti-marijuana."

Michele M. Leonhart, DEA administrator, stated in a June 21 letter that cannabis has "a high potential for abuse" and "no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States." She further stated marijuana lacks the accepted safety to use under medical supervision. The letter and supporting documents were published in the Federal Register on Friday.

Considering that this entire subject will be almost completely one sided now that RWHN is gone, how about giving it a rest?

Or is this a victory lap kind of thing for you?

There was a period where the thread was just links that Telarus threw up, without any debate.  I think he's just going back to that model.

I still appreciate them as a keeping informed sort of thing.  Doesn't mean the thread needs to turn into a "weed is good, durrrr" circle jerk.
