RCMP Corporal thinks he should be allowed to smoke pot while in uniform

I understand that part of the argument Malthus.  My point is there is no way for a third party to determine the legitimacy of the treatment.

Not being a doc, I have no idea whether this is true or not. If you are right, insurers are in for a rough ride, once people start "un-disproveably" claiming disability on this basis, and settling down to a life of smoking dope on their dime. 

that would be the same as burn out or other mental diseases, they are hard to prove or disprove.  I guess they require more than one exam before granting benefits.

I've successfully used dry mint leaves (the kind you get at the grocery store) in brownie recipes before, dunno why you couldn't do that with dried pot leaves.

Its not about the taste    and I am pretty sure your dry mint leaves also had a low THC content after being baked...

Do they let cops get medicinally drunk on the job?

[jimmy olsen]

That doesn't answer Iorm's question though as to why the guy just doesn't take THC pills or injections.

How many injections would he have to take in a day?  What are the potential adverse reactions from injecting oneself so many times?

Is there such a thing as "THC pills"?  I dont think so.  If there were that would solve a lot of problems around the issue of the government only allowing pot in dried form atm.

Lastly, if you are in agreement that "THC pills" are ok.  Why not THC brownies?

They gave me an artificial THC pill in the hospital back in 2002 for chemo induced naseau. Sent me over the Moon and I hated every minute of it. Only took it that one time. Why couldn't they make a real THC pill?

If I recall correctly, THC pills have long been available, but the medical marijuana activists always claimed it didn't work the same way.

Yes, an alternative like Marinol has been around for ages, but nobody likes the side effects--namely, it doesn't get you stoned out of your gourd like a Jamaican musician. 
That's why the "medical marijuana" people are so full of shit.  They're not about THC, they're about sucking on honey bear bongs.  Bullshit hippie fucktards.

You realize, seeds, that you are on the losing end of that fight.

[Iormlund]

And rightfully so.

People should get to decide if they want to get high. The state should only object if they are undertaking activities where this would affect others (second hand smoke) or pose a safety hazard (driving, carrying a gun, handling dangerous machinery, etc).

Then Medical MaryJane activists should be honest about what they're actually after.

Yeah, like I thought, there is no such thing as a THC pill.

Do doctors in your neck of the woods prescribe a lot of whiskey?

[derspiess]

Whiskey is a fine medicine

Concur. I can't seem to find a sawbones who'll prescribe it for me though

[The Brain]

The only thing odd is that the organization's drug and alcohol policy lets people work while on drugs.

I know a guy.
