Shame On 60 Minutes

[OwlintheNight]

we are not criminals

[Kingdiamond]

I saw it  was pure garbage propaganda plain and simple.

[bax]

oh i heard a clip on cbs radio this morning. it sounded pretty retarded. some doctor talking about how having individual doses on brownies was such an amazing idea.

[Restorium2]

I do see the problem with gummy bears made containing THC laying around for kids to eat. One of my dogs ate some left overs from a vaporizer and he was all woozy and I felt pretty bad. We have to try to avoid that the best we can. People need to avoid it just like you keep other things away from your kids. But it's just parenting, we don't need any new laws, just good info and parenting skills.

yes treat it like it is a loaded gun and no one gets access to it but you/me!

 

If you are a good parent there is never a reason for anything mmj being left out for all to see, I dont keep my narcotics out where the world can see it, I never smoke and drive, the only time I ever have mm in my vehicle is when I go pick it up or if I go away for the weekend, and I put it in a locked box, even though just a box is good enough, I do the lock any how!

 

I aways check all of my lights, blinkers, break lights, even liscense plate lights, dont give leo a reason to pull you over,  dont give leo a chance to visit you at your home becuase kids got a hold of your mm or medibles!  Just dont do it!

 

Now I have to quit smoking tobaco, it is killing me and im finaly relizing it, im trying them stupid e-cigs, I dont like them, I did try a patches a few yrs ago, my dr. gave me some for free, when I went to fill a prescription or just buy them they cost to much for me at the time,,,,,,,I guess if I spend it and it does the job it will be worth it in the long run,,,,,,,any one have any idea's,  How did you quit smoking tobaco?

 

Peace

if you can swing the side effects, or are one of those ppl that dont get them. Chantix does work, my mom and wife both used it to help them quit. Both of them only reported VERY vivid dreams, and i know what they mean. I tried it years ago, i didnt really want to quit, so it didnt work...but them dreams...they are in a category all by themselves.

[beourbud]

No, it's not like a gun.

 

Be responsible.

[trichcycler]

I agree, put it away.

 

but my parents hid very little from me. I regularly saw pills, loaded guns, cannabis, and syringes left in the open.

I didnt use any of these except the guns, we had a mock indoor gun range in the basement, I was well trained on targets.

Often instinctualy  I'd hide the contraband when someone approached the door. My parents mused at that for years. There was a loaded gun behind some

doors in my house growing up, in the drawers, on the wall, in the wall too.

I never ate anything I wasnt supposed to, or stuck a needle into someone, or shot anyone on accident, I knew better somehow.

 

according to the news kids just dont know any better any more. I bet theres lots of them that are very responsible in these areas, we dont hear about them.

my wife quit a pack a day/20 year habit cold turkey, never looked back, no experimental psychotropic drugs, or their undesired effects,, it can be done I've seen it !

Seems about equal to me, the people I know using drugs to stop smoking, some quit while using, some do not. Anyone know if home grown organic tobacco causes addiction?

[phaquetoo]

No, it's not like a gun.

 

Be responsible.

I keep my meds and guns where no one can see or get to them but me!

 

Peace

I do not watch television so... I have no clue what was said on 60 Minutes.

A link would have been helpful.

I have spoken with many mothers who hid their cannabis from their children

and kept the 'safe' pharmaceuticals in the medicine cabinet.  These children

stole the easily accessible pharmas and now are battling opiate addiction.

Unfortunately one of these children is my nephew.

 

We (collectively) MUST end the war on drugs (cannabis).

I was a pack a day smoker for over 45 years, about one and one half years ago I was sleeping on my back and realized I could not get a deep breath of air( even though I was an avid cross country skier, trying to fight off trhe effects of smoking, I suppose.) Anyway I put the tobacco down and have not looked back, wish I would have done it years ago, it did help that the wife quit at the same time, some support, the wife was trying to figure out how to make a nicotine pacifier :>)

I think you have to really , really want to quit. When every puff on the cig reminds you of everyone who died before you because of this noxious plant, when every puff on the cig makes you feel the damage it is doing to your body each second it is in your body, you become sick of smoking. I was prescribed Welbutrin for my mood a few years ago and I was always making half-hearted attempts to quit smoking, but that Welbutrin really put me off the cigs after a couple weeks of taking it. I have still stolen an occasional cig here and there over the last 7 years, but each time, I put it out after a pull or two and wonder why the hell I am doing this!

be a quitter already man, stick around, we love you.

 

The year before my wife quit(20yrs ago ish) I asked my doctor which drug has been the most help for patients, he said zyban/wellbutrin. I bit. I read the pamphlet and followed it, the pills made me feel and act abnormally and I knew it. I stuck with it because I actually was well aware of the drugs action and somehow it was "working" with me. For two weeks I battled with the pill, not the cessation, I was down to a cigarette a day, smoked at once but the pills were going to kill me or someone else maybe. I stopped the pills and my marlboro romance for good on my two week course of wellbutrin. I never looked back, and admit my cannabis use increased. I know that I can never begin smoking cigs again.....because the only thing that I found to help me quit were those pills, and those were going to be the death of me. I'm skeered of those pills, I dont desire a cigarette because I relate them to the way those pills made me feel and think.

 

reminds me of a stephen king short, something about smokers inc. they beat up your kids every time you sneak a smoke, until the characters finally quit, seeing their family literally ripped apart.  I look at a pack of marlboro's and see this

 

   and that scares the chit out of me

Try to stay away from mainstream media. Look to something more realistic, like Grimm's Fairy Tales.
