The BULLSHITTERS are laying it on thick at the Miami Herald

5. I live in Colorado and have held a red card for 6 years..

I'm lucky. I don't have MS, cancer, epilepsy, or any of the other debilitating diseases people are coming here for. I am just a 66 year old pot smoker who uses it for all the aches and pains and sleeplessness that go along with life.
My MM doc recommends smoking vapor or edibles, but then says there is absolutely no evidence of any relationship between smoking pot and lung cancer. He's happy that I quit perfectly legal and lethal cigarettes 10 years ago and has advised me about alcohol and pain killer abuse, since those are also legal but lethal.

How's Colorado doing? Just fine, thanks! We've had a flurry of negative news reports about edibles. A kid jumped off a balcony after eating a cookie and a man shot his wife after eating candy. And then there's the idiot, Maureen Dowd. Of course, those are the headlines. The real truth never seems to follow. I do have an issue with those who think they can make extract without taking proper safety precautions, causing fires, but still not any where near as prevalent as the death and destruction caused by drunk driving. Those of us who have always used pot know the truth as we watch friends die after years of alcohol or pharmaceutical use.
