Most Kansans OK with medicinal marijuanaBy David Martin, Tuesday, Feb. 9 2010 @ 6:00AM Comments (6)Categories: Follow That Story, Politics
A state lawmaker from Olathe
recently made a feeble Doritos crack
in attempt to belittle legislation that
would allow the chronically ill to
obtain marijuana by a prescription.
Turns out, the jokeman, state Rep.
Scott Schwab, is out of step with
most Kansans.
Legalizing the use of marijuana for
medicinal purposes has 58 percent
support, according to a recent poll of
500 adults. SurveyUSA conducted the poll on behalf of Wichita TV station KWCH.
State Rep. Gail Finney of Wichita introduced a bill in Topeka authorizing
"compassionate care centers" where Kansas-grown pot would be dispensed on physicians'
orders. Finney has lupus, a condition that makes her sympathetic to those coping with
illness. "There are people that silently use marijuana for their pain and for their comfort
and I don't think they should be penalized for it," she told KSN-T V in Wichita.
Medicinal marijuana is legal in 14 states.

How many years of experience and/or advanced degrees do you have to back up your
claims that contradict leading Science Journals, Dr.’s and Science Professionals who
are in fact more qualified to comment as to whether Marijuana can ease Pain or not?
Are you familiar with the side effects of Chemotherapy? Have you or has anyone close
to ever undergone an aggressive Chemotherapy treatment?

Did you know that that the American Medical Association urges more research and
development?
Rep. Scott Schwab: Don’t be so ignorant and sound so foolish with regard to something
as serious as Medical Marijuana’s effectiveness!
Shame on you Scott Schwab!

Pot's just not the devil Schwab's daddy must have told him it is.
Though for medical uses, unfortunately, it has it's limits.

I support the legalization of marijuana for recreational as well as medical use, but I just
wanted to say damn George Costanza for forever making lupus a funny disease.

Who wants SCHWAB / THE SAME? no one says:
I am now currently making a screw schwab facebook page because of his childlike
complete one sided conservative comment that offended millions of people across our
once beloved USA (that many of us literally kill and fight for). His original comment i
beleive was "It (medicinal cannabis) has no benefit for pain management. All it does is
make you crave another bag of chips" Well, way to completey blow off terminally ill and
hurting U.S. citizens scott that have chose and will continue to choose despite your
ignorance a natural medicine vs a synthetic physically and phsycologicaly addictive
opiad pain killer or alprozolam ect. No one would care if you gave a legitimate reason
as to why cannabis should not be legalized for medicinal use. If only you took the
advice and left it but no you decided to literally poke fun at serious issues that
obviously dont need your "knowledge" or input. scott just doenst understand i guess
hes never been in a situation where he might have to listen to someone else like 60
percent of the USA. OH YEA, GET A KICK OUT OF THIS. HE WORKS FOR THE
PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES LOL THAT IS SO HILARIOUS. SCOTT YOU ARE A
FUNNY GUY. SHADY SCAM ARTIST'S THESE DAYS....

well another legal drugpusher trying to push there drugs on us. pretty sad that the pills
they want you to take have more side-effects than what your problem is. just like all the
mexicans coming over the border to grow legalize it and it wont happen anymore. some
of the laws in this country are stupid. another problem is heathcare reform. i dont have
a job how am i suppose to pay for. this country went to hell in a handbasket. i have
hep.c and i have seisures taking those so call pills that help kill my liver. maybe one of
these days somebody will pull the head out of there ( well) have a great day.
