Ritialin is crap and I think if a Dr feels that a child would benefit, I'm for it. One thing I know for sure....it will NEVER be totally legalized without regulation...I just want a voice in those regulations! In fact, if they legalized it...I would have no problems with them taxing it! In fact, I have no issue with a "sin" tax, if they would use that money for education...our educational system in this country really needs help! It's too bad that some folks want to stand on their unrealistic soapbox and preach a message that will never happen -- I guess I am to much of a realist.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, there is so much to learn about cannabis, the people that use cannabis, and the business of cannabis that it is uncharted territory, and in a way, it's like space travel. Now we're pretty new to blasting out into space and traveling around and building things like space stations and such, but do you see the budding industry being regulated from its very inception? You can't tell me how deadly dangerous it is to leave our atmosphere, and now people are starting commercial space flights (see Virgin) this year--none of this would be happening if space travel were regulated before we even start traveling. Same with cannabis. We need to step back, let the budding industry bloom, and only then, IF it is necessary, intelligently regulate where we find problem areas that need guidance. It's the only logical and sane way to proceed...The blind cannot lead!
And so, left in the limbo of Prohibition, this poor high school coach and teacher and highly respected individual that has given so much to so many over his years of service is now viewed as a criminal for medicating on school grounds. And that is acceptable?
Simply put, it is not. Not in a million years....
