"what a payoff: since the tax was enacted in 2004 it has netted Tennessee $3.5 million in extra revenue, 75% of which goes directly to the enforcement agencies that carry out the drug busts."

So, people are actually PAYING?!??!

I'm gonna go out on a limb, and assume that it's IN ADDITION TO the personal property that was seized by the state as well....nice.

Never mind the folks starving and cold there. :roll: :???:

Not to mention those that can't afford a nice bag of weed.

I said it before pot won't ever become legal well maybe not ever but for now the rx companys will loose to much money. There is a new drug that would help me CT-3 but the FDA hasn't yet approved it. I wish I could just
light up but due to my job I can't. I take vicodin everyday for pain and it isn't good for my liver, kidneys, stomach etc. CT-3 has no known side effects and all the studies are complete...what are they waiting for?
Mairnol is the only one in this country that you can get with a prescription but it is for cancer and aids. They even found that pot has some antioxidents in it, go figure. I use to smoke it for the high but now need it for pain management and can't it is a travisty that I have to mess up my body with other pain meds. I know it works because I tried it for pain not only does it work for the pain but gets me up and moving, interested in life more, but what do I know.

Even Steven Covey agrees with you, Me. He's a big advocate of more easily attainable medicinal Marijuana because he knows so many people in your situation.

Thanks, Elfdude!

I am going to the doctor today, going to talk to him about it. I don't think it is going to do any good, just another voice.

I know a guy that had a scrip out here for weed for pain control, but he let it lapse and just grows his own now. Makes his wife worry about gedding busted and what will happen to her if they do ged busted as a she is a school teacher.

Even if she dummies up, she will have trouble because of it though.

true...they're still coming in with a warrant, and someone's still going to jail.
