I think in 3 years, marijuana will be legal in Illinois. It passed a Cook County experimental vote with almost 75%. Pritzker will be the new Illinois governor in the fall and he wants to legalize it. Not on the ballot this fall but probably the next election and it will pass, especially if they use taxes from sales of marijuana to bring down Illinois debt.

Rocket, because there are more potheads claiming miracle cures now than we had patent medicine hawkers back in the day.
If you want to get stoned, I say have at it, just don't try and bs us about how good it is for you.

The main problem with marijuana being legal in some states, is the "smuggling" of it to non-legal states.
Colorado marijuana and related products is readily available here in Illinois. You can easily drive to Colorado, purchase marijuana products and come back. It's very profitable because you can triple your money in a short time.
I believe marijuana products do offer health benefits and as the legal issues go away, more medical research will be done.
CBD oil is legal here and I do have friends who use it INSTEAD of pills prescribed by doctors.

It must be good for you, otherwise people wouldn’t inhale it so much? 😬

Sigh. There’s a huge difference between smoking marijuana for recreational high, and using CBD oil for medical use. Why would anyone want to deny a person that is suffering from debilitating medical issues a chance at seeing any amount of improvement in their daily life??

Why would anyone want to deny a person that is suffering from debilitating medical issues a chance at seeing any amount of improvement in their daily life?? Several places here in Streator now offer CBD for sale. I don't think Walmart has it on their shelves yet, but you can order it online for store pickup. I do know a few people using CBD for health issues they have. Some swear by it and others don't notice a difference.

I’m talking the pro stoner folks who want to escape themselves. Medical is a different situation. What bothers me is the promotion that regular use is a great thing?

Some studies have shown marijuana use is actually good for you. Of course smoking it old school way probably doesn't help your lungs, but there are many ways to use it now that don't harm you lungs. I have worked with people who I do believe it helped them. Sometimes it helped them work better and others put them in a better mood to be around. As for driving on it, I saw a video where it was done on a closed track and people on marijuana actually drove better on small amounts of marijuana vs sober. They even had law enforcement officers there and they couldn't believe it. One of the people giving the test said that they thought people on small amounts of marijuana were driving more cautious because of knowing they had ingested the marijuana. They then took more marijuana two more times, driving again after each time and skill levels did go down. Short version of the video- www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw1HavgoK9E

It wasn't because of what you said, it was the certainty of this statement > "Pritzker will be the new Illinois governor in the fall." I found it funny since election results have un-expected outcomes. I believe I did "Like" your post, didn't I? Ahem Sniper ... the children being helped w/fewer seizures sure aren't pot heads. In fact that's why Miss. fast-tracked making Med. MJ legal, for them. (Off the top of my head, there may have been more states to.) It also may soon become a law that Drs. will bw able to prescribe Med. MJ to help w/Heroine addition. It's far less harmful & less deaths.

It also may soon become a law that Drs. will bw able to prescribe Med. MJ to help w/Heroine addition. It's far less harmful & less deaths. I said I believe Pritzker will be governor. Yes, I do know no one has voted yet, unless you take into consideration what happened in the primaries and I believe it was important. Rauner will lose as he barely beat Ives in primary. Rauner hasn't done anything while governor. 1)Hasn't come up with a solution for pension problem. 2)Taxes were raised under his watch. 3)The Veteran's home scandal. 4)His supporting planned parenthood because of his wife and signing the bill. Because of these things, I believe he stands no chance of being re-elected for a 2nd term. I know he has lost my vote. I will not vote for any governor this fall or vote in the local US Rep race. Kinzinger doesn't get my vote. I'd rather not vote for bad candidates. As for the potheads, they will know Pritzker is pro-legalization and Rauner is against it, so more votes for Pritzker.

(Off the top of my head, there may have been more states to.) I made no such statement that they were. If you know me at all, you know I am of the firm belief that the Government has no d**n business telling anyone what they can or can't smoke. That being said, if you follow this issue, it isn't the children who are sh!tting themselves about how wonderful an addiction is, any more than it is kids who speak of the wonders of barley pops. Bottom line, if you are an adult, you should be responsible for running your life as you see fit and living with the natural consequences.
