"And that was exactly the point I was trying to make. You were not only using it, you were growing it."
So...that's somehow worse?!  How else will I be able to use it, buy it? Are you suggesting that drug dealing is better? I know you're not because that'd of course be rediculous. I've been to a doctor and tried them all for my condition, prozac, paxil, wellbutrin and most of the rest. They either have real aweful side effects or simply don't work or both.
Please don't hate me because I've found something that makes my life better. Thank you

Now, Ben, I didn't say I hated you. I was just trying to be helpful. Is it better to try to find a legal cure, or lose everything you have gambling you can get away something illegal?

The point is... that it's not right that I should have to make that choice. It's not my fault I have this condition and also not my fault that cannabis, God bless, is the only thing that works. I didn't make the rules, I'm only playing the cards I've been dealt the best I can.

From Trib 11-11-04
| Quote | Editorial: Smoking ban could become a reality statewide
With a new legislature, Gov. Tim Pawlenty is seeing a spark of hope for passage of a statewide smoking ban.
The Nov. 2 election replaced 13 Republican incumbents from the House with DFL candidates, creating a nearly-even split between the two branches of government.
Pawlenty would support a smoking ban in public places, he said, should such a bill reach his desk. With the previous legislature, he didn't believe a bill was possible.
According to Dean Johnson, Senate Majority Leader, most businesses favor a statewide ban over local or regional ones.
Whether he is accurate in his assessment or not, a smoking ban appears destined in Minnesota.
The health risks of second-hand smoke is evident: we doubt most smokers will argue them. But the issue erodes what many smokers believe is their "right" to smoke. The two sides have previously lined up facing each other, ready to do battle and we don't see anything changing: The issue is divisive.
Somehow, the legislature, should the topic come up this session, must find a happy-medium which addresses the health risk while leaving smokers' rights intact.
Smokers and non-smokers must also keep their emotions in check as this debate continues because no good will come from a state divided. |
The election is over, and this topic always spiked interest among the members here, so let the comments fly. I was against a ban 2 months ago, now I could care less, just leave my filthy, no good, good time, pull tabbing, 5 buck a pack watering holes out of it. And if smoking is banned in restaurants, cell phones should be too. Or at least put in a cell-phone section. (Good evening sir, will it be cell phoning or non cell-phoning for you and your guests tonight?)
If there is a statewide ban implemented, you can still go to the injun casinos and puff away. Just think 10 or so years ago the teachers could smoke in the teacher lounges if they felt up to it.
If a smoking ban goes into effect along with the .08 law in August I really hope all the local bars can stay in business, could be a good time to buy a liquor store.

I read in the Star Tribune today that some guy in the cities wants to get a ban on leaf blowers.
What is it with people that makes them think they know what is best for all others?
I have never smoked, but I could care less if anyone else does.
If its to smokey in a bar, DONT GO THERE!
This isnt about people worrying about others health.
This is about people wanting to impose their will, the way they want the world to be, ON OTHERS.
To me, its like the idiots that try to get radio shows or TV shows banned or taken off the air because they dont like it.
TURN THE STATION YOU IDIOT! 
Same with this smoking ban. Why should people that have no financial interest in a business be able to tell a bar owner that his customers cant smoke? On his property?
Just another intrusion of our rights.
By the way, the dumb@ss in the cities that is mad about people using leaf blowers?
He doesnt want to stop there, he wants all outdoor power tools banned in his neighborhood.
Gas powered mowers, gas powered snowblowers.
Thats why even if you dont smoke, you have to fight these idiots that want to chip away at our freedoms.
And again, before you come in here and say something stupid about second hand smoke.
If you dont like it where people smoke.
THEN DONT GO THERE!
Pretty simple, but stupid people will argue with it anyway.

Having said that, I would support a ban at the work place. But only indoors.
People dont have the choice to stay or leave.
Any outdoor smoking ban, is just plain stupid.
Again, others imposing their view of the world on all others.
What arrogance!
