- Cannabis has no medical uses that can't be done by prescribing wheelbarrows and wheelbarrows of opiates*
- Hey now, alcohol is an effective antiseptic. That’s pretty clearly a medical use.
Says the minister/Senator who is not a doctor. A politician from the side of COVID denial. Just go back and look what his party DOES see as accepted medical use. Straight up encouraging poisoning people. This guy should have taken some of his own medicine.
What a moron. I cannot fathom a reason in this day and age to have anything be schedule 1. Especially something that didn’t graduate through the schedules getting eliminated as ineffective and harmful.
- Well the prison, pharma and alcohol lobbies think it's harmful so it'll stay the way it is.
- That's because you're not getting paid by lobbyists to lie
Ah, Senator Lankford. He ran a church camp for children for many years called Falls Creek and preached there often. I've actually shaken his hand twice, both before and after he became Senator. He's a dyed in the wool Christian and governs like it. This is also the same Senator who cowrote the bipartisan border bill that was tanked by Trump some months ago. To be clear, I'm not a fan. Just not surprised by this stance at all and figured some folks might like context.

  Please tell me you stinkpalmed him.
  
  The first time, I was unfortunately still deep in the cult. I was on his side and then some. I was actually attending Falls Creek at the time. The second time, I met him in the Capitol as part of a large group and got to ask a few questions. Just wasn't an appropriate venue to air grievances given the context, which I'd rather not share too much about to avoid identifying myself. I was also only just barely getting out of the other side of my Christianity, so still did not have the faculties about me to even pinpoint my own grievances.
Nice try OP, but I'm not clicking on that Rickroll link.
Sounds like republican reasoning to me.
I cast excruciating pain.
- I cast Testicular Torsion!
Falls Creek Skeletor can eat shit.
Let me guess, the accounting for "hard data and science" gets dropped real fast when we ask for justifications for it remaining illegal.
Thoughts and prayers.
