Interesting approach to the blogosphere – got stood up
from the Boulder Daily Camera
I didn’t know we even had such a store here – although it sure does make sense as every resident is automatically given a medical marijuana certificate by their doctor.
So, I don’t know if you are joking or not Here in Denver, medical opinion is that marijuana would be helpful; but, the law was so jumbled, we just let it alone.
We’d take a chance and go to Boulder….(although with the walker, we might not even be allowed through the security check)….if there really was a shot at getting a medical certificate..
Don’t tell me Mesa County is ahead of the curve on MM.
Needing medical marijuana is no joke – it’s a clear necessity. But a story of MM being stolen in Boulder… that just calls for some humorous response.
When I stopped laughing, I thought…hell…maybe it is not a joke!
What did you find funny about the situation, just out of curiosity? (The thieves weren’t from Boulder, it turns out.)
Glad to hear that Marinol helped you. It’s said, though, that a lot of cancer and AIDS patients undergoing chemotherapy don’t like the way that Marinol, a pharmaceutical THC pill, makes them feel. Too heavy. Through smoking marijuana, patients are better able to titrate their dosage — rather than getting walloped all at once by Marinol. And marijuana has other active constituents which are helpful besides just THC.
It’s not like medical marijuana dispensaries are the only targets for crime, though: regular pharmacies certainly are. Check out this report on a pistol-packing pharmacist in Seattle:

Brian Vicente, who runs Sensible Colorado, is an attorney in Denver.
Heard this a few days ago on the radio.
When his attorney points out to the judge the new Obama policy of not prosecuting MM projects that comply with state laws, the judge said, “I don’t care.”
Hmmmmm……… Appeals case anyone?

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) voted FOR the latest war funding bill.

The breaking news:
10 large US banks to repay $68B in TARP funds
WASHINGTON (AP) – Ten large U.S. banks planned to repay about $68 billion in bailout money Wednesday, marking a new phase for the most visible government effort to relieve the credit crisis.
The Treasury Department last week said the banks could begin repaying money they received last fall under the $700 billion financial system bailout known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.

So, what happens to the loud-mouth Asshats on the Right who have been hooting and shrieking about “Government-Owned Banks?”
I’m pretty sure that the latest moves by the Prez forced these Corporate Welfare Deadbeats to find a way to pay off the money sooner rather than later. If this keeps up, the Fed just might make a profit, based on the amount the Banks have to pay to tear up their warrants…
Same think that happens to self-proclaimed “Pro-Family” republicans that are exposed as having cheated on their wives…nothing.
.
doesn’t having 2 families and 2 wives make him even more “pro-family” than you or me ?
.
That was another Republican politician. Ensign just had an affair.
but not if it is someone else’s spouse…then it is a net equal….you still only have two families they are just sharing the sex part.
.
If I knew more about computers, I’d remove it.

Wait, so Obama was supposed to have slit the fly’s throat before he ate it?
If that isn’t a joke post (I didn’t read the link, it could be to The Onion), then I bet PETA was having a laugh to get their name in the news.
