Silver is one of the best and safest germ killers known to mankind.
    This can't be true, because Monsanto has all kinds of crazy patent on alfalfa and other vegetables. I think copper is right up there with silver for being a natural bacteria killer. I guess they want to put all copper door handles in hospitals because of that. The grungier the better even.

    one of the biggest obstacles is the fed.gov them self. IF a national decriminalization were to actually happen, it would show the .gov's error in the war on drugs, allowing millions (yes millions) of people to seek restitution for false imprisonment. Combine that with the folks who grow in their homes for private use and you have a business that no corp could file an injunction against for (whats the word?) corporate espionage?. How do you file an injunction or lawsuit alleging someone stole their idea for mj?
    "Your Honor Evil CORP. Will show the defendant willing grew Marijuana using our grow process. By doing this they admit their use of our MJ growing patent".. They would not make it to court with out becoming the laughing stock of America.

    It's the money. Too many people are making BIG bucks from it being illegal. Both the law enforcement side and the illegal manufacturers and distributer make a lot of money. The asset forfeiture laws make a lot of money for local and national governments. Corruption is big money too.

    The real reason ganja is not legal is because there are far too many "officials" lining their pockets with bribes. And if there really is "a war on drugs" then anyone taking a bribe is committing treason and should be dealt with accordingly. I beleive most people think that drugs are as "harmless" as prostitution. Being victimless. That is far from reality.

    Question

    I have but one question, personal firsthand type of experience or accurate secondhand knowledge.

    1. Does anyone have a MMJ card and has recently purchased a firearm?

    This can be anonymous or "my friend" type story...

    I personally am not a smoker but did it as a kid. I don't judge people and don't really care what you are into as long as you are a good person and are not hurting or killing people you should be able to do whatever the fuck you want! This is still America after all...

    BTW: Alcohol destroys more lives than all the other drugs in the world combined! Its not only legal, it is vigorously marketed to us and our children everyday of our lives. (not sure if vigorously is a strong enough word)
    If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.

    my dads coffee buddy has his mmj card, and has since it was available,(is a 3 time cancer survivor, so it is legit.) and I have been there when he has passed a background check, and he has also just got his ccw card in the mail, I have seen it.

    I haven't heard anything and haven't read all the posts and I certainly don't want to get into my thoughts on Medicinal Marijuana.

    However, if anyone knew how backed up the state is on these applications (approximately 5000 a week) and how easy the process is then they would probably realize it might be impossible for that many checks to be done.

    Also, there is Colorado case law making MMJ information protected HIPPA information so I am not sure that an actual failure would take place.

    Again, haven't read the posts so if no one has tried to buy a gun that has a Medicinal Marijuana Card, they should try and find out... it could be scare tactic

    Not that I agree that pot and guns mix at all but your rights are your rights.

    No, but I was at an UNNAMED gun shop recently and some young hipster type was buying his first gun and the dealer was helping him fill out the form. Then he came to that question and stated, "If you have a medical marijuana card I don't want to know about it."

    Ethically, I do not have a problem with what he said, but legally? Well, that's why I'm NOT posting the name of the shop because ATF would probably be down there within a week to check this out for themselves. As far as I've seen, they are very diligent about doing everything by the book there, and that was the only time I ever saw anything that was borderline shady . . . personally, I don't think it was wrong what he did, but the feds would surely disagree.
