Hmmm...5 Leaves For Shaheedi Degh - Marijuana Or Not?

Medicines that have been approved by bodies like the FDA and prescribed by a Medical Doctor is not the same as rolling up a joint and smoking it, no matter how you slice and dice it. Nobody gets addicted to say medication for high blood pressure but people do get addicted to weed. As for side effects, there is no medication without side effects, none. It's just the severity.

Be very careful what you wish. What goes around comes around.

And what exactly am I wishing? I said nothing wrong, so don't you give me mehne of what goes around comes around okji.

Watch your mouth. And wash your mouth Paji. And stop giving me negative comments or whatever you are, just because you don't like my post, okkkjiiiii.

And you are wrong, there are medicines that one can get addicted to. Then they find it difficult to come off them.

To anyone claiming medical marijuana isn't actually medicine by calling them intoxicants, if you have ever taken any medically prescribed medicines you have taken a drug.

I don't believe alcohol and cigarettes are that bad but drugs, that's a whole new ball game. I've seen drug addicts. I even know professionals giving the same jive that I'm witnessing in this thread. But they don't realise the ill effects. Like being slow. I honestly believe weed eventually makes you stupid.

You are very much mistaken.

You're criticising me for using 'words' against you sikhs that love taking the drugs and in her example love pushing/dealing the drugs but I think at this point all of you filthy drugie scum should sit back and remember this simple fact: In the whole world, bar one or two countries, you so called 'Sikhs' here that love the cannabis, will not only be arrested and charged with a criminal offence for it, but, in most countries you will have your liberty taken away with a prison sentence and in many countries, such as Singapore, it is an offence deemed immoral enough to carry the death sentence !!!!!! And yet you're complaining about my mere 'words' against you junkie druggie scum ? Trust me, there are no words low enough to describe you that have sunk so low that you not only take intoxicants whilst wearing the Guru's clothes you actually justify it by trying to incorporate it into Sikhi. There are no words low enough to describe you people.

Not every law the government signs is righteous and meant for the people, (in America it was once legal to seperate white and black for simple services), nations change. Sympathizing with the problems of those with the needs medical marijuana doesn't make any human Anti-Sikh.

Tried and tested methods of herbal medicinal used throughout millenia whether in the outback of Australia, Amazonian Rainforests or closer to home 'desi/ayurvedic' remedies are far better and healthier for the body than the engineered single substance man made medicines approved by the FDA/BMA - providing you find a trusted Vaid. Western Science though useful has significant limitations, they do not understand to name but a few examples, garam/sarad of the body, treatment of eczema without E45, effective remedies for chronic coughs.......really the list is endless.

There is no denying Cannabis was used in the past by Singh's as is evident through historical Granths, just not for recreational use to get high. Trick for the ones that use it to have 8-10 hours of Amritvela or work in the heat is not to get hooked and herein lies the tricky part!

Curious, are you also ok with alcohol and cigarettes?

Cigarettes no, but alcohol depends on the context, it is used for wounds and in almost all known 'FDA' approved cough medicines.

Are you trying to ban tobacco and alcohol for other people? The drug wars have costed way too much for what it's worth.

Why not? As crazy as it sounds apparently there are good side effects to smoking.
