Noting Wanderer's followup regarding an NRA type response, I was going to say reminds me of "people kill people, not guns!" However, for all the guys that would wish to partake, do your research on long term effects of marijuana on your male hormones. There are a number of bad habits that affect men in a negative way, including drinking, smoking, marijuana, and the case might even be made for eating meat in an age of high levels of estrogen being used to fatten up chickens for market. Just saying'! However, in hospice situations and certain other medical conditions, marijuana is a great help and should be considered a legitimate medicine.

I am in favor of medical use, with prescription and standardization. I realize that folks will use it for "recreation". The government might as well tax it. I will tell you a story now. This happened some 45 years ago. I was a captain in the USAF. A fellow captain - a surgeon rotating through out base, asked me to dinner. He lived at another base some 25 minutes away, and did not finish his OR schedule until 7p. So I was to drive over to meet him at his place. I arrived about 7p but he was finishing the last operation. I had my small beeper, and he sent a message through that to say he would be there soon. Well he was late. I looked around the place for something to eat. I should have just left. There was nothing nutritious, but there was a plate of brownies on the table. The brownie tasted a little funny. You can guess the rest. I was sooooo wasted. There was NO WAY I could go to dinner. I couldn't even drive myself home. I knew immediately when the drug hit me, what it was. I spent the night curled up on his sofa watching his little TV. If he had been the sort, he could easily have taken sexual advantage of my condition. He was a surgeon!! It did not even occur to me that he would be using pot.

Thank you!I'm happy I found this forum and I know the Lord will deliver me and my family from this situation where in. Yeah I'm just taking this one day at a time please keep me and my family in your prayers.

That's just the way Italian men say "hello"! Be thankful that we're not dogs. I must say that I'm jealous Gregory. Women have always appreciated me for my mind. That's so shallow! I have a body too!

I find your recount pretty funny. Back in the mid-70s, a friend and I were on a packed, Friday evening train going between Lugano, Switzerland, and Milan, Italy... the train was full of Italian men going back to their homes in Italy (they worked in Switzerland during the week). We'd been warned by our Swiss hosts that we'd probably be getting pinched and patted by the men — and the warning was correct. We'd also been told what to do: give them the "evil eye" look, complete with the raised eyebrow and the crossed arms. Amazingly enough, it worked. ?

I would like to see more scientific research done. Yes, I have some knowledge of the research that has been done. But, U.S.; research in this subject area has been crippled by government policy which needs to be changed.
