KM, chemo is horrific. It's trying to "cure" cancer, not relieve pain, and causes much worse pain, discomfort and illness usually than the cancer itself.

I think Trips got the right idea, give the public a different view of a pot smoker than the traditional and it would go a long way. Even after talking or reading what a bunch of you guys have to say about the matter, and knowing you dont fit the typical "image" I still cant think of a pot smoker without thinking of Dazed and Confused, or Ashton Kutcher being himself.

I didn't call 'tard an addict.

I was pointing out that chemo is the exact opposite of a pain reliever.

I have known too many chemo patients in my life and NOT ONCE have I known anyone to enjoy it.

Then its not directed at you, this is regarding a different thread mentioning Avatar's addictness.

You brought up the chemo, I responded to it, to which you responded.

Tally was right, there was some major fail-age in your attempted parallel.

Disagree. Avatar uses Marijuana for legitimate medical reasons, yet it is said that he comes across as an addict. I counter then that anyone who uses any type of narcotic substance to combat the negative effects of an illness would also have to be referred to as a drug addict.

Do you understand what you are typing?

Since when is chemo a narcotic?

You guys get so upset about the misinformation campaign against your beloved MJ but start spewing crazy nonsense when it comes to the defense of it.

Crazy nonsense? Huh? Chemotherapy is a drug regimen. Drugs = Narcotics. Narcotics does not solely refer to that which is illegal such as heroin.

Aside from that, I was only using chemo in the treatment of cancer as an example. You could use the same reference for someone that uses sleeping pills too.

Not in this comparison. I'm debating that if someone who uses Marijuana for legitimate medical purposes is an addict then so is everyone else that uses drugs for the same reason.
