“If our medical cannabis smoking has anything to do with your children, positive or negative, you as a parent need help.”
Welcome to episode 61 of the Hot Box podcast. If you’re new to the show, every Tuesday and Saturday evening Sandy and myself get together and present you with the most current marijuana related news stories. The kicker is, we bring you the actual TRUTH about what’s going on. There is a lot of piss poor biased “journalism” going on out there, and we feel like it’s our duty to sift through the bullshit and get to the real story. The bottom line is this. Cannabis has been around for as long as man has walked the earth. There have never been any fatalities attributed to cannabis, and the more research is done, the more we are finding out all sorts of amazing things this plant can be used for. Medical, agricultural, recreational, economical, etc… The list goes on and on. We are fighting an upward battle against people who are lost to any and all logical thinking and reasonable decision making. Their crusade is one powered by lies and misinformation, scare tactics and fear mongering. The unfortunate thing is that this group happens to be very well funded by the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. Creepy right? Like why does the Mormon church, or in particular, this human (brother Steve Zabawa) have any stake in whether or not medical marijuana gets repealed in Montana. It’s all messed up, and these people aren’t trying to make it better. They are making things much worse. If this repeal happens, you are going to destroy all of the progress that has been made up until this point. Just like that you create over 28,000 brand new criminals that the justice system has to spend money it doesn’t have dealing with. Not to mention how much extra money it will cost to keep the really sick “criminals” alive while in jail. Repeal will have such a negative impact on our state that the fall out from what you have done will create more danger for your children than this harmless, helpful plant ever could have. Please, on behalf of the Hot Box podcast and all of the patients and caregivers and dispensary workers and owners, please pull your collective heads out of your asses and let’s fix this thing. We all know repeal is NOT the answer.

“I believe in the voice of the people.”
Marijuana has endless benefits to human beings. This we know. The government may not want to admit it, but they know also. Why do you think they CURRENTLY dispense “medical marijuana” on the tax payers dime to four people with ailments that range from Glaucoma to Multiple Sclerosis to Multiple Congenital Cartilaginous Exostoses. If that last one sounds kind of familiar, it should. It’s the disease our good friend Irvin Rosenfeld has been living with since he was ten years old. Ask him and he’ll be happy to tell you, cannabis saved his life. It’s beyond me why this is even an issue. I understand that perhaps the government doesn’t want to go back on over 80 years of marijuana prohibition. As much as that is going to inevitably make them look like huge raging hypocrites, it’s not like that’s the first time it’s happened. As awesome and as free as we like to think this great country of ours is, our government does some shady messed up junk. So it’s no surprise that they are clinging onto every last nano thread of the whole reefer madness mind state, which only serves to hinder our potentially great nations progress. Ask local law enforcement, the ones who are well educated know how much of a waste of time it is busting people who smoke marijuana. Ask doctors, the ones who are well educated will tell you that marijuana is one of the safest substances known to man. Where else can you get such amazing medicinal properties, awesome preventative and relaxation properties with zero side effects? Marijuana my friends. Marijuana.

“There is no basis for what they’re afraid of.”
Homeopathy = Bad
Marijuana = Good
Has anyone looked at it from this point of view yet? I was driving back home safely (with a BUNCH of marijuana in my system I might add, completely in control and safe), from taking Sandy back home after the podcast, and it occurred to me. We all agree that marijuana has medical properties, both preventative and to help ease a long list of symptoms, with zero negative side effects, yet federally it is still illegal. Homeopathy on the other hand, states it can cure a long list of ailments (which there is absolutely zero scientific evidence for), and if you follow the homeopathic guide of how “like cures like,” basically after the long dilution process called potentisation (which incorrectly states the more times you dilute the “remedy,” the stronger it becomes because of the “memory” the water has), what you are left with on a 12C dilution is a 60% chance of ONE molecule of the original remedy in the solution. Basically this is a completely ridiculous unscientific belief that exploits people to make money. Of course to get at the average 30C “potency” they will then continue to dilute this down 18 more times. Of course, by that point there is absolutely NOTHING left in your solution other than the water itself, so all you are doing is diluting water with water. Guess what that makes? Yep, plain old water.
Any effect felt from using homeopathic remedies is strictly placebo, and even that is questioned by some. My point is, that if this Alternative Medicine industry is able to function and sell people remedies that have no basis in science (Homeopathy, Chiropractic Subluxations, Crystal and Faith Healing, etc…), and have proven zero efficacy (quite the opposite actually, many times has homeopathy been proven to be completely ineffective), basically ripping off the people that buy their snake oil. Yet this plant that has actual, legitimate medical benefit, as both a preventative and a medicine to treat a long list of ailments, not to mention all of its therapeutic relaxation properties, yet anyone who smokes it is considered a “second class citizen” and a “criminal” by the federal government and even by some state governments. Meanwhile lets keep in mind the federal government is currently prescribing medical marijuana to 4 people.
