Latest high risk is mixing 10% heroin into illegal marijuana to make it highly addictive.

shit like that has been happening for years. 40 that i personally know of and it probably happened before then.
The thing I find with pro medicinal marijuana people is that they are so similar to the religious nuts ofyears gone by..
Pray and you’ll be cured of all your ailments…
Take cannibis and you’ll be cured of all your ailments…
Just decide on what it cures and do some tests to prove it…

Nothing new. Opiated hashish is where the word assassain originates.

Most of thm just want the right to get high and using medicinal as an end run around the regulations. Going to suck for them when the active agents are identified and put into capsules without the high. They would have lobbied for something they don’t actually want.
Better off being honest about it, make an argument that law enforcement is rediculously expensive for something anyone can grow, and legislate it instead as something akin to home brew. You can make your own but don’t sell it. Don’t drive under the influence, and don’t give it to kids.

Cannabis cures nothing but prevention has always been better than a cure and many herbs help prevent. Which is why they make up much of the chemical analysis of the drugs we manufacture.
The name “Assassin” is often said to derive from the Arabic word Hashishin or “users of hashish”, a misnomer thought to have been derogatory and used by their adversaries during the Middle Ages. Originally applied to the Nizari Ismaelis by the Mustali Ismailis during the fall of the decaying Ismaili Fatimid Empire and the separation of the two streams, it is possible that the term hashishiyya or hashishi in Muslim sources was used metaphorically in its abusive sense (i.e. “social outcasts”, “low-class rabble”, etc.), while the literal interpretation of this term in referring to the Nizaris (as hashish consuming intoxicated assassins) may be rooted in the fantasies of medieval Westerners.

The story behind the attribution, related as much to the fact that the hashassassains were so drugged up that they could sustain heaps of injury before they were able to finish their task. Which after all was why they were doing it.
According to Lebanese writer Amin Maalouf:
Their contemporaries in the Muslim world would call them hash-ishiyun, “hashish-smokers”; some orientalists thought that this was the origin of the word “assassin”, which in many European languages was more terrifying yet … The truth is different. According to texts that have come down to us from Alamut, Hassan-i Sabbah liked to call his disciples Asasiyun, meaning people who are faithful to the Asās, meaning “foundation” of the faith. This is the word, misunderstood by foreign travellers, that seemed similar to “hashish”.
Another modern author, Edward Burman, states that:
Many scholars have argued, and demonstrated convincingly, that the attribution of the epithet “hashish eaters” or “hashish takers” is a misnomer derived from enemies of the Isma’ilis and was never used by Muslim chroniclers or sources. It was therefore used in a pejorative sense of “enemies” or “disreputable people”. This sense of the term survived into modern times with the common Egyptian usage of the term Hashasheen in the 1930s to mean simply “noisy or riotous”. It is unlikely that the austere Hassan-i Sabbah indulged personally in drug taking … there is no mention of that drug hashish in connection with the Persian Assassins – especially in the library of Alamut (“the secret archives”).

First Australian medical cannabis clinical trial greenlighted
NSW will be the first Australian state or territory to conduct medicinal cannabis clinical trials for terminally ill adults with cancer after Premier Mike Baird gave the go-ahead to researchers at UNSW.
The NSW Government has committed $9 million to support medical cannabis clinical trials but there is no mention yet when trials treating children with severe epilepsy will begin, something Mr Baird pledged to explore last year.
The drug can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including muscle spasms caused by epilepsy and multiple sclerosis, chemotherapy-induced nausea, Crohns disease and poor appetite caused by HIV.
University of New South Wales’ Chief Investigator Associate Professor Meera Agar – who has led several research studies into the management of terminally ill patients – will lead the research team and focus on how medicinal cannabis can improve poor appetite and appetite-related symptoms, such as nausea, in terminally ill adult cancer patients in their final stages of life.

Australia is behind the times on the medical use of cannabis
The debate about the medical use of cannabis in Australia has become confused with the proposal for a formal clinical trial instead of proceeding to legislation in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria. Debates about prohibition of cannabis have a long history,1 as has the proposal for medical cannabis in Australia.2 Politicians are nervous about being “soft on drugs”, especially before an election. The clinical trial proposed, if successful, presumes that cannabis would then be approved and regulated as a pharmaceutical substance.

No I agree, the medical profession will be searching for the active ingredients to remedy the particular malady. They will also attempt to strip out the high as an unwanted side affect. People advocating for medicinal use of cannabis will be dissapointed when medical science delivers to them what they profess to want.

I don’t think this is necessarily true; morphine, as an example, is used extensively for pain relief, but also has a narcotic effect (ie gets the patient high.) When I was hospitalised with pancreatitis they gave me morphine, which didn’t ease the pain but got me high so I didn’t care about the pain.
