Quote: | Lamar Odom is preparing to launch Rich Soil Organics, a line of marijuana products, because he credits cannabis for helping him while he underwent treatment for substance abuse. |
I know people will snicker at this, but I've read that cannabis can help people kick an addiction to a drug that, you know, is actually bad for you.
Good for him that he's finding a way to be active and productive in retirement. It's a miracle that he's even able to function after what happened at that whore house recently.

As a strong advocate for marijuana and all of its amazing attributes, I can say from personal experience that one drug only replaces another, and usually not for long. The underlying issues that cause addiction aren’t cured with a couple puffs.
Albeit it’s better than crack, it’s only a matter of time before an addict returns to the original drug of choice. |

Quote: | “I’m a healer now,” the 1998 Heisman Trophy winner told the Cannabist. “I’m excited for that world to converge with cannabis.”
Real Wellness, which is launching in California, has products designed for daily use, and also includes herbal extracts.
“I am known as a professional football player,” Williams told the Sun-Sentinel. “In the last 14 years, I have been educating myself and training as a health care practitioner.”

No, not funny. Calling women whores is a sexist slur. Don't do it here. And that goes for the people lol-ing and agreeing. Just grow up and stop reinforcing sexist stereotypes. |

His weed will have potential at first, be borderline great at times, but ultimately leave you wanting a more potent high. |

Just about everyone who is remotely famous and doesn't mind having their name associated with weed is doing this. It's the newest frontier in licensing. |

Is that an opinion or do you have stats? I'm going from the position that says the person wants to quit. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Find an addict who doesn't want to quit and ask them if it's just a mental adjustment that needs to be made. |

Didn't say it was just a mental adjustment. I presented a means to a end. Starting from the base of wanting to quit. I also said change is possible.
When I quit smoking the first step was wanting to. Then I had to make up my mind, program the primary computer.
You said majority. I ask again is that just your opinion? _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

But his drug of choice was always the herb. |
