Should the Government fully support marijuana research and do you believe that the Military should be open to its usage medically?2015-06-23T23:17:49-04:00CW4 Private RallyPoint Member766125<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a target="_blank" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/22/public-health-service-review_n_7635760.html">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/22/public-health-service-review_n_7635760.html</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">

As for military i don't think it's a good idea.Response by SSgt John Stice made Jun 23 at 2015 11:45 PM2015-06-23T23:45:51-04:002015-06-23T23:45:51-04:00SPC George Rudenko766232<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The conditions we know of that MJ could help, would mostly be very rarely encoutered or those conditions would be prohibitive of military service. Cancer being the big one, what happens if a person treated with MJ during cancer treatment becomes addicted? Then we have to grant a disability for legal(?) MJ use? Certain treatments availible to general population are not availible for troops for that reason. Until there is a much larger research pool, I am going with slippery slope.Response by SPC George Rudenko made Jun 24 at 2015 12:55 AM2015-06-24T00:55:01-04:002015-06-24T00:55:01-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member766271<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don't see soldiers functioning properly while receiving an opord before a mission. Physically and mentally unable to accomplish any task because of eating a bag of dorritos is more important. It's bad enough to have junior enlisted soldier come in already unfit or unfamiliar with the military. It would cause a headache for leadership which is not needed.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 24 at 2015 1:45 AM2015-06-24T01:45:19-04:002015-06-24T01:45:19-04:00MSgt C Madd766436<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No for military, no test to quantify use. Can not tell if used 30 days ago or 30 minutes ago. Troops would be high all day at work. Bad idea.Response by MSgt C Madd made Jun 24 at 2015 8:04 AM2015-06-24T08:04:17-04:002015-06-24T08:04:17-04:00TSgt Private RallyPoint Member766581<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I feel that it should be treated in the same way as alcohol. Don't make it illegal, just regulate and tax it. If someone shows up for duty high, deal with it the same way that you would deal with someone showing up drunk. There really is no reason to treat it differently in my opinion. Dereliction is dereliction.Response by TSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 24 at 2015 9:32 AM2015-06-24T09:32:56-04:002015-06-24T09:32:56-04:002015-06-23T23:17:49-04:00
