There are so many reasons to love Elizabeth Warren and now she has given us yet another reason, which is that she wants you to be free to get hiiiggggh. If you have cancer, that is. And a prescription. From a REAL doctor, not from a “Farmacy” like they have on every street corner in L.A. But still! If you have cancer and are in pain and have a prescription, you should totally be free to get hiiighhhh, says (future Senator!) Elizabeth Warren.
During a radio interview with Boston’s WTKK-FM Monday, Warren was asked about a Massachusetts ballot initiative that will legalize medical marijuana if it passes in November, and talked about what it was like to watch her father die of cancer:
You know, I held my father’s hand while he died of cancer, and it’s really painful when you do something like that up close and personal. My mother was already gone and I was very very close to my father. And it puts me in a position of saying, if there’s something a physician can prescribe that can help someone who’s suffering, I’m in favor of that. Now, I want to make sure they’ve got the right restrictions. It should be like any other prescription drug. That there’s careful control over it. But I think it’s really hard to watch somebody suffer that you love.
Seven states may legalize medical marijuana in November, and if they all pass, twenty-four states (plus Washington, D.C.) will have legalized it. So there you have it, Massachusetts residents, ANOTHER reason to fall madly in love with Liz Warren.

Well sure, injuns have always been into that natural herbal stuff.
What about this weird looking mole? Can I get a prescription for it?
If you get high enough it won't be weird looking.
Or REALLY weird looking.
You sure it's real and not a figment of your imagination?
Pot's a great remedy for garden varmints. I heard that from a doctor.
Pretty sure it was a doctor. barman. whatever.
That's called a Star-nosed Mole. The Doctor can't give you prescription for it but he can introduce a couple of feral cats to it.
Loco weed gift of Great Spirit.
Fauxahontas smokem peace pipe.
Scott's not here, man.
Well she's got Towelie's endorsement now.
If it's like any other prescription drug, they'll be advertising it on tv every five minutes, sending samples to your doctor to give out like candy and figuring out off-label uses for it to sell as much as possible.
Yeah …. I could live with that.
"If you have an uncontrollable desire to listen to Pink Floyd lasting more than an hour, contact your physician."
Dude, really? ONE hour? It takes me that long to get high.
I hate Pink Floyd
So do I
Unfortunately the samples are pretty tight nowadays.
I'm trying to imagine a commercial for pot.
I mean, the closest I can come up with is a brand name of "Highmaster" or "Doob-onet"…

I recently read something online (so you know its true) that something in maryjuwanna actually acts to combat obesity. Waiting for teenager to leave for work to begin trials.
I'll drink to that.
Mmmm… prescription brownies….
Alice B. voting for Liz.
'Ere!
*passes joint*
Intercepted!
Don't bogart that joint my friend, pass it over to me.
Oh, and I suppose you want it covered by insurance too, eh slut?
Of course!! Y'ever had sex while high?
I believe it might have happened once.
How does she feel about huffing glue?
And the brown acid?
Carbona, not glue.
Paint thinner.
Where can I get some of this Jenkem I keep hearing about?
As long as its not huffing post.
The stupid in the post, it burns…your nose.
I love her so much. I just want to sit naked with her in an Indian sweat tent and smoke blunt after blunt while she talks about reforming the banking system
I just got wood……
I've got this existential angst that's really causing me a lot of pain.
That's better than angst in your pants, but I feel your pain.
Election season is causing me uncontrollable anxiety, that's for sure…
I have anxiety about where I'm gonna be able to score some more weed.
Who doesn't? Now stop bogartin' that state sanctioned anxiety remedy.
So you've got an ang nail?
Can we make election day honorary 4/20 day?
Those tomahawk chop dudes from the last story could use a toke or ten…
All aboard the Canny Bus!
I don't mean to cause no fuss, but can I drive your magic bus?
Had to read this 10 times before I got it!
Oh, Prommie! : )
Time to talk to my doctor about Aricept.
And we'll drive it on the lets get HIGHway
Good one, Deli!
You send by the Candy Bus, too, and you have yourself a deal, lady!
What is the Green Party's opinion on this?
Alligator clips for all.

I'm Sharkey, and I approved this message.
I burnt my lip bogarting a joint. Can I get a prescription?
It's called "instant karma" to teach you not to bogart.
It's a delicious cycle.
I'm an M.D. (Marginally Degenerate) and I could write prescriptions for all of you.
Whoa!!! Don't all line up at once. And you there, in the back, quit pushing.
If I could only find the "Donate" button…
BTW, recent poll here in Warshington State shows the boo bill passing 50-38.
also, too, Colorado Amendment 64:20
And you don't need a prescription, it's full on legalization!
Woo hoo!
Seattle will be the new Amsterdam since Amsterdam ain't what it used to be.
I blame the Dutch.
They're nutz. It's going to cost them big time tourist dollars. It's still a cool city 'n' all, but it won't be the same without the coffee shops. Damn it! I was planning to go there next fall. My favorite shop there is Amnesia -http://www.coffeeshop.freeuk.com/Amnesia.html .

As a libtard resident of WA, OR, or CO, I lurve me some Elizabeth Warren, but think she's a little behind the curve on this issue.
OK, that sinks it.
Elizabeth, I will break my vow of confirmed bachlerhood and marry you.
Happy now?
Though one can already see the next Karl Rove ad:
Elizabeth Warren wants all children to have unlimited access to all illegal drugs forever. Because she hates freedom. And thinks she's an indian, too.
I'm Scottie 'Nice Guy' Brown, and I approve this message.
Or something similarly dickish.
As if I needed another one? Warren 2016!
Maybe this will ease Scott Brown's pain.
Hey, Gravatar, why you no visible, like on internet? Oh, hell, there I am! Whew!
See? Elizabeth does know how to send smoke signals. Eat shit, Scottie.
Everything's funny on the Pot isn't it!
No, really, it is.
Cookies taste better, too. And they were already pretty good.
Scotty gets high naturally – by talking about his truck.
Natty Dread, ten 'gainst one.
Bumbaclot!
When the world ain't your friend

–Too Much Joy, "Take a Lot of Drugs"
The medical uses of marijuana are many—pain relief, nausea relief, insomnia relief, inability to appreciate Jerry Garcia relief, poor appetite for Ben & Jerry's relief, inability to orgasm more than 4-5 times a night relief, poor cognitive receptivity for network television relief. But it does not make voting Republican any healthier. So it should be strictly controlled for conditions where it has demonstrable patient benefit. Plus for religious purposes, like my religion and my followers who consider reefer a daily prayer for cookies.
I've been head over heels for Miss Warren for some time now.
Americans deserve the individual freedom for medicinal marijuana usage. Legalization would save enforcement money to spend on more important social problems, and prohibition has been proven not to work and Why are my hands so big? Dude, I could chop down trees with these. Where was I? Oh yeah, pizza. Who are you people?
Waiter, I'll smoke what she's smoking.
Is this still that same song?
Wuh?
Oh, and as someone who has lost 30% of his body weight thanks to gastroparesis (thanks to the pain meds for my fucked up back) and would benefit highly* from legal medical pot (mainly so I can weigh more than 140 lbs. and maybe find some goddamn pants in my size — 28 x 32/34), all I can type is …
HELL FUCKING YES THAT SHIT SHOULD BE LEGAL, AND ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL, AND RIGHT GODDAMN NOW, THANKYOUVERYMUCH.
Your mileage may vary …
(* Yeah, yeah … )
Well, Barack Obama is a true liberal and you just know you can count on him to advance this issue! Just like finance regulation, too big to fail, commodities futures speculation, and offshoring jobs!
Lulz
I realize the guy can't control ever facet of the gov't, but it would be nice if he'd tell the DoJ to back the fuck off the dispensaries. That can't be too hard to do, can it?
He sorta did, but they continue to go after what they deem "illegal" dispensaries.

And Vote Green Party! End the War on Drugs!
Feel free to get as high as you want to but, no, I'm not going to vote for the Green Party. And if they fuck up this election the way Ralph Nader fucked up Bush vs Gore, they'll be black and blue as well as green.
The issue is when the growers and vendors are basically admitting they aren't following the rules/sticking to legitimate medical uses. There was a dude here in Oregon who just got busted, in part because he admitted he was paying his employees in pot (in theory because they couldn't be paid in cash under the state's medical marijuana law). Of course, the answer to people here is to try and straight legalize it by ballot measure despite the plain conflict with Federal law – and all I can say about that is listening to a guy who sounds stoned try to win a public debate about legalization is some good theater.
Wait, whoa, hold the fuck on, is it legal in DC? Wait just a fucking second here, DC? Just 3 hours away? Thats shorter than Sherman's march to the sea (Atlanta to Savannah, roughly). Where's the "Prescription Bus?" Am I gonna have to be the one makes my first million creating the "Prescription Bus" which will pick up ailing college students from all over the East Coast and take them to DC for a visit with the Doctor to obtain their life-saving prescription?
It's still cheaper and easier to get it from Phil, five minutes away.
It's very restrictive. Lemme see here… You must have either HIV/AIDS, cancer, glaucoma, or multiple sclerosis (nothing else, headaches or depression don't count) and you have to certified by a doctor.

When most folks smell a skunk, the plug their noses and say, "EEeewwwwww!"
When stoners smell a skunk, they take a nice deep breath and say, "Aaaahhhhh … "
if there’s something a physician can prescribe that can help someone who’s suffering, I’m in favor of that.
I double-dare Scott Brown to argue with that statement.
He won't argue, he'll just make a smart-aleck remark about smoking a peace pipe.
Well, pot will get you through times with no money better than money will get you through times with no pot.
Or so I'm told.
Fabulous Furry Freek Brother Freewheelin' Franklin said that.
I know! Not Phineas or Fat Freddy. Not even Fat Freddy Scat.
I used to have all of those comics.
I have about five of them which I still love to read 40 years later. Unfortunately, I had a cat who liked to chew the corners.
Reality is a crutch for people who can't handle drugs.
I thought for a while about posting "I HAVE CANCER!! I HAVE CANCER!!", then realized that would probably be in bad taste.
My apologies for thinking about posting that.
This is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head. Luckily I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind limber.
And don't forget, Colorado will vote for full-on legalized marijuana for recreational use with Amendment 64 this year. Medical marijuana is already legal in the state.
Well, I used to have cancer and it might come back so can I get a prescription just in case? I think we should all stay prepared.
Not only do I get to vote for Elizabeth Warren and Barack Obama this November, I get to vote against Scott Brown and Mitt Romney.
You are one lucky man.
I would have been more moved at the story about her dying father had I not been staring at her tits the whole time.
I just wanted to roll a fatty as she told that story.
…in her cleavage.
What if I suffer terribly from not being high?
I had a cat with cancer once — does that count?
I almost heard a discouraging word. Does that count?
Reaction in the academic community has been swift, with competing offers to Professor Warren coming in from UC Santa Cruz, Reed College, and Humboldt State. Reached in his office, the Chancellor at Santa Cruz commented, "Elizabeth Warren is an outstanding academic who would bring a wealth of talent to our university and, like, wow, do you see that hawk sitting in that redwood over there, just, like, staring? It's like you can see through its eye to its animal soul."
That picture makes her look like one of those people who do body mods to look more like a cat.
Which makes me think of Pussy.
There are so many reasons to love Elizabeth Warren and now she has given us yet another reason, which is that she wants you to be free to get hiiiggggh.
Way ahead of you Liz, way ahead of you…, wait, what was I saying….
Also, too, Washington, Oregon and Colorado have LEGALIZATION measures on the ballot. Polling is positive in WA and CO, not so much in OR.
Vote early, vote often.
SOMEbody's beggin' for a drug-testin'.
all this talk about weed! time to fire up the volcano.
Twinkies and bananas are soooo killer, like, together!
Dude. In WA, thanks to Pat Robertson, were gonna vote to legalize pot for everybody. So Ms. Warren, come visit your friends Patty and Maria after the election and smoke a bowl with us.
Elizabeth Warren/Willie Nelson in 2016! "Legalize it, don't criticize it!"
When even the people who wear pearl earrings think it's OK …
can I get hiiiiiiiiiiiiigh with Scott Brown's daughters?
that would be so cool
Elizabeth Warren/Snoop Dogg 2016!!!!! Fuck yeah!
'"But I think it’s really hard to watch somebody suffer that you love." Silly Elizabeth Warren, she doesn't know Republicans very well, does she?
Well it might be tough for them, if they actually were capable of loving people. But there is only limited anecdotal evidence of that.
Citation, pleeze!Sent from the Field, not in Garrison.
The only reason it hasn't been declared legal befire now is they keep forgetting where they put the petitions!
Fine, look, I'm just making people aware. I'm just sick of the "I'm not gonna vote because I don't like either candidate, boo hoo." We do not have to have a 2 party system – it only works if everybody agrees to it.
