I wasn't really making the jump to "turning off your brain", I was talking about relaxation using an expression. I'm disarming the idea that you would need that to relax. Emotions are good to keep under control though. Panic is dangerous, and all that. (On a lighter note, it's fun being in a family with so many emotionally driven sorts, by which I mean they "feel" their way through situations, by which I mean there's lots of really idiotic misunderstandinds and shouting matches and bad decisions involving health care.
Anyway, I don't know what you philosophize about, I was just joking. It basically stems from the fact I've never heard a single philosophic comment that wasn't just totally full of itself and of no actual merit to anyone.
I'm pretty sure an ambulance can get you to that hospital a lot faster than your own car. I know I'd rather call one than trust an intoxicated friend to get me there. Here's a fun one. The thing is, if you didn't DO drugs, you would ALWAYS be in a good condition to drive. I can toss that whole "what if there was a medical emergency" scenario right back at you. It's one of those "reversible arguments". Like, when someone says "I don't get why you don't just lend me your liscene! It's not a big deal!" vs "I don't get why you just NEED me to give this to you. It's no big deal.".
MONTEL WILLIAMS swears by it? Well he's a BRILLIANT scientist! I mean he certainly knows what he's talking about, he has ACCURATE psychic Sylvia Brown on every week after all!
Anyway, the medicinal effect is basically pain relief. I know you want it to be a miracle drug. I mean, lazyfatbum is convinced that beer is the secret of "finding yourself" and wine drinkers sure love reminding me that wine can help lower blood pressure (which is certainly worth the destroyed liver).
Again, I don't really mind if you do this. I find it weird that you keep calling it "cannabis". I don't mind calling it by slang.
At any rate, as I said my example was pure anecdote, which is of course not based in evidence at all. That's why I linked to that report. I already said it isn't as strong an effect, or really very close at all, to that of driving drunk.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
