They really earned their pay check that night. I just want to know if the proud hero's went home safe ??

I just want to know if the proud hero's went home safe ??

Since Deckard is unavailable to timely answer such an important concern.

I feel compelled by the social force that binds me to step in to provide an immediate answer to you, by stating …

Yes.

Yes, they did.

And I feel sure that if they knew, they would be most pleased with your deep and sincere show of concern.

LOL !!!

In December of last year, medical marijuana was officially legalized in Missouri —sort of.

This is funny. I don’t care who you are or what your position is on legalizing marijuana.

This statement is a proclamation like saying "you’re half-pregnant."

OK, so it must seem blindingly obvious, but you’re either pregnant or you’re not. You can’t be half-pregnant.

It therefore also must seem blindingly obvious, that marijuana either is or is not legal in Missouri. Not “sort of.”

Get real here …

In December of last year, medical marijuana was officially legalized in Missouri —sort of.

Missouri made medical marijuana legal, but most doctors don't want any part of it

Joshua Mammen, a Kansas City area cancer surgeon, has a plan for when patients ask him for medical marijuana. He'll discuss the symptoms they want to treat. And then he will propose alternatives.

Voters may have overwhelmingly approved medical marijuana by constitutional amendment last week. But all the state's major physician groups—including the Kansas City Medical Society, of which Mammen is president—opposed every marijuana measure on the ballot.

Now the amendment's passage makes doctors the gatekeepers of legal marijuana in Missouri, a role most of them didn't want. And if other states are any indication, a small minority of doctors will be willing to recommend medical marijuana, and those who do may have booming businesses.

Most doctors don't think of marijuana as medicine, at least not in its raw plant form.

The medical groups say that although certain parts of the cannabis plant have legitimate medical uses, medical marijuana programs like Missouri's provide access to products that aren't sold in standard dosages or purities.

Essentially, patients don't know what they're getting, so it's impossible for doctors to measure the risks against the benefits. The marijuana card, therefore, becomes more like a permission slip than a prescription.

Mammen said he prescribes medications derived from plants all the time, including some derived from parts of the cannabis plant. But those are regulated, standardized products vetted by the Food and Drug Administration, not a raw plant of unknown composition.

Still, he said he expects doctors will soon have patients asking them to sign off on their applications for marijuana cards from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.

"If you follow what's happened in other states, that's very typical," Mammen said. "Based upon the publicity, individuals will go to their physicians and ask for marijuana, which actually puts physicians in a little bit of a difficult spot because there's a lack of data to indicate when is a potentially good time, if there is one, to be able to suggest the use of marijuana."

Marijuana research has been hampered because the federal government deems it a Schedule I controlled substance. But it has shown promise in treating pain and psychiatric or neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease, and some parts of the plant have already been incorporated into FDA-approved products for treating epilepsy and for nausea caused by chemotherapy.

But Mammen said marijuana, like other drugs or even herbal supplements, can interact dangerously with other medications patients might be taking, and doctors also need to be concerned about side effects like vomiting or, for people with mental illness, psychotic episodes.

He said he hopes that when the state develops a medical marijuana application form, it doesn't ask doctors to explicitly recommend marijuana, but rather just asks them to confirm that patients have conditions that qualify them for the card.

Some doctors in the state are more receptive.

In a 2016 survey conducted by the Kansas City Medical Society, 50 of 109 respondents said they would recommend it marijuana it were legal. But the survey was unscientific because it was voluntary—not a random sample—and less than 5 percent of the organization's about 2,500 members responded.

Missouri Rep. Jim Neely, a family physician from Cameron, north of Kansas City, has been one of the leading proponents in the state legislature. He sponsored a bill this year to legalize smokeless marijuana for patients with terminal illnesses. "Marijuana's everywhere anyway," he said. "We've got to find a better way of dealing with it." The bill didn't pass.

Neely didn't respond to a request for comment for this story.

If patients have trouble finding doctors to recommend marijuana, at least one Missouri business is stepping in to help.

Missouri Medical Marijuana, headquartered in Columbia, was founded the day after the election, with the goal of creating an online directory of doctors and dispensaries—or "a Yelp! for the legal medical marijuana industry in Missouri."

"We're super excited about the election results and can't wait to get the ball rolling," said founder Brian Klug.

Doctors who are willing to write marijuana recommendations have found a lot of business in other states. A Michigan doctor estimated last month that his clinic had performed 70,000 to 80,000 exams for medical marijuana cards after he moved there when the law passed in 2008.

It will be probably a year before the Missouri health department has finished writing rules and Missourians can walk into dispensaries in the state and buy medical marijuana.

The Missouri State Medical Association, which represents the state's doctors, had opposed the marijuana ballot measures. Now Jeff Howell, the group's head of government relations in Jefferson City, said he's already hearing from concerned doctors, and the association will provide input on the rule-making process.

Howell doesn't want the process to be like Oklahoma, where the state medical association demanded strict restrictions—including a ban on smokeable products— which spurred lawsuits and the intervention of the state attorney general to make sure the public's vote was respected.

But he said his organization wants to make sure the commercial aspects of medical marijuana don't reflect poorly on the medical profession, with a few "fly-by-night" doctors making it their main source of income.

"The important thing for me is that it doesn't turn into Venice Beach (California), where you have storefronts that say 'Come in and get your marijuana card,'" Howell said.

... a plant that was technically legalized in December …

Oh, NO.

Here we are back to being half pregnant again.

It either was or was not legalized in December.

And it was NOT.

It will be legalized in 2020.

As several Boliver police officers were raiding his room ...

There were only two Boliver police officers, not "several" ...

" There were only two Boliver police officers "

Well Tater, I know you hate being wrong, but you better watch the video again. There were THREE ( 3 ). One standing near the door, one standing against the wall at the foot of the bed, and one that was active doing the search.

Sorry Tater !!

Sorry Tater !!

Why in the world would you apologize to tater? This old man can't read and is losing his mind.

There were THREE ( 3 ). One standing near the door, one standing against the wall at the foot of the bed, and one that was active doing the search.

Now you did it - Tater will now claim that three is not "several".

Two is a "couple" and more than two or three is several.

Of course we don't see the SWAT team in body armor with assault rifles who were likely waiting out in the hall itching to go in and wreak havoc on an elderly cancer patient.

This old man can't read and is losing his mind.

He lost his mind years ago.

He lost his mind years ago.

Awwwww ... he misses yukon.

" Now you did it - Tater will now claim that three is not "several". "

Yeah, his delusion will continue.

For him, the thought that it was proven in front of everyone that he was wrong, will cause him to have an emotional breakdown, or maybe his head will explode !!

He may end up being in a straight jacket before morning.

Oh well, he needs a dose of reality, instead of his little fantasy!

" There were only two Bolivar police officers "

And I repeat: There were only two Bolivar police officers.

Well Tater, I know you hate being wrong …

For I have been wrong before.

I distinctly remember that it did happen once ten years and I can’t recall any time before that.

… but you better watch the video again.

Because I know what I stating is correct.

There were THREE ( 3 ) [Bolivar police officers].

There were ONLY two (2) Bolivar police offices.

One standing near the door, one standing against the wall at the foot of the bed, and one that was active doing the search.

WRONG.

Yes, the person in uniform standing against the wall at the foot of the bed was a Bolivar police officer.

And yes, the person in uniform that was active doing the search was also a Bolivar police officer.

But the person in uniform standing near the door was the Hospital Security Officer.

Sorry Tater !!

But it was nice her hear you say that you are “sorry” anyway.

It was very becoming of you …

I distinctly remember that it did happen once ten years and I can’t recall any time before that [being wrong].

You are a fucking nutcase.

There were THREE ( 3 ). One standing near the door, one standing against the wall at the foot of the bed, and one that was active doing the search.

Now you did it - Tater will now claim that three is not "several".

You are wrong.

I will truthfully state once again that there were only two Bolivar police officers.

Two is a "couple" and more than two or three is several.

[Here is my virtual pat on the head for you].

Of course we don't see the SWAT team in body armor with assault rifles who were likely waiting out in the hall itching to go in and wreak havoc on an elderly cancer patient.

O du lieber Deckard – Is because there were none.

Well, I am sure the citizens of that little berg certainly feel safer after the hero's went after a dying cancer patient.

Why are you so sure the citizens feel safer?

Oh, I guess you can call it a “berg” since Bolivar, Missouri's estimated population is 10,885 according to the most recent United States census estimates.

I would not say about this response by the Bolivar two police officers to a call when a “security guard and a nurse both indicated that ‘complaints’ of marijuana odor prompted them to confront the family and call police” – that they [the police officers] “went after a dying cancer patient.” But you can if you want to – and you did.

Furthermore, I can’t see how the citizens of this “berg” can feel safe anytime when:

Bolivar crime statistics report an overall upward trend in crime based on data from 12 years with violent crime increasing and property crime increasing. Based on this trend, the crime rate in Bolivar for 2019 is expected to be higher than in 2016.

The city violent crime rate for Bolivar in 2016 was higher than the national violent crime rate average by 84.39% and the city property crime rate in Bolivar was higher than the national property crime rate average by 142.78%.

In 2016 the city violent crime rate in Bolivar was higher than the violent crime rate in Missouri by 40.98% and the city property crime rate in Bolivar was higher than the property crime rate in Missouri by 112.57%.

Can you?

They [the police officers] really earned their pay check that night.

With that crime rate, I’d say the really earn their pay check every night.

Ya think?

I would say the citizens of Bolivar feel they do.

And after all, those Bolivar citizens are the only ones who really count in that.

Yeah, his delusion will continue.

It was you who was seeing three Bolivar police officers when there were only two.

Now – Now that’s a delusion.

For him, the thought that it was proven in front of everyone that he was wrong, will cause him to have an emotional breakdown, or maybe his head will explode !!

He may end up being in a straight jacket before morning.

Oh well, he needs a dose of reality, instead of his little fantasy!

I can only wonder why ...

I can only wonder why ...

Because you are a fuckup.

I can only wonder why ...

Because you are a fuckup.

I can only wonder why ...

Because you are a fuckup.

Geesh - have you ever seen a bigger attention whore than Tater? Nobody responds to his posts in five minutes and he has a meltdown.

Have at it ...

The video shows two Bolivar police officers and an officer who was a CMH security guard, present in Sousley's hospital room.

Police are shown searching Sousley's bags. Sousley refuses to let them search one of his bags. He later allowed that.

Off camera, the hospital security officer says, "I smelled marijuana whenever I walked in the room." A nurse also made that report.

Earlier in the video, Sousley admits to consuming something "in the parking lot."

On Saturday, Amber Kidwell and Sousley had been out in the parking lot. She said she smoked a tobacco cigarette and Sousley smoked a Blackstone vanilla tobacco cigar.

They were aware this was against policy at CMH, she said, which has signs indicating it's a smoke-free campus.

In a brief argument with Sousley captured on the video, the officers say they did not plan to take him to jail, but they would issue a citation if they found marijuana in his bags.

The security guard and a nurse indicated that "complaints" of marijuana odor prompted them to confront the family and call police.

The video does not capture a conversation that took place after Sousley stopped filming.

Sousley had CBD oil with him at the time the video was filmed, it was confirmed.

Finding no marijuana in the room, the CBD oil was not confiscated.

So what we have here is a much to do about nothing.

A security officer and a nurse both smelled marijuana in the room and called the police.

The police found none after a search and left leaving the CBD oil with Sousley.

This article and the allegations contained therein is a fucking joke.

Unlike others on LF, I have realized you are a self-aggrandizing asshole spreading for yukon.

I could have easily stretched the exchange out and let you continue with your responses and dig yourself into a much deeper hole. But I decided not to do that because it became too embarrassing for you with your fervently passionate intensity to go after me.

Use this experience as a learning situation and remember to check for facts and that will prevent you from going off on a tangent again. So, shrug it off for tomorrow is a new day and you can start over. Just be more careful to learn the facts before you jump in next tune …

He's a total fag or a basement-dweller, with a high chance of being a redneck and/or skinhead.

Sometimes, the Internet Tough Guy will actually be somewhat "tough." However, this makes him about four times more of a total fag. The sad reality is that these people are a concentrated form of noob, not one of whom can grasp the concept that they obviously are never actually going to be able to make good on their intimidating remarks, or that their low-IQ ramblings do not impress the Internet nor physically affect people on it in any way.

More simply put, when nobodies such as themselves make empty threats and loudmouthed, prick statements to unknown persons whom they have never met and do not know the locations of, it does not equal being a badass, becoming dominant to the other users, nor actually going full ass-rape/ass-kick on someone.

FireIsland is the queen of fag tales

I embarassed [sic] all of you

Learn to spell correctly.

That unkind remark makes you appear to be ridiculously silly and childlike. You need to mature.

You meant to reply to this post by GrandIsland, didn't you Tater?

And you’ve sucked off Dicktard, Hondope and Fred’s AssHertz so often, you have paultard mangoo running out of all of your orifices. It’s why your name is BuckerGoo.

You're an effing hypocrite!

Anyone with this kind of obsession with semen, dicks and men's asses is most likely a closeted homosexual.

And yet you cheer the scatological posts and obvious emotionally-challenged behaviour of the documented sociopath known as GrandIsland.

Then again, being one yourself, you've always sided with the obsessively rude and obnoxious assholes on these fora.

You're an effing hypocrite!

Please be outspoken with your posts. Here is one example:

Gatlin, You are a FUCKIN' hypocrite!

You are are out of your mind.

so he could victimize little children.

Psychological projection is a defense mechanism in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.

For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting.
