Recipe by BLU_17
"A great, quick and easy recipe for Yorkshire pudding. Everybody loves 'em!"
Watch video tips and tricks
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
This was the first time I made yorkshire pudding. I was always afraid to atempt it because my friend said that it was so hard and a pain to make. This was wonderful and so easy. I did make a change though, I wanted to use beef drippings and didnt have any. So I first melted 4Tbsp shortening and 1tsp of beef soup base (powder) in the microwave. Then I put that mixture in the muffin tins instead of margerine. It gave them the wonderful flavor of using traditional beef drippings! Thanks for the reciepe. My family loved them.
This recipe is quick and easy, but has the wrong temp. You have to have the oven HOT for the first 5 to 10 minutes to get the Yorkshire to pop, then lower it. Will try again using a higher temp.

This recipe was definitely quick and easy. The only thing my boyfriend and I found wrong with the finished product was the very dominant taste of egg. Other than that, a great recipe.
This recipe is fantastic!! I do not like eggs and these puddings are not eggy at all (imo). They are light and fluffy and did not fall when taken out of the oven. I have tried dozens of recipes in the past 2 years and this one is by far the best.
I'm so happy with this recipe. When I lived in England I could make perfect yourkshire puddings. Due to the altitude change in Canada I've had no success in 8 years, trying countless variations of yorkshire pud recipies, until I tried this one. Thank you for sharing this recipe, it makes perfect yorkshires.
After having tried many yorkshire pudding receipes, this one was not only the easiest, but the best tasting. My family raved, this one's a keeper!!
Amazingly yummy! My dad says they are just as good or better than his moms :) Because of a dairy allergy I use rice milk in these and you can't tell at all. These have a place in my permanent cookbook, and I will be giving my own kids this recipe when they move out!
Very good recipe. Something that should be considered is to let your eggs come to room temperature before making. When cooking the yorkshire will rise and puff higher.

Weekend Open Forum: Time to cut the cable TV cord?
Granted, there are going to be trade-offs as not everything is available online -- at least not legally. But with cable and satellite bills going up every year, and the fact that a lot of people probably watch less than a dozen channels from their 150+ channel packs, something's gotta give. Then there's the fact that with the digital TV switchover last year, those in the U.S. can enjoy some pretty good quality over-the-air broadcast channels for free using HD antennas.
We don't expect people to cut the cord in droves just yet, as for the most part, 'normal' people simply cant be bothered with setting things up or learning a new device. But being the tech-savvy folks you are, we want to ask you: are you ready to give up cable? Or if you've already done so, what is your current setup?
User Comments: 57
Got something to say? Post a comment-
Gave up cable several years ago... 7 million channels and nothing is on!
I actually gave up cable this year. Only person watching cable was my sister. Now we just live off of websites that post TV shows legally and/or illegally.
Just gave it up about two weeks ago. Still getting used to not just plopping down in front of the tv, but it's worth it to save a hundred a month.
Not quite ready to pull the plug completely until sporting events are available.
Epic pic.
I was never really a TV watcher. Only things I use to watch were battlestar galactica, stargate, and star trek. I would say that I "gave up" TV about 5 years ago. If I want to watch something I go to netflix. If they don't have it then I go do something productive.
You'll be going back to Cable or a dish network soon enough. Net neutrality was killed. Bandwidth throttling, caps, and overage charges are definitely coming.
SuddenLink recently sent out this email to its users:
"Much like electric usage is measured in kilowatts, and water usage is measured in gallons, Internet usage is measured in gigabytes (GB). If you used 25 GB in a given month, you would be able to send or receive more than 1.5 million emails, or download more than 6,500 songs, or watch more than 150 hours of YouTube videos.
Different customers use a different number of GB each month. For typical usage ranges, visit suddenlink.com/usage/faq.
If your account is using substantially more than the typical range, it could mean several things. For instance: a virus or "spyware" application might have infected your computer and started generating high levels of Internet traffic, or someone else might be using your Internet connection without your knowledge. We provide an online resource to help you guard against such things.
If you haven't already done so, register your account at suddenlink.net. When finished, click the link for "My Internet Usage Summary." If you're already registered at suddenlink.net, log on, go to "My Account," and then click the link for "My Internet Usage Summary."
At any given point in a monthly cycle, you will be able to see how many GB you have used, and compare that usage to the typical range for your package. You will not be able to see how many GB other customers are using, nor will they be able to see how many GB you are using. Each customer will only be able to see his/her usage versus the typical monthly range.
Toward the end of the monthly cycle, if you see that your usage is within or slightly above the typical range, you probably do not need to take any action. However, if you see that your usage is well above the typical range, you may want to check out the series of suggested steps we provide at suddenlink.com/usage/hints-tips, to help make sure your computer and Internet account are protected and secure.
More information is available at suddenlink.com/usage.
Thank you for choosing Suddenlink as your Internet service provider."
25Gb in a month. If you purchase games through Steam or another download service, you could hit that mark pretty quick. Updating your games, your operating system, and watching movies on Netflix will certainly bring you to that limit.
Comcast has a 250Gb limit on their premiere service. At least, that's more acceptable. It would be hard for any normal user to hit that. www.comcast.net/terms/network/amendment/
Anyway, just keep an eye on your Terms of Service for whichever cable company/telephone company you use for internet access.
it doesn't mean you can't get the same content in other ways just because companies started capping bandwidth. i god fed up with increasing cable bills years ago and canceled it. ever since i've been watching live HD tv, blu-ray, netflix, hulu, all on my HTPC. everything in one box. over the air HD broadcast get me all the basic channels, while netflix and hulu cover the rest. blu-ray is just an enjoyment. all without paying a dime to cable TV. i can record, rewind, and schedule for recordings through my HTPC. all this innovation because consumers finally got fed up with increasing cable bills.
I haven't had cable in 5 years and the only thing I miss are some of the shows on the Food Network. I've been able to download and buy boxsets of most of the shows I want to watch.
I've been subscribed to netflix since they started offering it in Canada. It's a great service and I look forward to them continuing to expand their content.
I've already been informed by my isp that in an event that they have to institute a bandwidth cap, that they'll offer be 200GB a month for only $5 more. If the price of internet access truly gets out of hand, I'll go back to reading books and watching the 300+ Dvd's I own.
Wish I could, but since I'm an avid sports fan that won't happen anytime soon =/. However I still watch quite a bit of online video regularly.
@impcfast Since Suddenlink considers their service comparable to a utility all of a sudden, you should inform them that you expect their services to be regulated as such then by your local public utility commission .
But I get your point, with so many television providers also servicing Internet which they fear, more and more will start limiting access to it. Like AT&T just did with articles coming out this week of them planning to impose caps and overages. It's such a farce and I hope the average consumer stands up against these companies like they did with Time Warner or we're in serious trouble going back in time with the way we use the internet.
TV in general is mostly obsolete for me. I can get my news and weather online very easily. TV shows... well I'm not a huge TV show person, but for stuff I am interested in, I'm happy to wait until they're all online or on netflix (commercial free for the win). I just finished the last season of Lost at the end of last year... it was epic
My cables are cut!
cable TV companies will not give up easily, they don't care if they are selling Out Houses and you have in door plumbing. They have lawyers and plenty of money on there side. WE should be way more powerful then they are but they keep us divided by our own greed, ignorance and stupidity.
I gave up on TV long time ago. It is absolutely pointless and definitely in Europe.
Series I want to watch in original dub (as all movies) so I have the option to buy DVD or download.
On the other hand only thing I miss is sport... motogp I love, but I am buying full season video passes since 2006.
I watch Tennis and some other sports in illegal way indeed quality is quite low and bandwith is limited lots of time...
To be honest a good online sport channel for ~30?/mo would be a fantastic stuff.
Cable companies already have lobbysists in washington working on letting ISP's limit our internet in what would be considered criminal ways atm. But in a few years you will have to choose between pricey unthrottled internet and ISP filtered limitnet.
People will likely either have cable+limitnet or pricey internet and get all the tv viewing via the net.
My habits for consuming video content (TV shows, movies, etc.) have changed dramatically in the last few years. At least half of it is downloaded/streamed, so I can watch whenever I want.
I still pay for cable but again almost everything I watch on TV is recorded for later using a DVR. Most of the live TV I watch is either news or sports broadcasts and even on those I prefer to be a bit late, so I can fast forward commercials.
I don't and will never subscribe to cable to be fed advertising every five minutes as well as pay a subscription. The only money my cable provider gets from me is for my internet connection.
gave up TV long time ago. almost all shows I watched are downloaded, so I can watch anytime, without ads, and with subtitle if i needed.
Gave the cable up long time ago. As one of the posters above already said - nothing's on and when there actually is, you spend twice as much time watching than you would without commercials. There's three LCD TV's in my apartment but I'm yet to try streaming any films or series off the Internet. Until then I'm going to use them just to play blu-ray discs, watch live news streams like I do now or - my favourite - use them as a virtual aquarium/fireplace background. =)
From the reactions I read in here it does look like I should give streaming shows and movies a gander at least.
As the article mentions, the US has several alternatives. Other places less so. I don't expect it will be practical to switch here in Israel for quite a few years.
lets not forget about dial up and how isp's used to charge by the hour on that,that will never happen with broadband because so many people will end up leaving and finding other ways to get content...these caps there putting on right now will eventually either go away or they will offer more bandwith for a price like other posters have said...im on comcast with 250gb a month,i use netflix as my main way of watching things,i diteched cable like 3 or 4 months ago
ditched cable
There is less and less that cable has to offer that interests me. At this moment AMC HD is playing info-mercials, as are National Geographic and Discovery, etc. The entire Discovery network now shares content across most of their channels ... if you like American Chopper then they've got you covered. Sports are the main reason why I still have cable, even that is getting harder to justify.
I just fired Comcast in January. They were getting too expensive and I was watching less and less content. And what little I was interested in I prefer catching the DVD without commercials. I pretty much have all my needs met through Netflix and Redbox. The one show I do like on network TV is House and I just catch it on Hulu a week later. And for the record when I cancels cable comcast raised my internet bill to 72.00 a month. Well their fired for internet service also. I just switched to DSL for 39.95 a month and the speed is about the same. Stick it in your arse Comcast!
I recently learned cable costs over a hundred dollars a month. I can't believe anyone is THAT stupid. I think it seems pretty stupid to pay 50 bucks a month for TV. I was raised on OTA and I'm now an avid Hulu user. I worry the internet will become subject to overages and caps and that will be a sad day. I hate corporate greed.
Lucky you, you Yanks. No way UK residents could switch away from satellite/cable 'cos there's no real alternative. Well, you could use Sky's online thing, but it costs just as much as the real deal.
But how can ou all cope without all the sports?
I recently purchased a Roku streaming video box, and it is pretty nice to be able to stream shows off the internet. The quality is not as good as regular tv(might be my internet speed), but this service has a lot of potential. Early this week though, after I disconnected DirecTV, I heard that AT&T is going to cap their high speed internet service to 150G a month starting May 2. That will stop a lot of people from cutting their services.
So as you can see, the major players are going to put up a fight to keep people from going to streaming video as long as they can. That way they can squeeze every last penny out of our wallets.
What @Timonius said. Gave it up some years ago when legislated legal monopolies kept the prices unrealistically high. I didn't mind, back when my cable company reinvested and bandwidth kept rising, but when they stopped increasing bandwidth in favor of just increasing the price I quit in disgust. Worst example of "free enterprise" as dogma, not practice, I'd seen to that point. I guess with profits soaring they could buy more members of congress and senators.
In my country Broadband its tooo slow..... so my cable will still there for a long time!
@impcfast: So.... they are comparing water and electricity to a non-existant never-ending cost-free (We are not taking into account the WAN used to give the internet because you are paying a monthly fee for "maintainance", we are measuring the GBs, how much is 1gb worth to one of this retarded companies?) resource?
My only hope is that they get sued so bad they have to give free services to low income families.
I have ditched cable myself. I was astonished to find out that my 20mbps down/2mbps up cable internet was 10 dollars CHEAPER than the BASIC cable my local company was offering. Absolutely ridiculous.
Even my parents ditched it and they were born in the fifties, at the absolute zenith (pun intended) of television and cable soon to follow. 48 dollars for basic cable when I could get my aforementioned cable internet for 37, which is a much much greater value? They are out of their minds.

Edit: My parents basically had enough when they seen their bill sitting at 200 dollars (cable internet, cable tv, phone) and once they added on a few DVR boxes and the such. Thanks to the companies greed now they are getting at best 40/month from them for the internet.

If you get an HD antennae you can get some local channels that are basically local news, sports, and a few sitcoms.
Eh, I watch Hockey and American Football now and then as well as collegiate sports, no real alternatives for that atm. I also like to use the TV as background noise, nor are any of the channels I actually watch available over the air or online (except Comedy Central, a TON of that is available online). So I am basically stuck. Either way... I should give the cable company a call.
Well, I too watch most of my shows on hulu or some other site where the eps have been upped to fileshare services. But, I need my cable tv specifically for the sports: NASCAR and NFL. If it weren't for those sports, I wouldn't have need of cable either except for internet.
Last week on the dailytech news website, they had a story about ATT dsl/Uverse subscribers being capped. So, even if you leave Cable for a different ISP source, you're still looking at usage limitations. ATT looks as if they're about the same as Comcast in the amount of bandwidth though.
And I agree with those of you who said these type of limitations takes us back to the stone age of the internet. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that we'll see limitations go away any time soon.
Just ditched Comcast last month and I'm not missing it very much. I realized I was watching Netflix all the time. Netflix is $8/month and Comcast was $80/month for "basic" cable with a crappy DVR and crappier HD. I do miss late night TV but some of that seems to be on Hulu Plus. I'll be looking into that option soon.
I gave up cable a while ago - Internet-based television is simply sooo much cheaper. Cheaper = free if it's on YouTube . So instead of cable, I use a 3G-uplink.
I got rid of cable 3 years ago, and only use the TV for movies. HTPC in my future.
one word:
Ditched TV in 2005, lol.
For sports I got to bars or a friends house.
The main problem I saw with regular TV is that I couldn't watch shows I wanted to watch at a time convenient for me without commercials.
Gave up cable 2 years ago. I liked the digital tv conversion because we live near Chicago and get free over the air broadcasts in sharp hd. Sports are plentiful on the weekends, so I see no need for cable. We have att dsl and that's getting capped, but I guess being a volunteer librarian I just don't watch that much tv, including streaming tv. The next improvement in this house (condo) was to get Ooma phone service which costs $12 a year for a landline. Frys has that. Instead of watching tv, I keep up on the latest tech reading Techspot.
They should call it "Comcast Cable Commercial" it is no way Comcast Cable tv, Cause the commercials amount to the same running time as the tv shows or movies...
I am about to cut the Cable tv, and just keep the Internet from comcast.
But when I do cut the cable tv, they said they have to charge me an additional $10.00 a month, because I wont have cable tv ???? what is up with that ...
Talk about getting ripped off ... that should be illegal ... IMHO...
Would work well enough in the US but Canada is pretty stuffed as far as this goes.
Not to mention like another poster said before me, instead of upgrading the internet infrastructure thats mostly based on tech thats 10+ years old they simply want to restrict its use to lower the stress on band with etc.
Here's a crazy idea, how about instead of crippling the internet they spend some money on beefing up the backbone connections and possibly investing in some faster/better ways to transfer data.
Makes complete sense to just integrate tv/movies/phones all into the existing internet framework and be done with all the extra costs of running seperate networks. In almost EVERY future movie thats already the reality and makes perfect sense.
Only problem with this is because i digitally download all my games though steam or Xbox live or even the Playstation store bandwidth caps are not enought here in canada. I have one of the bigger packages now and without streaming I use or exceed my caps now.
I use to have unlimited but apparently Bell or Cogeco (my choices here) do not offer them anymore.
My family gave up cable in 2007; Between Netflix, Hulu and UTorrent we haven't missed anything. We love being able to sit down and watch 8 seasons in a row of any show in without a single advert or menu (the exception being Hulu of course). We own some Disney DVDs for the kids which serve to remind us of how imposing standard media distribution is. I.E. getting 20 minutes of studio promos, previews and adverts forced on you before even getting to the annoying 3d interactive menu. I don't like to feel like I'm being punished for buying a movie, I just want to watch the damn movie I purchased. That's why I pirate! ( a simple titled file that I just click and it plays the said named movie in whichever default media player I like. WOW! what a concept, if only the networks and movie industry could invent something like this in the next 10 years they would be rich!) My children get to watch an interesting time in history for technology : multi-billion dollar industries fail or thrive based on how they fight or embrace the change in end-users needs/wants with non-archaic digital distribution systems for media and entertainment. Meanwhile, greedy ISPs conspire and plot how to exploit and capitalize on the situation so they can bleed every last stone and our government building organizations that get to determine whether you are a jail-worthy criminal because you may have watched or read or posted the wrong image on the interweb that was trademarked, copyrighted or Eula Intellectual Property. I think it should at least be legal to pirate what you have already purchased like I have always done with games, movies and music to avoid constantly switching discs or having an obnoxious disc library in my living room. Just a thought, sorry about the non-thread related tangent.
This is a follow-up of my family giving up cable in 2007. We switched over from residential Comcast service to business class Comcast because business class is 16Mb(or maybe 12Mb) for $65 a month. It has no bandwidth cap so I can frag, download an stream movies 24/7 while my wife remotes into work. They also roll a truck within 4 hours when internet is down, they came out at 1:00 am once on my permission of course. The only downside is I can't download torrents and receive low ping for gaming simultaneously. I can only stream movies to one PC at a time while gaming if I want a low ping, and MagickJack voip device doesn't work proper during heavy torrents but still works fine while streaming gaming and remoting in.
We use around 250gb a month in downloads and streaming, back at home at least. Not so hard to see with 4 laptops, 5 desktops and a htpc running netflix. I've even gotten a call from comcast after a deactivation to ask what was I doing. After further investigation I was found not guilty of running any illegal websites, ie child pornography, torrent sites(and yes that was said to me.) I dont watch so much tv anymore. With school and working with my dad I barely have time to get on TS.
Never had cable!!! Laugh Out Loud!!!
I have not had cable, dish, etc for many years now. I simply use broadcast TV (I live in a Metro area so I have a good selection of programs). My spouse watches a lot of TV over the internet which adds to what we get over the air.
Dropped dish about 3 months ago (best thing I have ever done), only watch OTA channels and Netflix. Built HTPC that is DVR, and media server, and also have PlayOn installed, using HD Homerun tuners to stream tv channels to others rooms.
ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX is all I watch..oh ESPN and NFL...
Dammit ..Need to Figure a way around the last 2 and I'm good.

This dress is fun.
By Red

This dress is fun and stylish. I really like the belt too. I am not crazy about the sleeves,but I will keep it because it is cool.

Just stunning!
By Muneera
from Kitchener, Ont.
I bought both and mustard and the burnt orange. I love them both. Love the belts as well. You can wear them as necklaces and put a nice thick black belt on the waist. That's how I wore mine with a pair of black leggings. I got a lot of compliments while I was in the mall. What I love about the tunic is the length and the sleeves. Thank you Marallis! You've done it again!

I bought this dress in mustard, an unusual (nice) shade. While it is too short to wear as a dress at my age, I will wear it as a tunic combined with leggings in different colours. The cut is also perfect for a wide palazzo pant, since I bought it in a smaller size to fit snugly from the waist up.The cute belt looks like tiny white ceramic tiles that can also be worn as a necklace.Lots of flexibility with this well-priced item.

Horse Sense: James Keown's powdercoating sideline business goes by the name of JD Custom Coatings.
We all have our reasons for messing with Mustangs. For some, it's a matter of speed; others have visions of slot-car handling, while still others simply want to possess the coolest, flashiest ride in town. And yeah, there's usually a little ego thrown into the mix, and that's OK. The point is that everyone approaches a Mustang project with his or her own goals in mind. Some are more altruistic than others…
Pewee Valley, Kentucky's James Keown owns this nattily attired Fox ragtop. It may not be the fastest or best handling Mustang in the land, and it certainly isn't burdened with excess bling, but this '91 LX has without question achieved the number one goal James had in mind when he started with it.
"Growing up," says James, "I had always loved the Mustang and always wanted one. I had a good man who taught me a lot about cars: my grandfather. He was everything to me. I knew that one day, if I ever had a son, what I wanted to do was the same thing my grandfather had done for me. That was to teach how to work on and fix up cars. After my first son was born, I knew one day we could do that. When he got a little older, I was looking for a notchback when we came across this little white convertible. It was in pretty good shape, and was white with a white top. Even though I didn't care for that white top, I knew we could change it (and we did.) We drove it around for about a year or so until we decided to do some little mods to it…"
Before delving into those "little mods," something you may have noticed about the preceding paragraph is James' frequent use of the pronoun we. That's because this whole project has been a team effort with his son Joey, who was just nine years old when the then-white ragtop was acquired back in 2002. James had originally planned to really only use the car to introduce to Joey the basic kinds of repairs and automotive common sense that his grandfather had taught him. However, the convertible project—which ended up taking about seven years to complete—took on a life of its own. It also, apparently, helped cement this father/son bond. In the process, it became a darned tasteful ride.
In the course of our conversations, we asked James about his choice of a turbo as power-adder, instead of one of the many more common supercharger kits. Turns out that was almost a "business decision." Seems that, as he and Joey worked through the aesthetic portion of their Mustang's revival, it was decided that some parts would best be powdercoated, so James went out and picked up "a cheap powdercoating kit and a used oven" and started practicing. Word soon got around about his abilities to put a durable coating on bits and pieces.
Meanwhile, an acquaintance had started Quicktime Turbo Systems and soon asked whether James could do some ceramic coating of turbo kit components. Well James was certainly willing to learn the ceramic side of things, and thus eventually became the ceramic coater for Quicktime's down-pipes and other kit hardware. All of which pretty much explains why there's a Quicktime T70-based hairdryer warming the stock innards of his 302, and why the handsome ragtop has run as quickly as 7.47 at 92.3 mph in the eighth-mile.
And, yes, it is handsome, detailed in a way almost guaranteed to catch a magazine editor's jaded eye. When the 302 was out for freshening, James got to staring at the ugly engine bay, with its factory collection of Swiss-cheese holes and wiring harnesses. Luckily, he has some talents with both welder and grinder, and soon set about smoothing the inner fenders and firewall. Look closely and you'll see that he also found ways to hide most of the wiring, while also taking the opportunity to substitute a lightweight UPR tubular K-member and A-arms, along with the company's coilovers, in place of the original stuff.
Before Jeremy Dewitt painted the LX a DuPont hue close to factory Dark Shadow Grey, James and Joel rounded up a Boss Inc. Cobra R hood, along with a coupe trunklid in order to get rid of the ragtop's factory luggage rack. They did any necessary bodywork prep themselves. Among the last components chosen were the replica 10th Anniversary Cobra rims in a finish that certainly complements the paint and goes along with this convertible's muscular but understated approach.The results of this father and son project go beyond just a great car and enhanced family bonding. James' encouragement of Joey's participation has helped foster a new generation of Mustang enthusiasts, as Joey now has his own SN-95 Mustang project which is proceeding nicely—with Dad's help, of course.

Choop (and others) - I have no intention of spending 90 minutes watching a movie about pot. The effort required would far exceed my care quota for this subject matter.
But I will go out on a limb and guess at the contents of the movie (feel free to correct/complete):
- Hemp is a totally awesome plant with many uses
- MJ was banned for economic reasons relating to hemp, not for any drug concerns
- MJ/THC is an awesome drug
- Synthetic THC just doesn't work as well
- The pharmaceutical companies are conspiring to keep MJ illegal
Pretty close? If so, then I have heard it all before, and am not impressed.
I do not dispute that there is use for the substance. To the contrary, there appears to be a good amount of evidence supporting beneficial use.
And this is the key. This is exactly why the FDA will NEVER approve MJ in its natural form. It is far too unpredictable. Each of those individual compounds needs to be isolated and studied separately. If one or more drugs can be developed that combine some or all the useful elements of MJ (Like Marinol), then those drugs could be approved by the FDA. But an application based on "there are a bunch of things and stuff in the smoke" - not even close. The FDA requires rigorous testing of all active ingredients.
Medical MJ proponents happily point to THC studies to show the usefulness of MJ, but then turn around and say that THC alone isn't enough - they now also need those "other 60-70 cannabinoids." Very convenient, and completely unscientific.
FDA approval of marijuana on this basis would be a massive exception to the entire history of the exception. Medical MJ proponents claim that they are being held back by whatever evil forces and conspiracies, when the truth is that they simply haven't come anywhere near the level of study required for ALL drugs before getting FDA approval. The work was done on THC - and approval was granted. One down, 60-70 to go.
This is not an argument for medical marijuana - it is an argument AGAINST medical marijuana.
And "therapeutic agents" are entirely different from medicine. Physicians might also suggest taking more Vitamin C, getting more exercise and cutting the red meat. If we are to think of marijuana as MEDICINE (as opposed to a "nutritional supplement," for instance, then physicians will (and should) apply their full level scrutiny, and marijuana will come up short every time. It has known negative effects, and the full effects simply have not been studied.
Different question. General legalization is different from suggesting that physicians prescribe something for medical purposes. Even if marijuana were available at 7-11, it would still be inappropriate for physicians to prescribe it.
Can we agree that it would generally be inappropriate for a physician to prescribe cigarettes for stress?
Not moot at all. Irrelevant for general legalization, yes, but very much the center of the issue when specifically discussing medical marijuana.
There are many things that have some medical benefits, but either are otherwise too harmful, or generally have not been sufficiently studied, to be properly used as medicine.
Medicine is regulated (in the US) by the FDA. If you want to pass something off as medicine, then you need to meet the requirements of the FDA, and marijuana falls way short. Way. Edited by Rambino - 02 April 2009 at 2:04pm |

You bring up very good points regarding FDA regulation. However, there is absolutely no synthetic procedure done to marijuana to develop it as a drug. It is simply plucked from plants, cured, and then smoked, vaporized, or eaten. I am not saying that the FDA should now approve of marijuana as a pharmaceutical drug, and I don't see them ever doing it, however the sole reason the FDA exists is to safeguard the public from harmful and potentially fatal drugs that are manufactured by drug companies. This is a natural product that has been in use for thousands of years, and not a single reported death. There have been numerous studies on it's effects, many of them good, and some of them bad. I am willing to concede that marijuana is in no way a panacea for illnesses that could benefit from its use. I will say, contrarily, that even if the FDA has no business regulating marijuana, that doctors should be able to suggest it's use. The only reason it is currently prescribed is to bypass a bogus federal ban on the substance. If it were legal, a doctor could simply recommend its use. The proponents of "medicinal marijuana" are only in favor of legal prescription because there would be no other way for a patient to obtain and use marijuana in a federally compliant manner.
I can see your trepidations on this matter as well. The only explanation I can offer is that the major cannabinoid is THC, and it has by far the largest effect on the human body. It is logical then that a vast majority of the studies isolate THC primarily to serve as the subject. This is not to say that there has been no research on the other cannabinoids, because there has, but THC is undoubtedly marijuana's greatest asset in terms of medical benefit.
Once again, I'd like to point out a major difference. FDA approval of artificially synthesized drugs differs from a legal distinction that would classify a completely natural substance as okay to use with a doctor's recommendation. I don't think you can classify it as any regular drug.
I feel like I'm rambling, but I like to be thorough, so forgive me if it seems like I'm repeating my points out of sheer pomposity. If marijuana was in a societal classification similar to Vitamin C, then of course, prescription wouldn't be necessary. Physicians already apply their full level of scrutiny, or so I should think, in such matters. It has known negative effects, you're right. These are also sometimes called SIDE EFFECTS. Every drug has them, and I'd say marijuana's are more forgiving by a great deal than many already out there.
The point still stands that a physician would have no need to prescribe it if it were available freely. I am absolutely certain that physicians would recommend its use, however.
I think you misunderstood my point. I'll clarify: if we can establish that marijuana is okay to use for medicinal purposes, then shouldn't a patient have the right to choose by which means they treat themselves? The way you make it sound, the FDA has the absolute say in which medicines we use. If I find a natural substance (that isn't illegal) that would alleviate my pain in a way prescription medication would, does the FDA have the right to tell me I have to buy their endorsed medicine? The answer is no, and I would classify cannabis in this regard. The FDA establishes which drugs are safe to use and regulates which artifical drugs are out on the market. It should have zero jurisdiction in what kind of plant I can grow and use in my backyard.
Which of these are completely illegal? Edited by obnoxious - 02 April 2009 at 3:50pm |

Hey! Yes, I too suffer from migraines...although not insomnia...but I've smoked to relieve my headaches for quite some time...not legally however...but anywho...I support the legalization of marijuana(obviously), hopefully widespread decriminalization will occur over the next 3-5 years.
I've never fully understood the logic behind why pot's illegal...other than the fact that the government banks big off of it...there's no physical dependance, no chance of overdose, and 100% natural and organic...you can't say any of that about alcohol.
Think about what happened during the time of prohibition, all the crime and violence that manifested because of it...it did NOT work!
That's why the government gave up and let the drunks have there booze back...if pot were legal...why would people go to great lengths to smuggle it...why would anyone continue to buy from these huge cartels...they wouldn't...there wouldn't be a need to.
Although I do believe the feds should still regulate it...much like they do with alcohol...plus by taxing it...they'd still be makin' the big bucks off it.
Just think of what the world would be like if everyone smoked......................................hmmm........

That isn't an entirely accurate statement of the FDA's jurisdiction, but close enough. If marijuana were otherwise legal, then it might arguably fall in the same category as St. John's Wort and other "herbal remedies,"in which case it would not fall under FDA jurisdiction. Since marijuana IS illegal, however, FDA approval is one of only a few ways to get by the general ban. Opiates, for instance, are generally illegal but can be used in FDA-permitted contexts.
BUT - once the MJ folks started selling marijuana for its medical benefits, then marijuana fell under the jurisdiction of the FDA. Any substance that is marketed or sold with claims of medical benefits is a "drug" for purposes of the FDA. Read the St. John's Wort labels carefully, and see how they avoid making medical claims - but even so, there has been a push for the FDA to regulate these quasi-drugs.
You can't have it both ways. Either MJ is a medicine or it is not.
Agreed. And as soon as people get around to properly studying the other active ingredients of marijuana, those other ingredients might also get FDA approval, just like THC. But you have to follow the process. MJ does not (and should not) get a free pass. You want to be a medicine? Then you have to pass through the same tests and procedures as every other medicine.
As ye sow, so shall ye reap. It was the marijuana proponents who chose the medicinal route. As I said earlier, the FDA has never approved a plant for prescription. The plant people generally try to avoid the FDA, because they know that they will fail. Plants are inexact and complicated, and generally cannot pass the rigorous tests of the FDA. Individual compounds must be isolated.
Should (in a vacuum) marijuana be regulated by the FDA? Maybe, maybe not. I have no particular opinion on the subject. Yet here we are, and people are specifically pushing MJ as medicine. Medicine means FDA.
You forget who you are talking to... :)
Some more than others...
And for every FDA-approved drug out there, the side effects have been carefully studied and evaluated, and careful disclosure is made with every prescription, by the prescribing physician, the pharmacist, and the drug company. Careful records are kept of drug interactions, and so forth. None of these are the case for marijuana - at least not at this time.
Frankly, I don't think you want marijuana to be "medicine." Prescription drugs are a PITA. They are heavily regulated and controlled, and require extensive ongoing research.
I think I addressed this above. If MJ were not generally illegal, then FDA approval would not necessarily be required. The FDA approval here is sought essentially as a loophole to the general federal prohibition. Of course, by now MJ has basically submitted itself to FDA jurisdiction, so it is possible that even if federal criminal laws were lifted MJ would still be subject to FDA jurisdiction. That would be funny in an ironic kind of way.
Kind of. The whole prescription drug system is build around the idea that we do need to be protected from ourselves in some circumstances. Taking this logic to the final conclusion, no prescriptions should ever be required and Valium and Strychnine should be freely available at the grocery store. That is certainly a defensible position, but it would be a fundamental change in the way we regulate substances.

I have to go to work in a couple of minutes, so I'll just address this point for now if that's fine with you. There is a fundamental difference between Diazepam and Strychnine, and marijuana. With both of the former, there is a very real possibility of an overdose. This is impossible for marijuana. Also, Diazepam (or Valium) can lead to physiological dependence, whereas marijuana cannot. If you take a step back and look at the effects of marijuana, and then these two drugs, you'll see just how mild marijuana actually is. It's strain on the body is not so much a strain at all. Both of your drugs are also synthesized, leading to liabilities that cannot even begin to be covered by a grocery chain. The reason they need to be prescribed is because they have an inherent possibility to be dangerous, whether it is through overuse, overdependence, of just plain old bad manufacturing. This is not a problem with marijuana. Coincidentally, I'm off to work at a grocery store (high school students need money, too). I will try to continue this later! And you are right, it is certainly a defensible position. Even though no grocery store would sell such products because they would not sell in a manner that would be beneficial. |
