They are correct. If people want to escape reality by using drugs or getting drunk, then do it, but don't call it medicine, or medical treatment. Call it for what it is: getting high and getting drunk.
It has both.
As well as one that's not being discussed. Spiritual significance. Many religions use mind altering substances to achieve an altered state of consciousness.
If you don't want to use it, don't use it. But its used to treat other things than nausea in cancer patients. What about people who want to use it rather than anti-depressants? I used it medicinally right after my sister nearly died in a car accident to treat my depression and anxiety. I managed to continue running my businesses successfully. There were days where I didn't want to get out of bed.
Also, you don't have to smoke it to consume it. You can eat it as well.
Since marijauana is such a cure-all, a magical herb, how about eliminating Medicaid and Obamacare and just give the welfare types all the marijuana they want? They might not actually be cured but they won't care.
I am not a pro-pot legalization proponent but I find the hypocrisy astounding that on one hand the DEA is granting licenses to Big Pharma to produce medical marijuana and on the other the FDA claiming it has no medicinal use. It's all about the $$.
You can count Ohio in with that. We couldn't even get medical weed on the ballot here!
I don't understand why elected politicians are so adamantly opposed to legalizing medical marijuana, unless they and their families have been abundantly blessed with great health with little pain, and so can not feel empathy for those who can't say the same.
This kills me. I love how people that want to smoke weed just love to push weed cure all, its like snake oil!
When I had cancer every pothead friend of mine gave me weed. I decided to research and see if it was worth doing. I mean smoking weed should be fun(i had smoked previously in my life). My conclusions between cancer mssage boards, reports, and my doctor.....
Don't do it. It may interfere with some of my drugs, it will through off the blood tests that were being used to track my tumor markers, which in turn makes prescribing chemotherapy doses a lot harder, and potentially would require the doc to error on the highside giving you more chemo then needed and uneccesarrily making you sick.
Also I don't k.ow how anyone can logically say inhaling the fumes of anything burning is not just "not harmful" but actually "good" for you. What other thing in the world does anyone agree breathing.g the fumes of it burning is "good" for you. A forest fire is natural.... But smokeinhalation is harmful.

You just gave a good reason for legalizing marijuana. So it's claims for cures and disease treatment can be more freely researched to confirm if they're true, or just a scam.
