I believe it. It's not painkillers, but I know a couple who used to drink fairly heavily and hadn't used cannabis for twenty years.

They were reintroduced to it a couple of years ago and now barely drink at all.

They use in moderation and seem much happier, even though the prohibitionists would never believe it.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Let's do the math... a natural, non-addictive substance, with no risk of overdose or a highly addictive opiate where the potential for abuse and overdose is huge? Legalization is going to happen. It's only a matter of time. Me thinks that the prohibitionists will need to find a new hobby, or something else to get their panties in a wad about.

It's just a harmless weed, natural, provided by Mother Nature that should and will be legalized. For some it improves focus and clarity as it affects everyone in different ways as do all things in nature.

In my experience with it, it definitely can be a mind opening experience. Think of this, where would some of the best music be with out it?

Acetaminophen overdose or triggered liver failure kills almost 1000 Americans every year but yet any kid can buy it off the shelf. Anything that reduces the interactions or use of that is fine by me.

Yeah, my built in bulls*** detector regarding the propaganda surrounding the prohibition of cannabis went off years ago!
