I don't have much problem with the legality of marijuana. If people want to do it fine, but I'm getting tired of all this BS about all the "benefits" of the drug. People take marijuana to get high. That's the appeal of it. Yes, it does have some medical uses, but there are far better drugs out their to treat glaucoma, nausea, and appetite.sonicareYou miss the point of medical marijuana. Drugs work differently for every patient. For a sub-population of patients, marijuana is the best drug for their particular position. They may not have responded well to opiates to treat their pain. For these patients, marijuana is the best medicine for them and they shouldn't suffer from arrest because they are following their doctor's orders to use the best medicine available to alleviate their symptoms. I leave you with this study: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/12/AR2007021201332.html "AIDS patients suffering from debilitating nerve pain got as much or more relief by smoking marijuana as they would typically get from prescription drugs -- and with fewer side effects -- according to a study conducted under rigorously controlled conditions with government-grown pot."
