Well you all know I`m going to have something to say. Hold on to your seat`s cause here I go :-)
First we all know I`m for the legalization of medical Marijuana. There is alot of good this natural herp can do for people. I did make a statement awhile back I didnt think it did any good for people with CH. I retract this statement. Just like perscripation med`s we try for CH it`s finding that right combo. If it work`s for you I say GREAT. I also agree it is way better than alcohol,some prescription drug`s, and other drug`s that or not of natural form like Meth and other drug`s of this nature.
Now as far as our so called goverment thier logic in not leagalizing Medical Marijuana is the good old "What about our children?" To me they do not have a leg to stand on with this point of view. This is like saying dont legalize an helpfull drug for our children will be out doing it.
Alcohol has been proven to kill more of our children than Marijuana. I`m not saying I want to see our children smoking it. We all know if they want it bad enough they will get it goverment or no goverment. If they think they need to Unlegalize something it should be alcohol. It has and all was will kill more people than marijuana ever thought of. Alcohol is a man made drug. Marijuana is all naturally. I could go on an on about this point, but I think you get the idea.
I personally do not smoke marijuana, but this is something I feel very strongly an compasionet about. I felt compelled to speak out on it. If you would like more information and back ground on this.

Hug`s to all Linda B
