I’ve been using medicinal cannabis since 2015. I’m free of depression & anxiety & big pharma meds. I’ve lost 75lbs since I started using cannabis. The quality of my work has improved & I’m getting more work because of it. I’m more active in my parish & I’m thankful to God Almighty for this wonderful plant.

Like anything else, including alcohol, sugar, tobacco, caffeine, cannabis can be abused. Too much of anything isn’t good for us.

I'm willing to consider that point of view, but I am completely and utterly repelled by the pothead Woody Harrelson types, and recent history indicates that medical marijuana is used to ultimately get OTC recreational marijuana. The prescriptions (in California, at least) were a joke, reflecting bad on the doctors who prescribe it on demand, and reflecting bad on the profession as a whole.

Here in Georgia, cannabis oil is legal (with significant Republican support) but that is not enough, and the "medical marijuana" lobby wants more.

Woody Harrelson (I am not a fan) recently announced he no longer uses cannabis. Says he partied too hard for 30 years. Good for him.

I’m perfectly fine with states legalizing recreation cannabis after implementing a medical cannabis program as they are 2 distinct separate things. I think it’s also been a wise move as it shows voters that the world doesn’t come to a crashing end when folks are allowed to use cannabis. In fact, medical marijuana programs have utterly destroyed the Reefer Madness myths, IMO.

Regarding Georgia, I sincerely hope patients in the medical marijuana program are able to use cannabis in a way they, in conjunction with their licensed physician need. For instance, some ALS patience get important benefits from smoking cannabis vs vaping it. Look up Cathy Jordan, a ALS patient who’s outlived all of her doctors because she smokes cannabis daily. http://floridafoodandfarm.com/cannabis/als-patient-cathy-jordan-pot-stopped-my-disease/

As for myself, I HATE the act of smoking cannabis. It stinks, tastes bad to me, hurts my throat, etc... I prefer edibles & vaping. But if smoking helps folks with terminal illnesses, I say let them have it.

Wishing you & yours a great weekend, FRiend!
