Or that she's not able to walk but pot miraculously cures her and allows her to walk?

From what I understand, the muscles won't relax (whether spasms or just tightened up, I don't know exactly) and allow her to walk. Since pharmaceutical muscle relaxants don't work (or knock her out rather than allow her to walk), I guess you could call it miraculous, but that's just a semantic point.

Beats me. I don't have near enough information about your "friend" to make an educated guess about her motivations for smoking pot.

Yet you presumed to, in your previous post.

Pot is pretty seductive. Those who smoke it think all kinds of things.

I wouldn't know; I've never tried to stuff.

But that does not precludes competence in commenting on the topic.

And has she had scientific testing to determine whether this is a placebo effect? That's what it sounds like to me. People hear about this "miracle" marijuana, smoke it, get high and all of sudden anything is possible.

Sorry, I should have expanded my definition of proponents of medical marijuana.

1. Those who like to smoke pot and want to do so legally.
2. Leftists who want to legalize pot to hasten the demise of a faith based, capitalistic society.
3. Those who have been duped by the first two groups.

I guess not. But keep in mind that it's not harmless and it's not the miracle cure the left tries to convince us it is.
