Maybe our NIH will finally get started on this topic, and tell the DEA to stifle itself.

Bunk. The cops at the DEA know better and they say it has no medical use. Period. End of story.

As a person who has known several close relatives/friends who died of and survived cancer, I can say the effects are positive. Marijuana helps with the chemo sickness and weight loss. For those with terminal cancer, then addiction will not be a problem is it? They’re dying and only the most obtuse uncaring person would deny them whatever relief they can get. Marijuana does not have the side effects of powerful pain relievers where you don’t know what day it is or whom your family are. The positives outweigh the negatives.

It has been known for decades that cannabis helps ease the side effects of chemo, the other information is interesting.

Oh yeah? Then how come it hasn't yet removed THIS cancer or its side effects?

Researchers also announced man is the cause of global warming, milk causes cancer and it takes a village to raise a child.... are we picking and choosing which researcher we believe?

Maryjane isn’t addictive. I quit smoking the stuff thirty years ago and never missed it.

Take a THC pill then.
There are 1000 chemicals in marijuana and I am sure that smoke in the lungs is so healthy.

It must be addictive in some way, I know many people that have been unable to give it up although it was illegal, people who have broken drug laws for 45 years, people who have lost their military careers because they needed it and could not stop.
A lot of the people here who are on the surface, law-abiding conservatives, who need clean records to live, will admit that they continue to use, decade after decade, close call, after close call, risk, after risk.
They are not ‘addicted’, yet they can’t stop, no matter the cost or what things that they must do outside of the law to stay supplied, even when traveling, and the horrors of the beheading, fish hook hanging in national parks, drug lords that they support does not overcome that need.

I know a guy who couldn't give up running. He had to have his "fix" every day, rain or shine. He kept at it even after his doctor told him he was destroying his knees, until he finally did.

I know a cancer patient/survivor and according to her she uses a fairly sophisticated vaporizer, where there is virtually no smoke and screens out much of that stuff.

It’s hard to swallow a pill and keep it down when your problem is severe nausea.

so why is the actual pill which is ALREADY available. Potheads use this outlyer to justify recreational use.
If this was a legit actual proven medical use there is no need for pothead stores with a pretext. Doctors would perscribe it and it would be purchased at the pharmacy. (and there would be automatic license suspensions for those thus perscribed)
