Answer 1

of course so write your congress men and woman

Answer 2

Of course!!!! My mom use to work in housekeeping at a hospital, and she told us that the cancer patients are given marijiana cigaretts to relax them and to help patients eat.

Answer 3

As a cancer patient...  YES

Beyond that...   the fda and gov both recognize the medicinal properties of thc as they have made a synthetic thc perscription that costs 10 times what real marijuana costs.  Its called marinol.  http://www.marinol.com

The fight against legal medicinal use is that most people honestly believe it was made illegal based on medical and scientific proof that it was bad bad bad.  When it wasnt.

Its a cop out argument, but even cocain and lsd and heroin can be given medicinally, but not marijuana?

It is not chemically addictive, unlike the meds currently legal such as morphine, oxy, ativan, xanax, other benzodiazapines, steroids, ect.  It is a fraction of the cost of those other meds.  And me personally like to actually know whats going on instead of being so drugged that I have weeks that I dont remember (not because of abuse, that is from doc ordered doses while in the hospital of morphine and ativan. literally, weeks that I dont remember)

Answer 4

Yeah for all uses including recreational. It is a h**l of alot safer than alcohol or tabacco the only reason the government doesnt legalize it is because it would crush the black market which the government is a part of.

Answer 5

yes I would legalize marijuana for medical purpose's.

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

I would just ignore the stupid laws, if everyone had one plant growing it would render the law unworkable.

Answer 8

I would hope that the public could be convinced this is a good idea. The war on drugs is a bigger failure than the mes-0-potamia boondoggle.

Answer 9

Yeah, should definitely be legalised. It's a lot better than alcohol, alcohol is used in cough syrups etc, but alone it has no medical use. It is actually a depressant.

Answer 10

Yes. Hemp, if it were used industrially, would be very, very good for our economy.

It also has heaps of medically uses (as you've listed), and is actually much, much better for your overall health than the abovetheinfluence propaganda would like you to think.

Answer 11

yeah for sure.... i smoke every day and here in california we already have it legal for industrial and medical use. The only reason the government hasn't allowed it is because they dont know how to tax it.
