I have heard of studies where people afflicted with Bi-Polar disorder were helped with their mood shifts by using medicinal cannabis... and that I am happy for instead of all the man made drugs with adverse/ possibly life threatening side effects.
I would have to expand that to physical attributes medically as well...
I have an Uncle and cousin who are overwhelmed with Tourettes disorder, and they each self medicate with cannabis,and you can certainly tell, other than red eyes and hunger, that the effects are positive with their 'ticks' not being as noticeable, and the relaxing of their muscles makes them more in control in handling objects that those without Tourettes take for granted.
I do not use cannabis, but I support the medical benefits derived from it.
Recreational use leaves me wary to support, because as with all things, there is a down side of those who use it as an excuse to not be employed due to restrictions of urinalysis. Although legalizing it would become a means of income for them in sales. I sincerely doubt that will ever happen, because everyone would want to earn an income that way!

I have severe anxiety.... I used to smoke before I became pregnant and at that time that I was smoking (8 years) my anxiety basicly dissappered. I always had a good job and never smoked while working but as soon as i got home (shazam) I would always burn one.
When I became pregnant I quit and waited until I had the baby to smoke again, but the high was different and seemed to bring on my anxiety, (probably cause im a mommy and I have a huge responcibility) My point is my anxiety has returned since I do not smoke anymore.
Pot I belive definatly has many medical advantages that are worth being looked into buy our country.
But im sure the government is makeing alot more money off it being illeagal than legal...

Cannabis does not only need to be legalized, it needs to be made mandatory....the world would be a better place if the all rocked the gange a little more.
