your opinion on medical marijuana?

Question

i am for medical marijuana..i use it instead of antidepressants and mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder and i have never felt better..i wanted to see if anyone is doing the same thing because i've been hearing about a lot of people starting to do that..
i think i get in trouble because i'm 18 and they think i'm being a stupid teenager
i just wanted to hear other opinions?

& i also battle anorexia and the only time i eat is when i'm high
the pills i take have much worse side effects [short term and long term] and i've been taking at least 5 meds since age 12 and every month i go back to the doctor there is a new side-effect..so each time my meds change and i never feel okay.
yeah maybe marijuana is illegal and makes you a little stupid and all that stuff..i'm just trying to make myself feel better . nothing else works and i'm not hurting anyone it only affects me.
thats the only way i don't want to kill myself

Answer 1

I think it should be legalized. Have you ever heard of someone dying from doing marijuana? No, but people die everyday from smoking cigarettes and drinking booze but they don't ban that sh**t do they? It's amazing to me what hypocrites this country is made of.

Answer 2

1. A, no it should not be legal for possession. 2. E. I do not see how inhaling smoke into your body along with countless other things can be beneficial to your health but consuming it in another form such as tea could possibly be beneficial to your health. 3. C. Doesn't really matter, at this point most kids have their mind made up on their feeling about marijuana. 4. It doesn't solve anything and despite what everyone has to say it is a gateway drug, you built up a tolerance and move on to something stronger, all it will do is cause problems. On top of that we'll have to deal with people driving under the influence of marijuana. This isn't going to solve any problems. On top of this it has recently been proven to increase the chances of testicular cancer in males.

Answer 3

Well, I am for medical marijuana because I simply think that marijuana is the safer alternative than any other method such as taking pills. Marijuana can treat sick patients with HIV and AIDs and they have effects that are better than other types of medication. It's almost like a all-in-one medication. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that marijuana has less toxic than a medicine-pill or simply a cup of coffee.

Answer 4

I have no doubts the marijuana makes you feel stable, however, my concerns? What happens when the moderation you smoke it, needs to be more? I don't think your being a stupid teenager. I lost my best friend, who smoked the ganja. He was bipolar, and the ganja leveled him out. The day he could not find a seller, he killed himself. What are you going to do when you can't find someone who has it? I think you need to find another resource to help you out. They are so big now on seek and destroy, just make sure you have a back up when you can't find your help. I believe in the power of weed, however, the officials, want those who can grow it, punished. Why? BECAUSE ITS SO EASY TO GROW AND HARD TO TAX!!!!!!

Answer 5

Well i have seen some cases in which i think medical marijuana has helped people get over some personal issues. However, in most cases people who tend to use it for medical purposes can take it the wrong way. Some of them take it as an addiction after wards. But if you can manage to only use it for medical purposes, hey go for it. Its better than using regular depressants.

Answer 6

I'm for it, and i know that it makes you feel better than taking pills, i wanted to take the natural approach too lol seriously though, there is nothing wrong with it. You don't do much besides sit around and laugh at stuff and eat unlike drunk people who kill and rob people!

Answer 7

i think that medical marijuana can be helpful in certain circumstances, such as glaucoma, cancer, etc. i think that it's best left to a physician to prescribe the medication. the problem is that even though it makes you feel better, you are participating in an illegal activity. you don't need the stress of being arrested, etc. for now, you should rely on medical rx for your condition. in the meantime, i agree that if legalized, this might be a good option for you.

Answer 8

I've never used marijuana, nor am I completely familiar with its pharmaceutical benefits, but I am greatly opposed to the government stopping any substance from being used for research or medical purposes.

Answer 9

Long term use causes instability in the production of natural mood stabilizers. Basically, unless you increase the dosage or potency of the reefer your puffin on, your going to be a loser hippy in 10 years, with no motivation or drive in life. Probably fat too - but until they offer us another alternative, puff away broheim.

Answer 10

i think marijuana should be legal to all and allowed for all it helps people to eat there moods and calmness sleep and appetite and the state would be able to have more taxes coming in and make more money for government and would have room in jails and prisons for rapist to children adults and child and woman abusers and federal offenses robbers muggers thieves so forth. and for harder core drugs being sold would have room in prisons for and also the murders and stuff would have more room in jails and prisons if marijuana was legal to all medical and non medical
