problem with marijuana: Possibly addictive (psychologically not physically, aka the addiction is all in your head)
problem with painkillers (such as oxys and hydros): Absolutely addictive, extensive rehab needed to safely take someone off of them, aka PHYSICALLY addictive
marijuana should be moved from the schedule one drug list to the level three, yet there is much resistance against changing it to even the level two list! you know who believes that it should stay, the DEA! who believes that the widespread use of marijuana disproves the animal testings that show that it is NOT addictive.

marijauna has medical use for glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, and cancer.
why is it that prescribing marijuana is viewed as malpractice when narcotics are A Okay?

For the first bit that I came off of the narcotic pills I was irritable and had a headache and felt like ****. No if I was an addict I would be stealing for oxys and the sort, you see I craved them after I ran out of my prescription, but I manage to stay drug free. So no, I am no addict, I even have beer that has been in my fridge for at least a week, that is more than quite a few people can say.

I agree, I agree, I agree! My doctor recently gave me Vicodin and Flexeril for a back injury and I felt like I was going to die from a drug overdose. I only took a couple of each, to much after affects for me. I've been taking plain old Ibuprofen ever since. I don't believe that marijuana is addictive, but it is habit forming. Most of my friends smoke weed like cigarettes, but I can tell it's because that's what they're used to and not because it's an addiction. Because anytime one of them has to quit to get a job that requires drug testing, they do with no problems or ill effects. So I know they weren't addicted it was just part of their routing.

If weed was legal the government would loose so much unaccounted for money. Where do you think the money REALLY goes from a drug bust.

Good question. But a more important question is, are you an addict and what is your drug of choice?

You can't grow your own oxycodone or hydrocodone. If Pfizer or Merck were the only source for marijuana, it would be legal tomorrow.
