Oregon and several other states allow medical marijuana. do you think its ok? ARe patients a bunch of pot heads or are they really using this as a medication?

No, there are better alternatives out there actually. Pot isn't all that great. People that are pro-medicinal marijuana glorify what it does pretty much. Look up what it is used for.
If people think it's so great, doctors can perscribe THC pills but not the marijuana itself. Pretty much the same effect

I do believe it should be legal, not just as medication. I live in Oregon, we are not a bunch of potheads, as some may think. Many who live here, enjoy alternative lifestyles, but that can be said for many others, in many countries. Pot helps with muscle spasms, triggering appetite(because when you are in severe pain, you don't get hungry,you are fighting the pain)to help nourish the body, getting restful sleep,helps with nausea, another side effect of pain and the medication used to control pain. There are many more reasons why it should be legal for medical purposes. Oregon does allow for it's use, however, you have to locate the doctor/s who prescribe, you don't just go to your g.p. and ask for an ounce of some chronic. There are forms/regulations that must be followed, many hoops to jump. Hope you enjoy my take on your question.

NO.... I think marijuana Should just be classified an herb or plant.. and not be classified as a drug at all..They make a lot of money of "pot" by classifying it as a drug legal or illegal.. Its a natural plant and therefor you should be able to grow it like any other plant or herb..but that's just my opinion

Yes, I think it should be a legal medicine. It is often the only thing that helps with chronic pain or nausea from chemo.

Any schmoe with a partial eco-friendly thumb can improve and harvest it. the place does that depart vast pharmaceutical companies? that is precise contained in the welfare line by way of fact they might lose a gaggle of shoppers. Now we will not have that could we?
