“Apricot pit extract was once sold as a cure for cancer - a contemptible practice, but hardly a good argument for banning apricots.”

Quite an odd analogy.

I understand the lack of logical thinking and rational thought on the part of the liberals, who pioneered the call for pot as panacea.

But it’s sad to see it in supposed conservatives.

What, the desire to be free and to make choices for oneself, instead of being told what we can and can't do under the false pretense of security? I thought that's what conservatives were about?

Who is calling it a cure all? The truth is, there MAY be a lot of medicinal uses that, frankly, we don't know about due to a lack of study. We are only now learning of many of the benefits, but as a supporter, I'd say it's yet too early to call it a "cure all".

She heard about cannabis oil and how it would cure cancer.

It's a very close analogy ... unless you're saying you don't support the cannabis ban.
