Where's the 'dignity', in spending your final days in a dope haze?

I suppose you'd find more dignity in screaming and grovelling in constant, intense, unbearable pain?

That was me when Hillary won.

You know, I watched someone die of cancer recently. They had her on a morphine drip and she assured us she was in no pain as long as she was conscious and able to speak. Even as she slipped farther away, she seemed comfortable. Increasingly weak and distant, but comfortable.

There's no dignity in smoking marijuana as your end draws near. Medically administered morphine will at least leave you compos mentis. Would you really want to make your last visit, to a dying relative, only to find them giggling and asking if you brought anything to eat?

We already have legal pain drugs for those who are dying...the legalize pot rant is only a front for the dopers, the low lifes, the useless ( and a few who REALLY mean it).
