It doesn’t bother me that you disagree. I still think those who want to smoke pot really like the high especially if they haven’t tried all other options.

Thank you for speaking up.

This demonizing of a medical plant God created shows how ignorant some people are.

I have friends suffering from cancer and others suffering from chronic pain who are using cannabis oil (FECO) to effectively and safely treat severe pain. None of them are stoners and one refers to cannabis as a miracle that has given her life back.

And that's a cryin damn shame.

Researchers at California Pacific Medical Center discovered CBD’s ability to “turn off” the activity of ID1, the gene responsible for metastasis in breast and other types of cancers, including the particularly aggressive triple negative breast cancer.[26][27][28] The researchers hope to start human trials soon.[29]

And the Israeli’s are years ahead of us, cannabis as medicine is used in their hospitals to treat a lots of diseases and medical problems. Here we have people who still think Reefer Madness is science and we lock up people for using a plant to treat their illnesses. The “land of the free” Bull!
