And as all the literature has pointed out, while marijuana may have some marginal impact, the negative health aspects far outweigh the positive, and there are much better alternatives currently available within medicine to treat any malady that marijuana supposedly helps.

The media uses pity to influence and control public opinion. Since many journalists are leftist, and probably druggies, they propagandized the apathetic American public(the mob) into believing marijuana helped the chronically and terminally ill.(Use of pity) Thus as a result of the "Propaganda Boom" the drug addict gets unfettered access to his drug. The Salvation Army reports that their Colorado facilities are being flooded by incoming druggies.

The American people under media control are rapidly becoming vice addicts; eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, evacuating their bowels and snoring. Such a nation cannot last long as an independent nation; especially with ever growing strong peoples such as the Russians and Chinese. Americans are losing their capacity to think of themselves as a unit and are disintegrating into "Diversity."

If all the literature says there are much better alternatives currently available within medicine to treat ANY malady that marijuana supposedly helps, then surely you can easily quote some.

This is absolutely not true, FRiend, and belies an ignorance on the subject.

There are components in cannabis that are just now being studied; much of the study is driven by legalization in CO. The state mandated testing to confirm what is in the products being sold.

Most of these components are naturally occurring in other plants. For instance Linalool: It is the thing in Lavender that people find relaxing and calming.

Another example: Myrcine: This is also found in mangos and temporarily weakens the blood-brain barrier. That alone has profound medical importance.
