See in my case weed gave me relief from pain and nausea when I couldn’t handle opioids.

I am glad that you are able to use cannabis in a purely medicinal capacity. Of course, the misuse of opioids are a big problem, too.

My issue with the whole marijuana legalization thing is that "medical marijuana" is used to introduce the possibility of using it legally. I have NOT seen a location where

1. Medical marijuana leads to medical marijuana prescription abuse leads to recreational marijuana.

2. The pro-medical Marijuana people make common cause with the marijuana lifestyle folks. Here in Arizona, when we we still "medical marijuana" only, there were ads for marijuana gummis, pizzas, chips, candies and burgers. They don't do that with hypertension medicine or anti-seizure medications. One marijuana "dispensary" chain featured "Dr." Tommy Chong as a spokesman!

I have known good Republicans, especially in Georgia who make a valid case for the use of medical cannabis, often in oil form, not smoking. They ought to disassociate themselves from the Woody Harrelson "pot solves all problems" types. AZ has recreational pot, and is the worse for it.
