I am about as right-wing a Christian as you can get, and I am emphatically for allowing states to determine whether or not to legalize the prescribing of marijuana for medical use.
I had cancer a few years ago, and while I didn't require any special pain/nausia medication, I understand that some people would benefit greatly from MJ.
Those who are against MJ for medical purposes don't understand how powerful physician-prescribed medicines are....
And those who favor smoked marijuana for medical purposes don't understand how dangerous that can be.
Were you on chemotherapy for your cancer? Did your oncologist explain that chemo compromises the immune ststem, and you were susceptible to infection? (While on chemo, my brother-in-law stubbed his toe, it became infected, and they had to amputate to stop the rapid progression.)
Did you know that marijuana may be contaminated with salmonella bacteria which gives diarrhea and with a fungus, aspergillus, which may cause severe bronchopneumonia? Bad enough for a healthy person -- lethal for those on chemo.
Do you still believe that people on chemo "would benefit greatly from MJ"?
