"So whaddya think?"

Three words, "More research needed". Seems to conflict with other things I've read; for example:

"Glaucoma? It borders on malpractice to give marijuana for glaucoma. While it can reduce intraocular pressure (with huge doses of pot), it also can constrict blood supply to the optic nerve, exacerbating vision problems. There are far safer and better drugs."
-- Pot as Medicine, Washington Post, February 7, 1997>

Plus, I just cannot ever envision the American Heart Association supporting smoked marijuana as medicine.

I've got a question for you. How did they ever get the mice to smoke those little doobies? And if they were trained to smoke, how did they ever get them to share?

Don't bogart that joint, my friend ....

There must be drugs available that have the same effect that are legal. Who cares if they cost many, many, times more than weed?
