New York's law and order Republicans said yesterday it's high time marijuana be made available for patients in pain.

Finally, some sanity on this issue. I hate pain, if licking frogs relieves the pain, let's prescribe frogs and a glass of water. What is the difference between prescribing pot for pain, or heroin? Both are potentially addictive drugs and both of them work. Heroin, Barbituates and Amphetimines are addictive, yet we use them.

I have no problem with this either.

My brother just died of cancer, and if smoking pot would have made him feel better before he died then I would have been okay with it.

Heroin [I think you mean morphine], Barbituates and Amphetimines are addictive, yet we use them.

Quite correct; in fact, they are all considerably more addictive than marijuana (as is alcohol, which we allow for recreational use).
