Read Facebook sometime. Everyday one over the hill person or another is posting something about the benefits of POT. Just saying from the personal experience knowing many many people who have engaged in this stuff over the years the real benefit is getting high.

Myself I really don't care what people do - the medical part is just a step toward legalization and a well sedated society.

Then I see people saying that it is a wonder drug.

I've never seen that ... have a link?

That's not a link.

Then it should be easy for you to post a link.

The medical benefits of cannabis are well established. From the federal National Institute on Drug Abuse (http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuana-medicine):

Currently, the two main cannabinoids from the marijuana plant that are of medical interest are THC and CBD.

THC increases appetite and reduces nausea. The FDA-approved THC-based medications are used for these purposes. THC may also decrease pain, inflammation (swelling and redness), and muscle control problems.

CBD is a cannabinoid that does not affect the mind or behavior. It may be useful in reducing pain and inflammation, controlling epileptic seizures, and possibly even treating mental illness and addictions.

NIH-funded and other researchers are continuing to explore the possible uses of THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids for medical treatment.

Backpedalling already, I see - "has benefits" is a much weaker statement than "is a wonder drug."

One could wonder what might have happened in society to make the idea of life with it so loathsome that people are welcoming the idea of smoking it away.

I think it’s because God (or rather, what we mean by God) became a joke.
