Why do you care so much? Okay, I can definitely tell you that marijuana helps with anorexia from personal experience.

Why do you care so much about the 'dangers' associated with marijuana? There are many who are addicted to OxyContin, for example, yet it's still prescribed. There are crappy side effects for everything.

Personally, I'd prefer having slightly blackened lungs to wasting away.

Just to clarify, I'm not saying addiction is a given side effect for oxycontin, but a risk.

"Why do you care so much about the 'dangers' associated with marijuana?"

I said nothing about the 'dangers' associated with marijuana. I didn't say it was dangerous, and I didn't say it wasn't dangerous. I simply responded to evad's query by stating that one can argue against medical marijuana laws when they're written like California's Proposition 215.

I have said at least twice on this board that I favor medical marijuana if it is dispensed by a physician like any other prescription drug. Prop 215 is a joke, and you have to see that.

It's a shame that your physician, after exhausting all other solutions, wasn't allowed to prescribe marijuana for your anorexia.
