To my way of thinking, marijuana is less of a medical issue and more of a rights issue. I don't agree that the government should ban an herb such as mj from the personal use of its citizens, or spend our tax dollars financing the enforcement of this nonsense.

As a side note, an acquaintance controlled his schizophrenia with pot.

"or spend our tax dollars financing the enforcement of this nonsense."

I've often wondered if we could actually find out how much money goes into enforcing marijuana laws... REAL figures...not just the ones the pols want us to know. And I can't help but believe that one of the main reasons marijuana won't even be considered by many pols is the fact that it can be homegrown, therefore not taxed and not make a pharm. company rich.

If I had my druthers, I'd either make marijuana use and cultivation legal, or do away with alcohol as well. Alcohol abuse has come all around destroying my family, whereas my experience with marijuana relieved chronic pain without making me brain dead like the pain meds the docs prescribed. [before some of you scream 'druggie!'; gave it up when we had kids].
