I have to agree with you on this one 100%. It’s not a federal issue it’s a states issue. It would free up prison space that is for sure.

Since I do a lot of research on my health conditions I get to read about MMJ usage.

Cannaboids which don’t have the bad element that gets you high, is finding a home in the medical field. But it is a lengthy process to distill it down to that point. 1 gram is like $80 bucks. To me it’s not been studied enough to be a proven medical use yet. More research needs to happen. And can it be mixed to target specific medical needs?

I have FMS (fibromyalgia) 30 yrs of severe muscle pain and stiffness. Their drugs are worst than the FMS. And most in the FMS community are swearing by the pain relief MMJ brings. Cancer patients are also lobbying for it to treat the severe nausea that drugs don’t work well on. Then you have those of us with digestive disorders. There again they swear by the pain relief in MMJ. But most are smoking it, and getting high, which to me is just putting them into La La Land where you don’t care about the pain. And leaves them with the lung cancer causing agents. Which is not worth it.

I watched my parents die of lung cancer from cig smoking. But I have NO right to tell a person they can’t do it, as this is still a free country, if we can keep it. I can restrict it’s use in my car or home as that is personal property/space. I think places that ban cigs should have to provide a place that is weather controlled for those they ban from their buildings as it is only the right thing to do. Eventually they will tax it out of reach or people will wise up and learn the dangers of it. Probation didn’t work and was a waste of prison space and money better spent elsewhere.

We don’t need a Nanny State.

Why is the element that gets you high, bad?

If someone is in la la land, but not in pain land, why is that bad?
