Ok not to get all political here but

I am a huge supporter of the legalization of the reefer, especially for medicinal uses. Quite frankly the benefits of medical marijuana are huge. I absolutley cannot comprehend why the government will allow Doctor's to prescribe highly addictive narcotics to patients but will not allow someone suffering through chemo and radiation the benefits of marijuana, not even a regulated pill form of THC. And for anyone who has the nerve to say that marijuana has no medicinal uses, I simply say fuck you, my mom is dying of cancer and when she was going through chemo and couldn't eat, nor keep down as much as a glass of water..she had maybe 3 hits off of a joint, and guess what? Not so ill anymore. Not in pain that even some of the most potent (prescribed) narcotics couldn't hamper. I dare you to watch someone you love try everything that the government allows you to legally have to not be sick and in pain to no avail. And the one thing that could help them will also send them to jail, why because the government thinks pot is on the same level as coke...um hello? Cigarette's kill ppl, pot doesn't. And if you don't smoke it hey that's fine, neither do I but I'll tell you what, you have absolutley no right to deny the evidence, mounds of evidence for the medicinal uses. Legalize it bitches! It might be you or one of your loved one one day who needs it and shouldn't have to fear being thown in jail for medical treatment.

Incase you're wondering what started this tangent
