"Should marijuana become a legal medical
option?"
Do you think that patients should be
allowed access to THC as a pain reliever?
Many believe that marijuana can help ease
the symptoms of painful and/or chronic
conditions or treatment such as AIDS,
Alzheimer's, Arthritis, Asthma / Breathing
Disorders, Chemotherapy, Crohn's,
Gastrointestinal Disorders, Epilepsy /
Seizures, Glaucoma, Hepatitis C,
Migraines, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscle
Spasms, Pain, Analgesia, Psychological
Conditions, and Tourette's Syndrome.
Others claim that marijuana is a gateway
drug that will lead to abuse of narcotics
and want to see the substance
criminalized. The opponents of the medical
use of marijuana state that the risks of
medical marijuana include drug addiction,
cancer, brain damage, decreased
reproductive ability, and possible death.

I personally have no problem with people
getting relief with marijuana. If you
compare tobacco or marijuana on which is
the deadliest I think tobacco would win
hands down. So I believe to each his own
and if it helps someone find relief from
pain there should be no reason that
marijuana is not made available.
As far as addictive wouldn't you consider
tobacco addicting as well? Who really has
the right to draw the line on what would
be considered drug abusive when millions
of smokers (cigarette) are having
difficulty quitting. So what is more
addictive? I believe it should be up to
any individual to decide what they wish to
use.

I have not problem with people using
marijuana for medical purposes. I have
been using it for IBS for about 8 months
now. I have tried everything to help
alleviate my symptoms. Medicine, diet. But
nothing helps like smoking marijuana. I
don't use it at any other time. As other
sufferers of IBS know, it can be
debilitating. It wakes me up at night out
of a sound sleep. And there are times that
I just can't get out of bed. As well as
not wanting to be around people for fear
of being in pain and very uncomfortable.
So, smoking a little pot helps with my
pain. I really wish it would be legalized
solely for medical sue.
