smoking weed recreation or medication

[weedmaster]

i love the herb and luckily for me i am fit and well so smoke purely for the stoned aspect of this wonderfull plant, this got me thinking that this site is meant for medical users so really i shouldn't be part of this community and should leave it for the medical users who this site is intended for, thats why all the changes and new rules were introduced. but if all the recreational users left would this site die?
to all those that use this fine herb for medication i wish you well.

isn't relaxation therapeutic to the mind and body? if laughter is the best medicine, can't my occasional fits of nonsensical giggling be seen as the proper balm for this soul lost in an uncaring world? long before the call for medical use went out, we knew this humble herb healed us in myriad ways and could feel its strength whenever we inhaled its heady fumes. we live in an ailing culture, where degradation is accepted as the norm all across the globe even though so many of its cures are within our grasp. who has ever been more in need of an altered frame of mind and a slightly skewed point of view?

i was here long before these pretentious changes and, though i might disappear from time to time, i plan on being here for a while yet. unless, of course, the powers that be are determined to eradicate such carefree souls as i.

Heh, well I don't have a medicinal card, but I do consider my use to be for pleasure and medical reasons. Helps me get to sleep at night when I have bad insomnia.
