Anyone actually expecting to legalize marijuana based off medical uses are in for a huge disappointment. Its not going to happen and the DEA has already made that pretty clear.. Thats not to say I agree with them AT ALL, but their authority far outweighs the illegal pot smoking community.

Now on the other hand, a benefit of information about medical marijuana, leads to an enlightened view on the "drug", rather than a lot of the previous marijuana propoganda going around in the past. This helps to get a good word around for the herb, as majority rules, and as soon as such a high amount of the population smokes it, then serious things will start changing since it will finally be accepted in society.
To tell you the truth, I got really, really angry reading that post, but I can't blame your ignorance. I recently have been diagnosed with cancer and have been hocked up on morphine, and dahila for days. Painkillers that come with nasty side effects such as Nausea, Constipation, Appetite loss, and a constant feeling of being sick. To treat the Nausea, they gave me an IV of anti-nausea medication, which didn't do jack shit. They apparently have a medicine for every ailment, but one after another, it comes with a different side effect that makes my pain worse.

Now since marijuana is a pain-killer, I don't see why it has no medicinal value. I have no doubt in my mind if I had marijuana instead, I wouldn't be having such painful side effects. I wouldn't be constipated, I wouldn't have Nausea, I would be eating properly, I wouldn't feel so goddamn sick.

The truth of the matter is marijuana would make many of the drugs on the hospital obsolete and rendered useless. I'm convinced. After all, at the moment, I have private consultants deciding what drugs are best for me. The truth of the matter is, marijuana or hashish could and will do more wonders for me than Morphine, Fentanyl, Dahlia, Ibuprofin, or anything they came come up with.

To say it wouldn't improve my current medical condition is really insulting, and I understand what medical marijuana patients go through now. It's amazing the new perspective gained after contracting a life-threatening disease.
