[QUOTE="donner, post: 2805984, member: 277"] Everything has its problems. From alcohol to weed to spray paint to glue to legally prescribed pain killers. And people steal for any number of reasons, not all of which will lead to the destruction of society. In the meantime, though, there are people with real problems out there who could benefit from legalization of medical MJ. I've said it before on here, but my wife was diagnosed with a headache five years ago and it has never gone away. It doesn't cycle and it doesn't stop. She has it all day, every day. We've been to doctors all over the US, including several at the mayo clinic. She has tried literally a dozen different drugs and nothing has helped. What was amazing, and scary, was how often the side effects of the drugs were often worse than the headache itself. Emotional instability, weight gain, weight loss, lack of energy, hyper activity. You name it and she has experienced it at one point or another. One pain speciality put her on the synthetic weed and it helped some (though not totally). The pills also have another drawback, you can't divide them. So if you need just a little relief, say half a pill, you can't get it. You take the whole one or nothing. With regular pot you can at least manage the amount more easily. My point is that you'll never convince me that those drugs are somehow better for her than a naturally occurring plant. Say what you will about those who want to use it recreationally. There will always be people who will abuse whatever they can. That doesn't mean it should stop others who need the relief weed would provide. [/QUOTE]
