[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2214793, member: 24446"] I don't use the stuff, never have, wouldn't if it were legal but there really is no logical argument that stands up to scientific proof to make it illegal while alcohol is legal. However, I do believe that medical marijuana, prescribed for real reasons (not like California) is needed extremely badly. As a pain patient myself I can tell you that because they will not legalize medical marijuana, in any form, the only alternative is narcotics that have some pretty terrible side effects. Side effects so bad that they almost cancel out the benefits. Medical marijuana processed into pill form could be prescribed to control pain without the horrible side effects of the drugs currently prescribed. That said, if it were passed as medical use only (which I would vote for) it would have to be controlled much tighter than California where every stoner claims anxiety and is given a prescription. I knew a nurse (who also did not touch the stuff recreationally, that was prescribed marijuana, in pill form, for post surgical pain in California and she said it worked extremely well (I've had the same surgery and the post surgical pain was exponentially worse than my back surgery). There are tons of real scientific proof that marijuana has major medical potential but due to the stigma it's constantly dismissed. [/QUOTE]
