My point is people here in the us we have the abbility to change things if people would stand the fuck up and stop being chicken shits and not let the corrupt goverment control and rule your lives. Vote for people who will work for the people. Get out and VOTE!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]
I second that, as obscure as it may seem, the only voice you really have is your vote. If you don't vote, you can't have any voice in govt. My theory is that by the time a politician reaches the point where he is running for National office, He is so corrupt that it won't make much difference who you vote for, but always choose the lessor of the two evils, Kinda like between horseshit and cowshit!

Okay lets get this straight...

People use weed to get rid of pain right? Well relieveing pain is a part of the high on weed alongside with laughing, and just chilling..

So in reality evvverybody that uses weed is for the high that weed gives

after a long day of working on roofs i like to go home and hit the bong because my back hurts or my legs hurt whatever. alot of the time i just hit the bong just because its there too...

I do infact think it should be legalized in Canada, but im not counting on it
Legalize it for recreational use, because if i could just hit up the corner store for a half o, i wouldnt be headin to the beer store to get a 2-4 which would probably make me commit "criminal offences" or in other words having fun

Weed is all-around good, its good for pain, its good just to chill, and it isn't going to make me do anything stupid up town! If they legalize alcohol then why not legalize marijuana, i believe it to be safer just in my opinion.

• AIDS. marijuana can reduce the nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite caused by the ailment itself and by various AIDS medications.
  
• Glaucoma. marijuana can reduce interlobular pressure, thereby alleviating the pain and slowing -- and sometimes stopping -- the progress of the condition. (Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in the United States. It damages vision by increasing eye pressure over time.)
  
• Cancer. marijuana can stimulate the appetite and alleviate nausea and vomiting, which are common side effects of chemotherapy treatment.
  
• Multiple Sclerosis. marijuana can limit the muscle pain and spasticity caused by the disease, as well as relieving tremor and unsteadiness of gait. (Multiple sclerosis is the leading cause of neurological disability among young and middle-aged adults in the United States.)
  
• Epilepsy. marijuana can prevent epileptic seizures in some patients.
  
• Chronic Pain. marijuana can alleviate the chronic, often debilitating pain caused by myriad disorders and injuries.

Each of these applications has been deemed legitimate by at least one court, legislature, and/or government agency in the United States.


Many patients also report that marijuana is useful for treating arthritis, migraine, menstrual cramps, alcohol and opiate addiction, and depression and other debilitating mood disorders.

All the benefits listed can be obtained through prescription drugs. The only thing the prescription drugs are missing is the high...

People who are using medical marijuana don't want to take prescirption drugs. They are trying to get away from the narcatic and addictive chemicals in the "prescription" drugs.

Imagine someone being able to say I used to take codine and phenobabital but quit cold turkey.

Aye, marijuana is also safer than most of these prescribed drugs. So there.

I hadn't realised that this had been proven...

Also Mogie, to take one drug to get off another certainly is not cold turkey, it is replacing one drug for another... The medical aspects of marijuana will always play second fiddle to the intoxication.

marijuana is addicting too along side with prescription drugs, maybe not as addicting as other drugs but yes it is addicting i know for a fact

Me too... I know from personal experience that weed is addictive. Anything that gives you an aside to reality is always addictive... like gambling, sex etc...

Weed withdrawal also has physical aspects. For me at least they include an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach, an inclination to get angry over little things, I feel extremely hyper-active, difficulty sleeping, and the worst of the worst is night-sweats. If I haven't had a smoke for one, even nearly, whole day I will soak the bedsheets with sweat... The sweats have lasted up to three days before.

We smoke because we like to get stoned, it has other benefits too, it also has side-effects just like any other drug whether prescription or no... The only difference with marijuana is that it doesn't come with a warning...
