Senior Thoughts on medical Marijuana

Marijuana was the only thing that helped my husband when he had cancer. He actually had the munchies and would want to eat. I absolutely have NO problem having it legalized.

And that is something that is too often overlooked in the drug-war mania - that the herb actually HELPS people.

I'm glad it was of use to you and your husband.

Thanks for sharing that Lady K, always good to hear of personal experiences. I understand the Tetrahydrocanabinol (THC) oil can actually kill some cancer cells. Medical marijuana has also been used effectively for Fibromyalgia pain, Epilepsy, and other conditions.
 
I wanted to bump this thread back up as I don't see where our Aussie buddies have weighed in. This was probably before you guys all joined our wonderful forum, so let's hear you opinions on this topic. (waiting with anticipation......)
 
It's legal in our state and there are Weed Stores all over the place. Only card carrying members can go in the store, you have to have a prescription for it from a Doctor. But the rest of us can smoke it legally now too. Which is great because at our age, lots of people can get it.
It does help people with cancer, I have witnessed that first hand a few times with people I know or have known who had cancer, or have it now. Hash oil pills really help for pain I have been told by a few folks who take it.

so yeah anyway I'm all for it

I am in total agreement. The amount of damage the stupid cannabis laws have done to lives and the cost of the cannabis drug war astonishes me.
I am in Canada and we came close to progress a few years ago but it has gotten worse with the right wingers in power waving the 'we are tough on crime' flag.

I am in total agreement as well, and I'm not one who would be taking advantage of it. Tried it in college, didn't care for it, and haven't used it since....but I strongly feel it needs to be legalized. IMO, it makes people far more relaxed and socially acceptable than alcohol and you can buy that on every corner -- what's the difference? Too many jails and prisons are filled because of the laws governing it -- and that's not the answer to the problem, not even close!
