>I don't buy into the "medical" marijuana. That is merely a ruse.

What about chemo patients? Many have no appetite after treatment (a friend of a friend who went through it said he had a taste of poison in his mouth and couldn't bear the thought of eating) and often lose a lot of weight and strength as a result. Medical marijuana in that case has proven to be effective in regaining their appetites (of course, I'm not sure their diet of Doritos and Twinkies is that good an idea {g}).
