>>>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}).

>>Are you saying "MM" is the ONLY thing that can give them an appetite? I seriously doubt it. These type arguments are specious. There are other drugs, that happen to be legal, that can fulfill this need.

>Face it John if it was legal a lot of your boys would be out of a job and able to seize a whole lot less of people possessions. If dope is illegal why isn't alcohol.

There is greater chance of alcohol becoming illegal again (hence smoking ban), then drugs ever becoming legal.
If dope was legal, it would be no longer trillion/year market. Trillion$/year buys lot of educated opinions why drugs should be kept illegal.
If there was ever substantial social movement aiming to legalise (meaning control/tax) and/or eradicate production/supply of drugs, they would very likely face the same as uhm... Taliban! {g}
