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}).

>So, let's assume the stuff is legal. You could smoke it everywhere and put it in your brownies for a snack with your coffee breaks and dessert at lunch and the police could too. Maybe smoke a few joints while you work. The armed forces could toke their way through a war, saying 'It helps us to aim better'. Surgeons and their nurses could smoke a joint and call it 'relaxing' before your heart surgery. Oh yeah . . . legalization is a great idea. The only good legalization idea is to control heroin, cocaine, meth et al right down to alleged harmless marijuana and have the government open stores and sell the stuff at a reasonable price to all who wish to partake. This of course, would allow Darwin's theory to take effect and kill off the smaller brained in society thus creating a better gene pool for mankind.


Well, if you want to go that route, you could opt for a much cheaper system, using my suggestion. Let the government give all the dope away, and only poison half of it.
