>>If MM were only being used, as the MM movement suggests, I wouldn't have a problem with it. As a medicine, if it solves a problem, I have no problem. The problem is that it is being used as dope. Since your mother doesn't use MM, why are you making this argument? She is opting to take the route I take. I would rather suffer than take medicine that might be addictive, or have side effects. I've dealt with pain for most of my life and you learn to tolerate it. If it gets too bad, I take some naproxin. Like your mom, I deal with it without becoming a "doobie brother."

>On another subject: What is your view on artificial marijuana which is currently sold legally? It has the same effects as marijuana but is legal because no legislation has been done to cover it yet.

If it's legal, and bad stuff, laws will be enacted after a brief period of carnage. Part of me wants to say, let people be the author of their own destruction, but I've got kids, and kids usually don't have much sense until they hit 30 yoa.
