>I've never bought into the argument that marijuanna should be legalized for terminally ill people. Are there no other drugs that can perform this function? I think so. So, that means it's a ruse to incrementally legalize pot, which is what some of those in the medical marijuanna movement have admitted lately.
I'm not sure if there is an equivilent to cannibus though I think there might be. Still, for the terminally ill I don't have a problem either with them using it. Same for glaucoma. Still, it's definitely a tradeoff with some consequenses. It is known that long term use of marijuana affects the brian. ALl you need to learn that is talk to someone who's smoked for a few years and you'll find that out real quick. <g>
Best,
