Does Gary Johnson give potheads a bad name?

[Hekate]

70. My husband and I both have conditions that might be helped by cannabis products....

I turned 69 this week (and as I said to someone else: I want to know how the hell that happened, since I distinctly remember being a feisty middle ager when I joined DU almost 15 years ago) ... So just extrapolate some of the usual ills the flesh is heir to, plus for decades he's had colitis and I've had fibromyalgia.

I would not mind giving it a try. Our next door neighbor smokes it for his migraines. Another friend swears by it for a good night's sleep with her arthritis. My son has a seizure disorder and getting the right medication that doesn't leave him dopey has me fervently wishing he could legally obtain that product developed in Colorado. And so it goes.

As for recreational use, since college days in the 1960s I've felt it should be in the same category as liquor.
