The doctor group questions the medical value of pot and acknowledges some health risk from its use but urges it be regulated like alcohol. A law enforcement official harshly criticizes the new stance.

1. Didn't you know?

We're only supposed to listen to doctors if they're advocating for big pharam. Obama isn't budging on this.

5. It's worth legalizing JUST for the effects on sleep and minor anxiety

IMO of course.

Having gone without for awhile now, I can definitively say my sleep quality has declined by a significant amount. Study me dammit!

6. i feel sick to my stomach when i think of cancer and other patients who depend on it.

I know what it feels like to have unrelenting chronic pain. I'm one of the lucky ones who can control that pain with big pharma meds. But not everyone has that option, for medical and/or economic reasons. Why should they be denied relief?

To those of you who are against medical marijuana,
I hope you get sick.
I hope you experience unrelenting pain.
I hope you feel the desperation of wanting to escape a body that tortures you.
I hope you feel the helplessness and loss of control.
I hope you feel what it's like to want to die because the pain is so unbearable.

And after you've felt all those things, then come back and try to ban medical marijuana.

You are callous and cruel.

7. This is one of the biggest reasons why we need to get rid of Congress and put this up in a

nationwide initiative.

Let the people vote that they want it legalized and Congress needs to stop stalling and shilling for Big Pharma.

It needs to go legal.

8. With both major parties supporting the WOD

which, particularly in the case of pot, is really nothing more than a war on American citizens.. you really have to wonder if the persecution is ever going to end..

9. law enforcement "criticizes" cuz it means his welfare gravy scam will get cut back nt
