He has MS, let him smoke all the pot he wants. America needs to end the drug war, it's a total waste of time and money.

This is ridiculous. Ignorance about this "drug" is so rampant it's infuriating. (I'm sure some dolt will be chiming in soon saying Montel is a bad influence on society. He and Willie Nelson will corrupt your children. DO something!)

I'm not even an avid pot user. I have seen alcohol do far more damage to lives- mine and those close to me. That's what I hate about this drug "war." Okay I'm shutting up now, sorry for the rant everyone.

maryjane is not the miracle drug though but indeed there are SOME people that should be left alone. There's a medical grow across the street and they can't drive worth SHT and are VERY dangerous. Swerve all over while taking hits

However I think there definitely need to be guidelines, especially no driving while using it! Same with alcohol. And we see how well people follow that law (not.) Just be responsible.

It's not a miracle drug but many many people have found relief using it, which they couldn't get from anything else and are very vocal about this (esp. chemo patients and those w. debilitating pain, etc).. (cont..)

Why do some people think they have the right to tell others what they should and shouldn't put into their bodies? The media and politicians need to stop twisting this plant into something horrible.
