The guy I bought my guitar from had cancer in his lungs, liver, and bile ducts. He started "juicing" marijuana to get the oils, which he then either drank or vaporized. In a couple of weeks, many of his tumors had shrunk or vanished, and none of them had gotten bigger.

Oh it definitely has medical benefits, there's no questions - but there's a stigma to it, like stem cells.

If you look back, pot was made illegal the same time they repealed Prohibition. All the conservative teetotalers had to have SOMETHING to be against, and if it was not alcohol, then pot was next in line.

It is febreeze, really. Look what Portugal has done with their drug program! Everything is legal, and use is treated as an illness rather than as a crime. Pretty impressive, when you look at them -vs- the rest of the world.

If I don't even use traditional medicine, what makes you think I am going to use alternative medicine?

It's just leaves, like if you're raking and a wind comes up and blows a leaf by your mouth, same thing.

Ehhh I'm not really sure about the alcohol thing. I think this really depends on how you drink. In some European countries it's legal to drink from a very young age and (from an outside perspective - I'm not sure how it really is) it seems fine because its done with the family or responsibly or whatever. Having alcohol at a family event in the UK even from the age of like 11 is pretty common. I don't see why having a beer or two with your family or friends aged 15 or 16 is such a bad thing.

I don't think a little can cause and real damage, just don't get wasted when you're pre-teen :P

Right. Having a beer and maybe getting a small buzz as a young teenager does not seem all that bad. Getting shitfaced at 13 however.....

And THC does indeed create new neural pathways as it bonds with the receptors in the grey matter. I'd say no pot until at least 18.

Maybe I should try it once.
On another note, I might have, as a second hand smoker. I was with someone once who smoked pot, I must have gotten something of it in my system. Later when I was home I noticed I could say the most horrible things with a big grin on my face. I didn't like that.
But, as someone with fibromyalgia, I sometimes am tempted to try it. What stops me is the side effect of getting "the munchies". I'm big enough as it is.

Marijuana grown for medicine has more of the healthy stuff and less of the stuff that gets you "high."

Maybe ask a doctor? I think you need a prescription for it.
