I am for drug legalization, but that doesn't make me an advocate for drug abuse. I think, personally, that people who use drugs, have every right to do so in the privacy of their own home! Be it for recreational or medical purposes, but it becomes abuse when you're selling off everything you own to get that high or destroying the lives of others for the sake of drugs. I'm convinced that we can do a better job ... at a lower price ... of handling our drug problem in this country through treatment rather than through law enforcement.
Now that we have that drug legalization thing out of the way, let's talk medical marijuana. There is no question whatsoever that using marijuana can help critically ill patients avoid severe discomfort and acute pain. For terminally ill patients medical marijuana can be the difference between spending their final days or weeks in a drug induced coma, or in a comfortable and conscious state where they can still interact with friends and loved ones who come to pay final respects.
The federal law needs to be changed. There is no victim here, and there should be no crime. It's time to stop pandering to hyper-moralists on this issue, and to start thinking about the ill, the dying and their families.

Come on, you 37 other bastards! Get with the program.
I don't use at all. Never developed a taste for marijuana. Liquor has always been my drug of choice. That said, if I am lying on my deathbed, writhing in pain, ******* or sh!tting myself every ten minutes and if I were to ask for a big, fat doobie... goddammit! A nurse should be rolling that motherfukker tighter than virgin cunny on a Sunday. I shouldn't have to sneak around.
