I cannot believe some people's ignorance considering all the
information available about marijuana. Marijuana is an herb, not a
drug.
I am not advocating the use of drugs, pharmaceutical or otherwise.
Drugs are bad; however, some are necessary to deal with illness. If I
can combat my illness with herbs rather than drugs, I feel I will be
better off. I took pharmaceutical drugs for years, suffering many side
effects. Taking herbs, I have managed to take control of my illness
without the damage caused by drugs.
If smoking marijuana can help, who has the right to tell me I can't?
Who will help when pharmaceuticals have damaged my body beyond repair?
When society compensates people damaged by drugs, then, and only then,
society should have the right to say we cannot use the herbs that give
us relief.
