It never ceases to amaze me, how many people who think marijuana is the devil drug...are self-medicating drunks or hooked on pain pills.
While I hope I never need either medically, I certainly don't see why opioids are handed out like candy...but pot is not even allowed to be prescribed by a medical doctor.
And as a far as that goes, why shouldn't it be legal for other than medical purposes?
Give me someone buzzed and laid back on pot over an aggressive drunk who wants to fight everyone...any time.
