MEDICAL Marijuana

Do you support the legalization of medical marijuana?

[Golfingnut]

I smoked one in 1968 and again in 1970. Both times it made me very anxious and even paranoid, but yes, for medical use I would give all the support I can muster.

I did not vote for recreation use, but did post. This poll however was easy for me. I 100% support anything that would ease a person's pain or condition.

I provided a vote on each poll.

one just needs to be with a person who has been vomiting for days to figure out this will help ease the vomiting..and you would change your mind about a no answer

This article is a bit of a testimonial from someone that uses it for pain.

According to this article Florida will have a medical marijuana referendum in November


CNN:
But leading medical groups remain ambivalent, and opponents are now trying to mobilize for upcoming votes in three states.

Florida will vote on whether to legalize the medicinal use of marijuana in November. In New York and Georgia, the state legislatures are debating medical marijuana, while the District of Columbia City Council voted Tuesday to decriminalize possession of small amounts of pot.

Meanwhile, two more states -- Oregon and Alaska -- are expected to follow the lead of Colorado and Washington and put full legalization on the ballot in 2014. And in the year-plus since the Colorado and Washington votes, public opinion has swung sharply in favor of loosening marijuana laws.

Do you support the legalization of medical marijuana?

No, I don't think doctors should be smoking marijuana on days they see patients.

[JourneyOfLife]

That 14% that voted no... I really don't get it.


I could not imagine withholding any form of comfort to people with certain conditions, for example people with MS.

In some states, desperate people resort to finding a criminal that sells it and break the law.

I don't get why this topic is again polled? Wasn't it just done a week ago??
