The mystery is not why anyone believes cannabis can be safe and effective therapy. The mystery is why so many politicians, particularly Republican presidential candidates - Ron Paul being the heroic exception - are unwilling to consider the possibility, or to leave the matter up to the states.

    "Marijuana,in it's natural form is one of the safest theraputically active substances known to man.By any measure of rational analysis,marijuana can be safely used within a supervised routine of medical care."

    "In strict medical terms,marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume.For example,eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response.By comparison,it is physically impossible to consume enough marijuana to induce death."

          I would rather be around a pot smoker any day as to being around a DRUNK or PILLED up person. I find that people who have smoked or are smoking the God-given herb, are much more conscious about their surroundings and other peoples feelings than someone who is under the influence of any other inhibitor.

          I get very upset when I hear about a person who is using it for medical reasons being arrested, harassed and jailed.

          It is time that we wake up. These OLD, OUTDATED logics are lost to a world that is Hell bent on keeping it illegal.

          Isn't it time that we have a President that is not afraid to support the legalization and start putting to GOOD use the money that is wasted on INCARCERATION !!
