I agree with the Dr.'s post previous to mine. I believe that each of us has a right to do what we think is best for us. I believe marijuana has many medicinal uses and that this slight risk is less than most presciption medications on the market. Look at the side effects of some of these meds and tell me would you rather take them or smoke marijuana for your illness. I am not saying it is good for every type of aliment, however, it has been proved to help in many medical conditions and should be decriminalized and not government controlled or taxed. Just something else for them to tax and make money on that is supposedly bad for our health. Cigarettes are worse and contain many carcinogens yet they do not shut down the cigarette companies, tobacco growers, or retailers. The government does not care about your health, how long will it take before people understand that it is about the money they make on you abusing your health. Sickening.
