Once again we have the anti marijuana crowd wanting to stop the ill from usimg their medicine behind closed doors at home. Just because THC is still in your system the morning after you can always go to work and you will function normally for the psychactive effect is temporary. However, many people have to call in sick the morning after getting drunk the night before. I will gaurentee you their job performance will be affected more than the worker who smokes marijuana if they are even able to go to work. When was the last time a law was made that entitled employer's to fire employee's who come in with a hangover? Once again prejudice, not science or medicine, triumphs over righteousness. Concerning Medical Marijuana use, ask yourself this. What would Jesus do? Remember, He put that plant here for our use, and if you don't beleive that you don't believe in Jesus, which is your perogative. But there is no reason anyone else should suffer because of personal and/or political opinion. Marijuana has only been illegal for 38 years since the beginning of time. Plus it was first made illegal only to use as a tool to deport marijuana smoking mexicans, there's that darn prejudice again. The scientific and medical community were left out of the decision to put cannabis in a schedule 1 catagory, for they were against it. Cannabis had been used effectively and safely over 8,000 years. 2,000 years of which we have documented medical proof. Perhaps the most famous user of cannabis in the past was Queen Victoria (The Virgin Queen.) Do you really think that royalty would use cannabis if it were dangerous? Especially as dangerous as the US Government tried to make the American people beleive with false ads and propaganda films such as the infamous "Reefer Madness." In light of the ACP coming out in favor of medical marijuana and more research into its medical efficacy it will eventually be legalized. For it is evil, cruel and sadistically insane for a government to prohibit the medical use of marijuana and a choice of a non addictive non fatal recreational drug over the fiercely addictive and fatal legal drugs alcohol and nicotine. When was the last time you heard of someone being rushed to the ER for marijuana OD or illness caused from the use of marijuana? NEVER that's when, simply because marijuana has an extremely low toxicity level. It is impossible to OD on THC. Legalize marijuana now and bring releif to the millions of people who are suffering and do not want to become addicted to opiates.
