How do I feel about it? I wish I had some!

I last time I smoked was last Thanksgiving while I was visiting my son. What he had was much stronger than what was available when I was a kid!

marijuana is therapeutic!!! and california has voted to make it legal but why are folks still being arrested?!!! the pain that one goes through daily and if the pain continuous, you want to get faded and just forget about it...now, not where you cannot function but just enough to get some relief. i have not smoked pot since 1989 and i was like clinton..i did not inhale...not a smoker!!! but if it helps, let's legalize it and use it for therapeutic reasons!!!

I haven't smoked it sence 1982. Many people i know smoke it, they all say the same thing, it's great for sex, and relaxation.

I dont and havent use marijuna in over 20years and I say no I have 3 teenagers and I dont want them using any type of drugs what so ever, but if you must as a adult than its up to you but I didnt like it very much as a teenager and it made me feel lazy and dump in class and I didnt like that at all and most people who I know move on to something stronger and more powerful with their drug use.

This really is a coin toss. My partner smoked every day for over 10 years in his 20's (he is not so bright these days) :( In teen days I agree with cassy it messes up with the growing brain that is already dealing with a lot of hormones that need the space for natural insanity... As a person over 40, and in the field I am in I have seen this drug used for medicinal reasons EX: to increase appetite and lesson nausea after CHEMO treatments, relax a person before going into dental work, and as far as the western pharmecuticals go with the anti anxiety medications well I "think" it is much safer to use the marijuana than a valium or other prescribed meds. However, meditation will get you there as well. It is a coin toss, it can be used for fun, for therapeutic reasons, for just sitting back and getting lazy and eating so much you get sick! To each there own. I had an experience as a teen just a child around 13 or 15, where I laughed so hard in the hall way at school I peed my pants now let me tell you it was a long walk home and I was not laughing then! I have joked about using marijuana on another thread but like most drugs all have positive and negative side effects....not to mention long term which some are yet to be discovered. As I said my partner does not have a memory as one could at his age. Nor does a few other folks I know who smoked regularly for over 10 years. If a choice between marijane, meds or meditation for relaxation I would choose the meditation and some green tea decafe.For therapeutic to help with nausea if ginger tea did not work than marijane has been proved to be quite effective. Again to each there own.... As for legalizing it? Well, yes, I think one should be able to decide to grow a couple plants for medicinal reasons in there own yards...after all other herbs are legal. But there is alot of controversy with legalizing it and I do not have the energy today to get into it. Thats my 1 cents for today...

I have a neurological condition called MSA. I have been treating it with Marijuana use. It works. I am an advocate for legalizing it for people with MS and other related conditions.

Good Evening,

I also have a condition and or disease called RSD, Reflex Symptomatic Dystrophy...Not many are aware of this disease, however, there is great information on the web explaining in detail about this condition. Brief explanation is the disease comes from a fall/injury or surgery and it is where your brain misfires and sends constant messages to and from the effect area. This disease is to be the most painful disease in the world and it will spread.

From what I have been told by others with RSD, they have tried Marijuana to reduce their pain levels and to relax. If it is true and Marijuana does help, I see no reason to have a prescription available for us with such a disease. Keep in mind there is NO cure for RSD and the pain management doctors don't have any problems writing heavy narcotic medications for us with this horrible monster. I know myself with taking these types of medications...after a period of time...What are they doing to my other organs?
