> > In the meantime, if you don't wish to inhale, you might want to investigate the cannabis analog Nabalone that was developed several years ago by the Eli Lilly Co. It is commonly prescribed to cancer patients to alleviate symptoms of nausea and evidently does not produce the euphoria that is common to marijuana. However I would strongly urge you seek the counsel of your attending physician in assessing whether or not this is a viable option for you . I honestly cannot advise you about this one way or the other since I completely lack any medical knowledge.

> jI've been smoking marijauna for 32 years and have been suffering for 34 years from an illnes that top military doctors could not treat and attribute a longer and healthier life to smoking marijauna. I have not suffered from any ill side affects from smoking, aside from brief periods of over-party burn-out. I dont think that they will ever develope a pill that will be as effective as smoking a joint. Aside from the debate over each pill delivering an accurate dosage for the buzz one wants versus a dosage for an intended treatment all this is really mind-boggleing.
I've also had the misfortune of being a casualty in the war on drugs thrice and I say that it is time for all of us to rise up against this governmental slaying of our rights to smoke marijauna and bring this harmless weed back into our society.
