I don't know.....this is getting kinda philisophical here. I think what one chooses to do is, well, their choice, as long as it DOESN'T ADVERSELY AFFECT SOMEONE ELSE. Can we clearly say this about THC? No more than you can about alcohol or other "recreational" meds.
At issue here, does THC benefit some people suffering from medical problems? Sure it does. Should it be given universal approval as a panacea? NO WAY! I am not speaking out of ignorance or naivte, I had many years of hands on experience,as it were. I think we, as a forum, need to be VERY CAREFUL in supporting the use of currently illegal substances. Many people reading this board are young, and are looking for experienced answers. I can attest for a fact that teenagers should not smoke pot, because it DOES affect learning and memory. This is not just my interpretation. Adults, hey, it's your choice, but look where you leap, the laws have changed dramatically since we were young in the 70's.
