The subject of medical marijuana is fascinating to follow.

In my area of the country, even if that very pretty plant were made legal tomorrow, those trying to plant it might be shot on sight... Laughing!!! By the folks drinking down at the bar after a hard day at work.

What is your part of the country like when it comes to accepting the use of marijuana for medical purposes?

I hope that you have a totally wonderful day! Catherine

It also helps mental illness to a degree. Sum people say its self medicating but i think its better than pills and being a Guinee pig. It is a plant and has relieving effects for cancer , glaucoma, gaining weight !! sum people have that problem !! Unfortunately i'm not one of them. !!!  It does help to sleep at night and calms the mind. Relieves stress. On the other hand it is worse than smoking cigs. The resin that builds up from smoking it is 3x thicker than nicotine and it goes to your lungs. If it is used for medicinal purposes it comes in lil balls of concentrated THC. Much healthier but not practice to much in western medicine but i also believe that's due to the pharma companies cant make money because in sum places its to easy to grow. Florida has the perfect climate for it so its a big thing down here. !!!! lol !!! you might be shot on site for getting into sum ones plants down here Catherine.

As far as smoking it, a lot of people use a vaporizer; it heats it up to the point just before it catches fire and releases only the THC. You can also make butter and make cookies or whatever for a rather relaxing feeling...

I live in northern California, and medical Marijuana is readily accepted, although the fed's are not liking it too much though...
