I am disappointed with President Obama for his refusal to consider the decriminalization of growing and using small amounts of cannabis. I am OCD, do not smoke, but if it were legalized I would cook with it and infuse cooking oils and honey with it.

I like this graph and am saving it to my documents, thanks!

I'm clipping this one!

We must do everything we can to help educate people about the benefits of natural remedies, over deadly chemical cocktails!

I like the graph too, it's simple easy to understand information that it doesn't take someone very long to look at.

Jim420: I have a good friend from college who also suffers from Crones. She struggles every day with the pain and other symptoms, but finds that smoking pot controls the pain better than and intravenous drugs they give whenever there's a flare-up. I hope that today is a day NOT filled with excruiating discomfort. Hang in there. You are not alone.

McSpocky: good information! Isn't it time that as a nation we become more accepting of "nature's treatments" given to us by nature instead of trying to deny relief to those who suffer from conditions that are not always helped by traditional drugs. My sister is an MS patient who could benefit from medical marijuana, yet she is forced to spend thousands of dollars on prescriptions that barely control her symptoms. We owe it to ourselves to change the way medicine is practised, snd insurances companies need to be reigned in. Just my humble opinion...

It's amazing that it's still illegal. It hasn't killed anyone, while alcohol and tobacco which has killed untold millions IS legal.

Hopefully, legalization will come sooner, rather than later.

The "NO! BECAUSE I SAID SO!" stance of the gubment is crumbling under an avalanche of facts.

Thank you for the seed McSpocky. Good one!

Legalize it all ready! End the insanity!

I can't wait for November 2012 to get here. It will be a high just to see the election results where weed is on the ballot in many states for decriminalization or outright legalization.

It's going to be a fine day indeed.
