Does anyone here think it should really be used for medical purposes? IMO we have enough pain killers. Don't get me wrong I want marijuana to be legalized, but this is just about Medical Marijuana. I think it's doing more harm than it is helping because it has more carcinogens than cigarettes, if I'm not mistaken. So it's really not smart for doctors to be handing their patients cancer. If someone wants to use it as a pain killer that's fine, but it really doesn't make sense that they would let doctors do this.

Sadly, as the great Jim Morrison said, "No ONE HERE Gets OUT ALIVE", it almost boils down to "Pick your Poison", if you suffer from physical or mental pain. Unfortunatley most of us will suffer from both throughout our lives as I should know being 40 years old and having worked manual labor. But to get right to your question, I first decided to check and see if your statement that we have enough pain killers is true and by walking down the ile of the local drug lord, the drug store, I saw a huge variety of pain killers and figured that there is more than enuf, but I was still courius about pain killers that actually kill REAL pain, so I went web surfing and found this site:

"I think it's doing more harm than it is helping"

I wanted to see if other pain killers with the strength to kill more pain than the mild head or tooth ache did less harm and was apollled! Quotes from article for those who dont want to read it all or r scared that links contain malware...

More people in Clark County die of prescription narcotics overdoses than of overdoses of illicit drugs or from vehicle accidents.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports the number of opiate prescriptions escalated from about 40 million in 1991 to 180 million in 2007 — a 350 percent increase at a time when the nation's population increased by 19 percent.

. In 1997, the Food and Drug Administration allowed drug companies to hype their brand-name medicines directly to consumers, which has helped remove any stigma attached to their use. Doctors say patients are now demanding drugs by name.

Cancer arises from one single cell. The transformation from a normal cell into a tumour cell is a multistage process, typically a progression from a pre-cancerous lesion to malignant tumours. These changes are the result of the interaction between a person's genetic factors and three categories of external agents, including:

•physical carcinogens, such as ultraviolet and ionizing radiation
•chemical carcinogens, such as asbestos, components of tobacco smoke, aflatoxin (a food contaminant) and arsenic (a drinking water contaminant)
•biological carcinogens, such as infections from certain viruses, bacteria or parasites.
Some examples of infections associated with certain cancers:

•Viruses: hepatitis B and liver cancer, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and cervical cancer, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Kaposi sarcoma.
•Bacteria: Helicobacter pylori and stomach cancer.
•Parasites: schistosomiasis and bladder cancer.
Ageing is another fundamental factor for the development of cancer. The incidence of cancer rises dramatically with age, most likely due to a buildup of risks for specific cancers that increase with age. The overall risk accumulation is combined with the tendency for cellular repair mechanisms to be less effective as a person grows older.


"If someone wants to use it as a pain killer that's fine, but it really doesn't make sense that they would let doctors do this."

I think that even our most retarted, lol, or retarded persons like me may even partially believe that smoke may have the .00001% potential to cause a lung cell to mutate and become cancerous but we all know its fictious like that "Magical animal that gives us Bacon, Ham, and Porck Chops." Dream on Lisa!

In closing, I shall leave u a list of just how much "legit" drug companies make off our pain and if they weren't so greedy they would spend a little more of that cash stamping out any compition like the evil, brainwashing, terrorist supporting, axe murdering causing, weed that, as a 1920's piece of propaganda hate literture spewed, "Allows big lipped Negros along with their "Jazz" music to seduce white women"...anyways, I will cover why a human needs to "gain" a prescrition in the first place to grow a plant that kills pain.
