My thoughts have changed on this since my wife has been diagnosed with a chronic illness. If you are interested in signing a petition to get medical marijuana on the ballot for 2020, private message me.

I don't live in MS however my thoughts on the subject have bowed to the evidence that it has many medical applications. Also I believe in the bell curve and younger voters will soon legalize recreational use.

I think with all of the studies done on it, it's time for it to be completely legalized and regulated like alcohol. There will be those who oppose it simply because they view it as a sin and believe laws should be centered around that. But I agree that the younger voters would vote to legalize it.

It's a pretty amazing medicinal plant, to be honest. Humans have been using this and others like it for tens of thousands of years. Western medicine has demonized it because it grows naturally and therefore they cannot patent it. It pretty much eats cancer cells. It is far less dangerous than alcohol. It should be legal, in my opinion. Like anything there is a chance at abuse but that's where each person should have responsibility.

i feel it is no different than alcohol. It has many legitimate uses and would like to see some decriminalization. I know a lot of people would like to keep it illegal because of good intentions, however my opinion is this. trying to save people from decisions and consequences in itself has consequences.
I was up in Pennsylvania last week and they were building a huge medical facility for marijuana. I think it is time to lift some o the regulations on it personally

It will be difficult to keep the minors out of it because they can get all the alcohol they want too.

Honestly, if my kids were going to choose to do one or the other, I would rather my kids smoke weed than drink alcohol. I cannot count the number of times that I have put my life at risk in some way with alcohol. That doesn't seem to happen with the other. I don't do it all the time but I admin that I have done it and even though you can be pretty stoned, you seem to maintain control of your mind and know that you should not drive or do stupid things. Alcohol can completely impair judgement.

Lots of the medical marijuana components contain very low doses of CDBs and therefore, will not get you high. They contains CBDs which provide the medicinal effects for various ailments. In the past I know many people who have benefited from the relief provide by CBDs. Fortunately in my state, Tennessee, CBD oils are readily available to the general public.

Yeah, CBD is great.

One thing to be sure of is that you buy a high quality brand that is pharmaceutical grade. Unfortunately there are lots of knock off being sold, especially at flea markets, that contain mostly olive oil. A provider in my area who has been selling and researching for several years likes Charlottes Web. Just be sure that you buy from a reputable seller and get a good quality product.
