Typically yes, though marijuana is not made like many drugs. Though it still is used to make people healthy. It corrects my anemia, assists with my spasms, and decreases the frequencies of my migraines without the added side effects that "made" drugs would give me. Not to mention the sheer number and different types of drugs I would have to take for each symptom each of which I could OD from and oddly enough there are no real working drugs that make people eat aside from an element in THC.


Those that are designed for it are indeed. Some people take certain drugs to help with mental disorders and the like which keeps the patient and also sometimes the general public safe.
As for marijuana it would depend on a patients level of safety and what you would define safety as. For example if it helps prevent someones seizures which can and often cause personal injuries would that count? There again are numerous other ailments that could be covered.


Lets see if we want better health for example then yes. Though what really does make the world better anyways? Some may be more inclined to say greed, others art, and others may say personal freedom.
No one could not argue that drugs in general do not help greed or financial gain, legal or not.
History has shown that art and even advanced sciences have benefited from drugs.
Naturally drugs are made for health and if not made many are used for health so there is no real argument there. One could even argue that recreational use attributes to health and have more valid than negative points.
With personal freedom that is a no brain-er.



Deny eh? Ok you lost me there on your point.

Now seriously what is the reasoning behind fighting this issue aside from your hard on to go after a certain poster?
Or do you seriously believe in your above stereotypes?
Now let me try to get this straight, I have respect to you and you are no more the certain poster to me, I also don't give a shit about 2000 post.

1) I don't care if someone smokes it but noone will ever persuade me that this is a good thing

2) now everyone who takes it on prescription is totally ok, that's what works in the whole fuckin world, I hope - I want people, and you to get better, any fuckin way

3) my point is that we are going through the transitioning phase, cigarettes and alcohol are already banned, but the kids are stoned on every other corner, is that better?
