The sad truth is that regardless of what it is, someone is going to abuse it.Yes, there are many who abuse it, buy then they would be abusing it no matter where they lived.
 Living in a state where medical marijuana is allowed, I have seen first hand the relief it has given to many.  Cancer patients going thru chemo and radiation feeling too sick to eat along with the pain they are experiencing. Patients with who are terminal, MS and other degenerative diseases that can't take or have serious side effects from other drugs.  And NO I am not a pot smoker.
   Thirteen states have legalized medical marijuana use: AK, CA, CO, HI, ME, MI, MT, NV, NM, OR, RI, VT, and WA.
   Unless you have been in the same boat as the people that have been approved for medical marijuana use, please try to be more sensitive and show a little compassion.
