No, i don't see it as medicine. I've seen lives destroyed by it and I have experienced what it is like to use it and what effects it has. It made me extremely ill, toxic and caused the typical mellow, high feeling that is contrary to reality and causes a person to become addicted and rely on this.

ONe friend of mine used it and changed in personality, developed short term memory problems, lung problems, behaviour problems and ended up not really caring about anything else but using it. She finally managed to get off it, but the way she was since and after she took the stuff is not how she used to be before.

One guy was an A grade student, got into taking marijuanna, became a flunky instead, then stopped caring about anything else much in life, aside from his pot. He's quite deadened in personality now.

I've seen what it does. I've also watched a programme on teens using it and what it did to them and their lives. How it changed them, how their previous interests were lost, behaviours and the feeling of deadness and having to use pot to try and get the high they craved.

How can that be medicine? The ONLY way I'd ever consider the use or this stuff is if someone is in a lot of pain and it helps them get through it. Like a war veteran, an amputee etc.

But even then, I'd be careful. I've not yet seen ONE positive outcome from the use of cannibis. Those that use it continually go on about how great it is and seem oblivious to their own deterioration. Only those around them can seem to see it. Takes a lot before they realise what is happening and hopefully can get off it early enough.

I hate the stuff.
