Actually,
I qualify as a candidate for medical marijuana as a sufferer of insomnia. I can go to a local Cannabis Club and get a prescription and even a plant or two to grow for personal use.
I am not doing it. I do advocate that the rest of the USA should follow Canada's lead and just legalize small amounts.
There are medical uses of marijuana and these are well documented by real doctors and scientists.
Beyond this, hemp paper is so much better than wood-based paper. It lasts longer and also we don't need to cut down any forests anymore if hemp were legal here. Well, that is a legal/political issue, oops...
Back to medical uses... There is a long tradition of using marijuana as medicine before this silly "War on Drugs" started squashing our rights to treatment and wasting taxpayer dollars.
Well, that is where I stand. I'm proud to be a Californian where at least I have the option to use a proven, safe, and effective medicine.
Blessings,
Simcha
