i felt compelled to reply to this and we each will make our own choices... i have friends who smoke weed medically... it helps them.. im thinking of getting a license myself where it is legal in my state for medical reasons.... it seems that it has many health benefits such as the ability to relax and calm... certainly doing the relaxation without the weed is something that would help them further... i spose in some way we all are trying to get high... the best way is harmlessly tho... i dont think people are violent on pot like some other substances or medications, and i know there is a lot to consider here but, for me, natural is best ...
