People touting the health benefits of marijuana is a scam. They have ulterior motives.

Remember when embryonic stem cells would eventually lead to medical miracles? It was just a cover for abortionists to claim the high ground on killing babies. Turns out that many medical advancements have come from cord blood stem cells

Same thing with marijuana. Because a drug that produces specific learning and memory deficits later in life, isn't going to cure or help with a condition that is associated with specific memory impairments later in life

There's definitely benefits in pain management. Anyone who thinks differently has never smoked MJ.

That aside, jailing people who use, sell, and smoke MJ is a colossal waste of tax dollars. Speaking strictly on principles people who believe in the status quo also believe in the prohibition of alcohol.

The only way this happens if you start using it heavily as an adolescent or a teenager. Studies have shown people who start using as adults suffer no long term affects to memory.

Tell that to the parents whose 6 year old girl was having 300 seizures a week but was virtually stopped with a low-THC strain of cannabis oil. There are several compounds in cannabis that can be used to combat various illnesses.
