@GermanConquistador08 OK. Stop. Three years of listening to the arguments of your "research" that has been disproved. Three years of listening to the ignorance that I have fought (and have been winning) to dispel. I get it -- you will not be educated. Take your incessant need to have the last word on to some other cause. We all understand your unwavering abhorrence for the truth. Move on. I can no more listen to you perpetuate this lie than I could if you chose to deny the holocaust.

Well at least we agree on point. Good debating with you sir.

@kevywevykevy " cannabis is a safer alternative for some to say oxycontin or vicodin" -That I will agree with. I would like to see a more potent yet less addictive pain killer. "highly addictive, even when they are used in the right way, something that cannot be said of cannabis." - Thats not true. Its true that marijuana isnt addictive because of its contents BUT the same thing is true of pain killers. They're not chemically addictive, they're psychologically addictive.

Of course using cannabis medically and recreationally are two very different things. Prescription cures definitely work better than cannabis, as cannabis isn't a cure. But when someone is looking for pain medicine, cannabis is a safer alternative for some to say oxycontin or vicodin. Those two drugs can be highly addictive, even when they are used in the right way, something that cannot be said of cannabis.

@kevywevykevy "I said that it relieves pain for the patients and helps them with nausea...more efficiently than prescription medicine." -That is not a proven statement. First of all, the way that medical marijuana is used, and recreational marijuana is used are two different things. Secondly, prescription medicine and cures DO work better than herbal ones, modern medicine works better than "medicine" from PLANTS! All joking aside, prescription medicines for CANCER MIGHT be the rare exception

@GermanConquistador08

When did I ever say it was a cure? I said that it relieves pain for the patients and helps them with nausea and helps them to eat while going through chemo more efficiently than prescription medicine.

@kevywevykevy "Tell that to all of the suffering cancer patients" - Again, Marijuana isnt a cancer CURE its pretty much nothing more than a painkiller for chemo patients. There are better treatments, there are more effective treatements however, marijuana is just used because its convienient.

@GermanConquistador08

The point is that cannabis causes the fewest deaths when compared to legal drugs. "Marijuana hasn't helped society whatsoever"- Tell that to all of the suffering cancer patients who go through excessive vomiting and can't eat while going through chemo... And yes I am aware that many people just use their medical card to get high, but many people also use it for the purpose of helping them through the everyday pain they experience.

@kevywevykevy Prescription drugs have killed people, but often its due to the use of the product in a way that its wasnt intended to be used. Kind of detratches from the arguement in that case. However, illegal drugs are those that cause harm when used CORRCTELY. Prescription drugs have helped billions of people. Marijuana hasnt helped society whatsoever. "ALCOHOL companies" - And marijuana supporters fund and support legalization campaigns. Doesnt make anything false automatically.

@kevywevykevy "You really need to do some research on cannabis my friend" -People who say that "you need to do your research" are really scratching at the bottom of the barrel in terms of arguements. I've done my research, it just happens to conflict with the research that YOU have done. "prescription drugs are tested, they still KILL people" - EVERYTHING kills people. Its like saying something causes cancer. MOST things have the potential, very few are lethal.
