Austin News 8 on Medical Marijuana
Loading...
Uploaded by MPPstaff on Jun 8, 2007
Ivanhoe Broadcast News' Austin 8 looks at an area man's use of medical marijuana.
Estimates are that about 300,000 people in the United States use medical marijuana. In April 2007, New Mexico became the 12th state to allow it -- joining Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Maine, Nevada, Vermont, Colorado, Montana, Hawaii and Rhode Island. By federal law, however, the substance is illegal.
Advocates of the drug argue it is an effective pain reliever that can work when other drugs don't. It's used by patients with a variety of ailments, including cancer, glaucoma, HIV or AIDS, multiple sclerosis and hepatitis C.

The cannabis plant should be part of the diet, there are strains that do not alter the mental state and we want it to alter our physical state for the better. Cannabis for food is a whole different thing than any other use of the plant. I have found caffeine withdrawal pretty bad. When I have stopped smoking in the past nicotine was the worst. No withdrawal at all from cannabis.

ModderXtr: I think it's one of those cases of correlation vs. causation, just like when the anti-legalization people bring up the correlation between weed and depression. It's like saying: "people sometimes take Aspirin when they have headaches, therefore, Aspirin causes headaches."
