medicinal marijuana

I believe that Dr. Lisa is so right about medicianal marijauna!! For those of us who suffer from chronic pain, from illnesses that have uncontrollable reactions and problems this natural drug has so many beneficial qualities is just floors me that so many people choose to believe that it is wrong!! This drug has been stigmatized years ago by "The WAR ON DRUGS" The war on drugs should be on meth, heroine ,cocaine, even the abuse of pills aquired illegally and legally that are abused and taken improperly are aquired and sold for money or recreation!! Many people who suffer from serious ailment s diseases and mental and physical disabilities benifit greatly in so many waya from from the THC in the medicinal marijauna! I live in a state where there isn't medicinal marijauna but I am seriously considering moving because I suffer from chronic Fybromyalgia, depression, OCD, and Bi-polar disorder, I have serious issues with shaking and lose of control in my hands that that can'''t diagnose even though they have ruled out carpal tunnel! I can't work because I can't handle activities for more than 20-30 minutes at a time without needing a break and i get so aggravated that I literally want to scream! I even pull my hair out in a spot on the top of my head from nerves and dont even realize it until someone realizes it and tells me to stop or I see it in the mirror!! I have to take 12 different pills 3-4 times a day!!! That is a lot of pills! I have to get screenings every three months to make sure my liver is okay!!! Now how healty is that on my body??? I truly believe that medicinal marijuana is the answer for me and for many many others! I have seen the results and the benefits it provides for others! Regualtion is the answer!!! Stop judging others, stop refering to it as a gateway drug !! It isn't!! People who claim that are ignorant! If someone smokes or using marijuane and then goes to another drug it is because they simply choose to use more drugs!! Period!!! And I have never heard of someone smoking a joint and then knocking off a liquor store because they wanted some more!!!! I have heard over and over again of meth addicts or crack addicts heroine user getting cranked up on these drugs and then hurting themselves or others , of stealing, or robbing others to obtain more drugs! Now shouldn't "The war on drugs" be concentrated on the ones who are actually causing such destruction?? To theirselves and others!!! I truly don't understand why people can't see the benefits of this God given, organic, earth grown plant with such medicanal helpful qualities that help so many in so many varied ways. Open your eyes poeople, do your research, look at these people with all these different diseases of all different walks of life ages, races, and situatuions!!!! Understand this is an alternative for those of us who have run out of choices and just want to live a normal life! We want to be able to enjoy our families and our children and grand children too. Without the pain, the confusion and we want to have control over our lives and bodies just like you do as healthy beings!!! Why deny us this choice!! In my opinion this is oe of the healthies alternatives in the medicanal community!! All together I have to take 30-36 pills daily!!!! Can YOU imagine that!! Honestly what is that doing to my body!! I know it has aged me physically by 10 years!!! Whats it doing to my insides???? Medicinal marijuana is the answer!!!! Please continue with the research, stop with your biased judgement and help provide care for those of us how can benefit so greatly from this medicinal plant!! Dr. Lisa is so right and I am so glad to hear her voice it on live tv!!! I also wish that The DRs. would do a longer or full show on Fybromyalgia! There are so many issues I suffer from having this hereditary disease!! TMJ, osteoporosis,depression,RLS,chronic back pain, chronic pain, nerveous, disorder,speech problrms, memeory loss,female issues. I could go on and on!!  Dr. Lisa Dr. Travis I would love a full show on Fybro I have been diagnosed since the mid 90's and I am still trying to learn about it and how to handle it!! Any info helps my situation!!!
