I had an interesting conversation with my doctor a few days ago. I always thought the medicinal marijuana was bs. I really did. I asked him about it. He said that it was legit. He said its great for chemo patients and nausea. He says its good for people who need to gain weight, for sleep problems. He says he doesnt think it helps with pain and that most people who get the cards are getting them just to get high. I asked him if he would advocate legalizing it. He said he absolutely would. I asked why. He said he wanted it regulated. I dont smoke pot. I dont like it. I asked him if it damages brain cells, because I always looked at potheads and they always seemed to be missing a few. He said no, that to his knowledge it doesnt damage your brain. He said that he supposed that it probably had to do with when people start smoking, and how smart you were to start with. Interesting. I believe in legalizing it for tax purposes and for control. But I wonder how much control there would really be. We were always able to get cigarettes and booze. But, it might get rid of these arsehole illegals who are growing it in our hills and shooting people who get too close. Id sure like to put the dealers out of business. I also recently read that pot causes more damage to your lungs than cigarettes. Thats not how mine were damaged though. Mine was caused by constant second hand smoke, and by starting smoking at 8 years old. Thatll do it, too. :)
