Thanks for the very respectful post, and sure, I'm not closed minded to it. All I'm saying is I'm not opening it up to EVERYONE just because it can help a few in isolated cases where nothing else works.
So the chicken/ egg argument... did pro athletes start smoking pot BEFORE they were great athletes, or did they grow up with it? I think we all know the answer to that. Also, from a balancing standpoint, is it worth the risk to begin smoking pot to reduce inflammation with the possibility of moving onto more hard core drugs, or just take some Advil? I take Advil, and it works perfectly good for me.
Kids with epilepsy, absolutely, 1000% whatever works for them. But that's medical marijuana. I'm all for that.
