It's not simply because I don't agree with you. Thanks for the insult.
What you said was disparaging and insulting to a lot of people out
there who cannot get *any* help from pharmaceuticals.

It's no joke, if you took the time to investigate the uses and
efficacy of medical cannabis, you would discover how it has completely
transformed and in some cases saved many people's lives, when
absolutely nothing else works. And without the issues of long term
problems when using pharmaceuticals.

Here is an example - I chose this example because you can *see* the
difference for yourself, rather than other uses such as for cancer or

I think that's the one I was looking for - I can't view it due to lack
of bandwidth. Or look into how pure oil can literally eradicate
melanomas simply by applying it directly.

It's thinking like yours that perpetuates the myths and ignorance that
keeps many people in pain and misery.
