blondie_windsor	i believe its used to treat glacoma. also, if you hava ashma attacks, the LAST thing you need to do is be smoking...anything! get a rx. geez. anyway, i've thought about this question alot myself and i've come to the conclusion that it would be ok medicinally but not recreationally. think about meds like Prozac or percecet. both are sold on the street illegally for recreational purposes, which is wrong and unhealthy in my opinion. however, if prescribed these meds for pain or depression, its used to help, not hurt you and it'd be ok. i've been on both meds and i would never consider it ok to take them if i didn't need them to treat an ailment. also, when they're prescribed, it's usually for short term use which would prevent a dependence on the med or abuse of it.

Why bother there is way much to do that is far more beneficial to the body, mind, and spirit that some temporary high.

Topher	I dont think either is inherently right or wrong. It is wrong to legislate morality, and keeping marijuana illegal isn't going to make it go away and it will continue waste alot of money. It has been shown that marijuana does have medicinal uses. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

DEL H	recreational marijuana is wrong and against the law.to me they both are ok.now to the why: i suffer from chronic asthma.i have an asthma attack almost every 5 minutes even though they are small in severity,they are still painful and incapacitating.i was born with asthma.i could'nt be allowed to be a kid.i could'nt run,play with the other kids,do kid stuff because it would immediately cause an asthma attack.i was also born with arthritis.i live a normal life now because i had to make myself take the pain and stop being weak about it.to answer your question,yes marijuana did help me to function normally but it's even harder to concentrate when you can't focus because you're high.another side effect that they don't tell you about is "short term memory loss".unless something directly concerns me i can't remember what i did 2 days ago or 3 hours ago.the part of my brain that involves short term memory is gone.if you said something to me and came back an hour later and asked me what did you say,i would'nt have a clue what you were talking about.it is frustrating to not remember simple times.my mom passed away in "05" and i have to constantly ask my brother to tell me about her.for those who have never tried it, don't.for those who do it,stop now.the demons you create are more dangerous than the ones you are trying to escape.
