The tobacco industry in the early 20th century convinced the world that inhaling tobacco was good for you and by mid 20th century lung cancer was endemic. Does anybody in their right mind think that sucking on a burning weed is the way to medical freedom? Only in your mind (depending on the toxicity).

If it's legalized, people can switch to edibles, which is completely fine. Or to vaping, which is safer than smoking. Those options, and also smoking it, are safer alternatives to alcohol.

Who said "vaping" was safer than smoking? Maybe I missed the point. Is pot smoking now promoted as an alternative to alcohol rather than a medicinal cure?

It has always been promoted as both. And vaping can be studied more once more studies are allowed. The appeal is the lack of tar in the "smoke," which is the biggest problem for lung health.

The report equates Vicodin tranqing-down with cannabis tranqing-down, but there's no scientific portions of this report that explain anti-cancer properties of cannabis compounds, which until added to this politicization of herbology, remain suspect and narcissistic-for-office.

There is a good deal of medical research on marijuana which has proven its value. So much so that, it becomes apparent that Big Pharma is working to prevent legalization. If people can grow their own sleep remedies or anti-depressants in their back yard for the cost of a few seeds, why buy sleeping pills, pain pills, or anti-anxiety drugs?

Pot helps those on chemotherapy fight the nausea, weight loss and pain. It’s a great sleep aid, with no chemical hangover in the morning.

Pot also helps slow the progress of arthritis, reduce damage to the heart muscles in a heart attack, and shows promise in the treatment of epilepsy.

These aren’t just vague promises, such as tobacco was making to sell their products, with no evidence to back it up. There are extensive studies being done, but the criminalization of pot in many jurisdictions, hampers research.
