    Without a doubt. (as someone with a handful of T-cells and MS.) Nothing will happen on a federal level until the gov't is able to justify their piece of the pie...it's a PLANT for God's sake. (Blast Nancy Reagan 's wrinkly old hide!) There's also the drug company vampires to consider. They wield a terrifying amount of power.

    I believe it should be. I have seen too many people die agonizing deaths because their pain meds weren't helping. I also know of a man who killed himself because nothing helped him. I have had chronic pain for 14 years. I don't think I would ever use cannabis but I would never judge anyone who chose to.

    I think so. It can give a lot of people relief from symptoms of various diseases. There is no reason that it can't be regulated as heavily as other potentially addictive drugs, like opiate pain relievers.

    Source(s): I work in the pharm. industry, and some drugs have absolutely insane regulations... for good reasons.

    From someone with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Cancer ,if it can offer relief from the pain I'm all for it. It can also help with decreased appetite which plagues many of us and hinders our mobility. However, having said that, it can so easily be abused that you need to regulate it properly and practically.

    Yes it should. Morphine and codene are legal and they are derived from heroin.
