Personally marijuana is probably safer than other forms of medication. It is natural, unless someone adds a man made substance to it, the side effects are natural.
Do I agree one should alter their mind. No!, but what happens when alcohol is consumed, the outcome most often is worse. If medical marijuana is being used by patients who need it for comfort, to have an appetite and it is honestly benefiting them, sure. If the drug is being abused, taking away from needs of family members, or keeping one from a normal livelihood, then I would say it is not needed. Legalization of marijuana has become a sore subject at my house. I did not vote for the legalization of marijuana. My husband, who has lost his right to vote, was upset with me when he discovered this. I am no saint. I have had my experiences, but I also realized I wanted and deserved better for myself and my family. I do not believe marijuana makes one crazy, or effects ones driving ability; in fact it probably slows them down.
My issue is, like so many others things, it takes the place of a need. People will spend their last dollar on alcohol, cigarettes, or to get high; even if they do not have anything to eat, rent paid, or clothes on their backs.
Here is what I see, people are going to do what they want, legal or otherwise. If marijuana is legalized, it will be like buying a pack of cigarettes. If it is not , people will continue buying, smoking, selling illegally, and then be fined or go to jail when caught. One has to decide what is more important to them, abide by the law or take a chance and do what is illegal until it is legalized.
