I see no reason why it shouldn't be prescribed by a physician to a patient on chemo or to someone who is in alot of pain...but i'm against general legalization of weed. I've watched too many friends smoke themselves ****less and turn into absolute wastes of life. If it was legal the problem would only worsen as it'd be that much easier to get. Also...legalize weed after it's been prohibited for all these years...why not legalize crack, meth, heroin and pcp while you're at it?
