I thought these articles were interesting, I found out about this through a friend. For those of you in states where it is legal, what is your experience with it? For everyone, what are your thoughts?

NYTimes: FDA dismisses benefits

I know this is controversial, but I think that perhaps properly regulated, it is beneficial for some populations. I know I got really really sick a few weeks ago and was in incredible pain and was unable to eat, during that time, I used it and was able to get through a weeks worth of pain, now I totally understand why some people need this or why it is beneficial.
However, I do not know the details on how it is regulated in other states, thats why I asked

LOL at the NY Times article. I love how the FDA is so quick to denounce the positive effects of marijuana.......but they won't go anywhere near the fact that there really is generally nothing wrong with marijuana.......at all.

my sis-in-law is going thru her second bout with breast cancer at the age of 33. you better believe her doctor "casually mentioned" some natural ways to boost her appetite, and it worked. i see nothing wrong with it. i dont think you should sit around all day everyday, trying to recreate "half baked" but casually and RESPONSIBLY? have fun!

the only thing i dont agree with is the smoking while pregnant thing. ive heard several drs ok it but i still am the type of person who would rather not take the chance. i'm 4 1/2 months now and someone told me it was ok...it is not that pressing that i have some now. i refuse to take even the FDA approved drugs right now! but thats just me...

HMMPHFF the FDA!

They and the Drug Companies are in cahoots!

What the heck do they think people used for cures in the older days? Oh, golly natural herbs of course!

I do not see a disclaimer on herbs as there is on everyday drugs today that profess a cure except for side effects that may kill you!

Big business and big money of course is the reason.

Do not discuss drugs in this forum. Do not say anything about drugs in this forum. Drugs are for sickos and I do not like to hear ANYTHING about DRUGS!!!

Unless you got some...

Do us a favor contact the FDA and tell them what a bunch of Morons they are.

Yes, Drugs kill, but look at the leagal drugs and discalimers of how they can save you or kill you!

A referendum legalizing medical use of marijuana lost here in Colorado in the last general election, I think.

Stupid.
