Just look at heart medication, for instance. How many types are <BR>> there? And how many people do you know that have switched from one to <BR>> another by a doctor to find which one works best for that particular person? <BR>> In my own case, my knees are shot. Aspirin doesn't work, nor does ibuprofen <BR>> nor some prescription meds. Codiene helps, but it makes me loopy and sleepy <BR>> so I can't drive or work. Naproxen, which was approved for OTC sales a few <BR>> years ago, works wonders for me. <BR>> If you are saying that pot is the "silver bullet" for all conditions , then <BR>> you've been to a few too many hookah parties. <BR>> Why is it whenever someone says "Whoa, wait a minute, lets look a little <BR>> closer.", they are accused of being close minded, ill informed buffoons? <BR>> Ther are too many unanswered questions. Why are so many of the "pro" people <BR>> potheads themselves? Who will control the manufacture and distribution? And <BR>> how will theft from growers be controlled? Who will be allowed to grow it? <BR>> How will it be tracked? <BR>> The questions go on and on. Sorry, this isn't a simple "Let's legalize it <BR>> and worry about consequences later." subject. <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> "Until a nonsmoked rapid-onset cannabinoid drug delivery system becomes <BR>> available, we acknowledge that there is no clear alternative for people <BR>> suffering <BR>> from chronic conditions >>that might be relieved<< by smoking marijuana, <BR>> such as <BR>> pain or AIDS wasting." <BR>> <BR>> Kai T.
