Medical marijuana?
Marijuana is very effective as a pain reliever and as an appetite stimulant (see 4.8, the munchies). Many people use it to deaden pain from illnesses and physical injuries, to suppress nausea from chemotherapy, and to help with many other medical complaints. There is a move afoot in several countries to legalise marijuana for use in situations like this and allow it to be prescribed by doctors. In the United States voters have voted overwhelmingly for medical marijuana in several states, California being a prime example. However there is the interesting situation of it being legal in state law but illegal in federal law…and also many cops just don`t care and ignore the new legislation. However this movement has allowed “Medical Cannabis Clubs” to get set up, and they are doing quite well in several places. 5.4 You`re all using medical marijuana as a ploy to get full legalisation! Well, most people who shout for medical legalisation also believe in legalising recreational cannabis use
