I heard on the news that the federal government is now recognizing medical marijuana as a medical alternative to western medicine.
My husband and I were happy to hear this, but it surprised me to hear the amount of people who thought it was wrong. Medical marijuana had help many people that I knew, and I was sure there were thousands of more people that have been helped with the use of medical marijuana. My husband and I thought this was a step in the right direction. What amazes me about the people who deny that medical marijuana should be legalized are of an age where the people probably used marijuana illegally in their youth. I had to admit that I had used marijuana in the sixties, and when I found out how much trouble you could get into, I quit. Now that medical marijuana is legal in our state and the federal government is also recognizing it as a medical alternative, i was hoping to see my parents and others get the ID card. Many people use prednisone as a miracle drug for almost everything, but I’m thinking medical marijuana could be better. Prednisone can cause stomach ulcers and other serious side effects. They have not proved medical marijuana to have any adverse side effects, except that it is easier to use, and it helps with many health issues. When I started using medical marijuana, I noticed a big difference in my eye site. I had glaucoma, which is a side effect of corneal transplants. The medical marijuana reduced the swelling and I can see again.
