I do believe that marijuana is something that should be used as a medication and its not for everyone.

Don't forget to say it on your next job interview bro.

If i get drug tested then i do tell them that im prop215 legal, and if that is the reason the dont hire me then i can sue them because im legally allowed to have it by the state of California, and people have won large amounts of money because of this and wrongful termination due to medical marijuana.

That is what im doing by growing my own and not buying from rando people on the streets. There is a lot less of a chance that marijuana is going to hurt you then smoking Nicotine in cigarets(one of the most deadly chemicals know to man) or inhaling the pollution from the Oil refinery that is right down the road from my house, or drinking the tap water that has been pumped full of florid and pharmaceuticals.

what do you mean? Are you saying that its addictive? because that just not true. And if you are saying that your lungs dont heal (if there is any damage) that is false as well just google "do your lung heal from smoking" and you will find a lot.

Assassin Wrote:But since its a medication try to find alternatives, always have a back up plan, and do a regular check ups every month or 3 months, so if anything any side effects appears, it wont be too late for you to stop.

Marijuana is the alternative medication for me. When i started to smoke pot it was because i was not able to take pain killers because my stomach wouldn't allow me to, whenever i did take them i would get horrible pain. The only time you really have to worry about your lungs is if your smoking plant matter alot. I mostly smoke concentrates(hash), vaporize it, or make brownies.  All of these dont hurt your lungs because your only getting the medicinal value of marijuana(THC).

Assassin Wrote:But then again this is my opinion, i just know that everything have a side effects such as too much food can cause some heart problems, and taking too much pain killers might cause liver failure.

I agree, im sure that if you do smoke the plant matter non stop everyday for 50 years then your going to have lung problems, but the fact is that no one smokes that much. You would literally have to continuously smoke for every minute of that 50 years.

But thats how i would deal with things, its just an opinion and advise, and im not saying whether marijuana is bad or good im just saying to take everything into account.

I understand what your saying, dont be a person that uses more than they need. i would say that some days i do and some days i dont. it just depends on that day. and like i said before its not for everyone to use.

In the end i dont really understand why people fight over this. It is just a plant that is naturally grown from the earth, and could be use in so many different ways that its ridiculous to even think that its not legal.(aside from the medical values) It could be used as a renewable fuel, clothing, food, in cars, for paper, and there are many other things that it can be used for as well, but it boils down to one thing. The people that run the world would lose a lot of money to the new and upcoming pot/hemp industry that would boom if it where to be legal.
