    This article appeared in the Washington Post. I was struck by how clueless the writer (and person with MS) was about cannabis. And how gullible - believing all the trash the MS Society and the federal government doles out. Wow.

    Most people are clueless about cannabis. The other was just sharing her point of view and what sources she perceived as correct. I think she is just opening up a dialogue the best she knows how. How would she feel if she were desperate from pain and spasms??? She said she didn't know if she would smoke. I can relate to her and her 50 year old body and her teenage sons and their questions. My kids don't seem to mind my being on MMJ, just don't let the grandkids know! OK, OK she is wrong, but she IS trying to understand.

    I'm really disgusted with whoever wrote that. Not only for the MS dellusions, but also for...

    The NIH published a study showing it is impossible for marijuana smoke to cause cancer, and yet these idiots are still spouting lies. Unbelievable.

    I'm really, really tired of people holding the "useless, jobless stoners of society" stigma. It's disgusting.

    The MS Society probably won't endorse MJ or say anything about it because they probably receive federal funding. Disgusting as it is, that's how capitalism works.

    Don't be so quick to condemn this article. Did any of you answer the poll question at the end of the article? If not, vote on the poll, and check out the OUTSTANDING results!! The poll results are the best part of the whole damn article. :hello:

    The results of the poll (which basically asked would you use MMJ if you were in need...)was 95% Sure, why not? 2% the risks outweighs the benefits and 3% I don't know.

    I sure hope California votes to legalize with a landslide victory. Like this poll there is so much working for good under the surface that we need to bring up to the light.

    What are the other votes coming up election day?
