The legalization of marijuana is primarily a question of compassion for sick people who must endure nausea, vomiting and other painful symptoms resulting from their chronic illness or the side effects of their treatment.
In Quebec and in Canada, numerous patients with cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and other illnesses have already testified to the relief they obtain from their symptoms by smoking marijuana. It is absolutely unthinkable that a chronically ill patient be liable to six months in prison and a $1,000 fine for using a medication that was recommended to him by his doctor. In many cases, smoking marijuana has been found to be the only treatment that effectively reduces some of the symptoms connected with their illnesses. Who can benefit? According to a Harvard School of Medicine study, marijuana (and its main active ingredient, THC) can significantly help patients suffering from such illnesses as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis. It can reduce the nausea resulting from chemotherapy and AIDS control treatments.Click the above link to visit:The Therapeutic Use of Marijuana's Web Site!
