5. It's ALL "propaganda"....

...even with those who use "science" to bolster their POV.

"Medical marijuana is mostly used for chronic pain, and has enabled countless patients to either reduce or eliminate their pharmaceutical drug regimen,”

After all these years everybody knows it is a beneficial plant. Personally, my own anecdotal experience would have me proclaim it the best and only medicine I'll ever need and exactly the kind of social 'lubricant' that would eliminate the need for all the negative things in our culture.

Ill health may be at the top of everybody's fear list but if "science" is arguing with itself over the efficacy of MMJ, then it is time to move the discussion.

Clearly there is a massive economic component involved in replacing 'a 100' bestselling over-the-counter pseudo-drugs with an un patented plant from the weed family. As expected in a free-market medical industry, the propaganda from all sides is thick and heavy. And, equally obvious, is that it is really only about the money.

We should join the propaganda war instead of being played by the various segments of the industrial ruling class. There isn't , even here, a forum to express the medicinal affects of MMJ. Yet the industrial ruling class has full reign to design the playing field and set the rules.
