26. no, but some of us do.
I have a neck injury that has haunted me for years. Not only do I have pain in my neck, I also can't remember what it is like to live with out a head ache. Then the migraines at least twice a week. I smoke pot. It relieves the pain. I'd rather smoke pot, than get hooked on pain pills.

We just passed medical MJ in Maine. Too bad my medical issues didn't make the list of "acceptable" medical problems. It's safer than pain pills. It's safer than alcohol.

And yes, I believe it should be legal.

It's cheap to grow, and the plant is useful for more things than just "getting high", but the pharmaceutical companies, and the textile industries would lose too much money.

Our government wastes billions of dollars a year fighting it. Our elected officials have their pockets lines by the pharmaceutical industry. It's about the money, not people getting high.
