1) I am a perfect example of what weed can do for your moods. I have been on anti depressants and anti anxiety PRESCRIPTION meds for over 30 years. Now, not only am I prescription free for those diseases, but I also no longer need the blood pressure meds that I was on for 20+ years. What did I do? I started smoking weed every day. The same amount, day after day, with the only difference being that I switch up what I am smoking on a regular basis so I do not build up imunity to certain strains.

2) After having ovarian cancer and having to have a full hysterectomy in 2007, at the age when I should have been in my prime, my sex drive was NIL! And I gained weight. What did I do? see above! And I stopped gaining weight, believe it or not. I am actually beginning to lose a little bit. And my sex drive is through the roof! My husband has always been strictly anti marijuana, but he is slowly admitting that it has saved our marriage!

3) I was always one to drive far too fast and dangerously! Many speeding tickets in my lifetime. Costing me a bunch of money and almost losing my license. What did I do? You guessed it. Now I tend to stay with the other traffic. I am not being pulled over for excessive speed. I also have found that my concentration on the whole act of driving has improved immensely! I was always turning in front of people who would then lay on the horn for my being so close, etc. Now I pay more attention to the other vehicles and obstacles and less on the radio or the phone or the passengers being loud and active.

I have given weed in food to my parents, my inlaws, and a few other people. Just enough to help them sleep with their various elderly ailments. I helped my parents to be able to sleep at night and to raise their O2 levels. Their COPD eventually claimed both of their lives, but atleast I was able to make their final few years more comfortable than any of the meds the drs were prescribing for them. Same situation with my inlaws,

I know people who use it for cancer, for chemo side effects, for fibromyalgia, for MS, for parkinsons, etc etc etc. So dont tell me that it will kill me or cause me to do other drugs or that I am worthless etc etc etc.

The war on drugs was lost a long time ago! Time to wake up World!

It is bad for you if you take it a lot when you are young, they have proved that much.

In moderation I don’t think it’s bad for you at all. I think it’s actually good for you.

I suppose if it were up to you, you would withhold medical marijuana from sick people?

you mention there are still places in Switzerland where buying and selling is still tolerated – just wondering where they are and do you mean there are shops/cafes or just that dealing in private is tolerated?

i’ve walked round Zurich with friends openly smoking big doobies and the police didn’t bat an eyelid. There were shops in basel until quite recently but they seem to have all been closed down

i popped into cristiana while in copenhagen in 2005 and had a similar experince to yours – police would walk round, spliffs were held out of sight, police ignored the obvious and then left and everything went back to normal, quite bizarre

Yes. Curing. Cancer.
