Regardless of what practical applications marijuana might have, I just learned my father died yesterday of cancer. From what I have learned his death was painful and slow, ending with him on a morphine drip until his body just gave out. I would much rather have known him to have died in peace smoking weed every day, rather than in a hospital bed being fed hard drugs.
From this point forward I am going to take a more proactive interest in the medicinal properties of marijuana, and support legalization if for nothing more than as a pain remedy. I'm not counting on it curing cancer, but anything is better than a concoction of chemicals until your eyes glass over and you cant even feel anymore. |
