Do you think cannabis should be allowed for medical and personal use?

Yes, as an adult it is your choice what to do to your body.

Of course. I suffer from gastroparesis and having access to legal medical marijuana would be wonderful, as marijuana is GREAT for nausea... it takes the nausea away better and more quickly than just about anything, and with dosages not even high enough to get a person 'high' ... people who are healthy or brainwashed by big pharma don't understand how much money there is behind expensive drugs that won't work half as well and are arguably harder on the liver.... in the case of nausea, you are talking about the drug 'zofran' which I've tried and is useless for nausea caused by digestive problems.

People with sliding hiatal hernias who get nausea would benefit as well as cancer patients, etc.  Reduce suffering....

Medical reasoning aside, people should be able to use whatever drugs they want just because the drug war is idiotic. Police should spend time doing better things than worrying  about people who casually use drugs. Some get caught, some don't, and the wealthy can 'buy' their freedom as well. It's very biased against the little guy as well as minorities since they will get profiled with harsher punishments just for their race.

I think all drugs should be decriminalised and regulated.

Current laws/prohibition isn't working and only serves to line the pockets of villains.

Yes,it is proven cannabis can be healthy soemtimes and even cure cancer

[madzooka]

I don't think it is good for personal use but as for medical use - why not?

[TrailingComet]

Abosultely unquestionably yes
The bias against marijuana and in favor of alcohol never ceases to amaze

Marijuana seems to yield considerable medical benefits for many Americans with ailments ranging from glaucoma to cancer, but these benefits have not been accepted well enough, on a national level. Medical use of marijuana remains a serious national controversy.

In order to fight the argument that marijuana has no medical use, legalization advocates need to highlight the effects it has had on the lives of people who have used the drug for medical reasons.

New discovery reveals how cannabis can alleviate intestinal inflammation

A new study from scientists at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and the University of Bath has uncovered the first biological mechanism that could potentially explain how cannabis reduces intestinal inflammation.

"There's been a lot of anecdotal evidence about the benefits of medical marijuana, but there hasn't been a lot of science to back it up," explains Beth McCormick, director of the UMass Center for Microbiome Research.

A number of studies have found that many patients suffering from IBD successfully self-medicate with cannabis, the drug helping them manage a variety of symptoms from nausea to abdominal pain. The evidence to date has been frustratingly unclear over whether cannabis actively confers therapeutic anti-inflammatory effects, or whether the psychoactive cannabinoids are simply masking the symptoms.

i understand that there are several good uses of cannabis . Unlimited functions like curing of diseases such as cancer and so many functions however food and drugs authority got no other options than to cease it if they find out its causing much harm than good. Cannabis is destroying several youth. They abuse them. I believe its a strong medicine for many illness but once abused , you leave them no option than to tag it illegal

Just look at those who already did that. Do people in the Netherlands live worse? No.

Why ban it then?
