>marijuana doesn't have the many good medical effects alcohol,<

perhaps you would like to elevate your education.

Your false information is about 30 or 40 years out of date.

Marijuana is saving lives now. Even today, most people think that it only helps symptoms. Wrong. It fights diseases (cancer, among others) at the same time.

example: persons going through the ~chemo theropy for Hepatitis-C suffer. Weekly injections plus daily pills for six months. These drugs make you feel like you have the flu the whole time. And each day that goes past gets worse.

Persons that smoke pot, while undergoing treatment, are three times more likely to be curred than those who don't. In addition it causes many ot the bad symptoms to go away.

Again .. it saves lives. Hep-C, left untreated, causes liver cancer.

Here are some of the more recently discovered uses:

The DEA claims that THC, the active chemical in marijuana, poses little abuse potential and supported it being rescheduled to a schedule III drug from schedule I. In prescription form THC is called Marinol. The current restrictions are the same as for Tylanol with codine.
