"If you want medical marijuana please don't sell it as a cure all for these diseases. "

Exactly. IMHO Medical Marijuana is a wedge through which certain people wish to drive lax drug laws.

I don't believe I said cure about any of them.

People who suffer from all of those I listed have already received some relief from cannabis consumption. This has been very well documented.

It is beyond my imagination that someone from the US would insist, by law, that all of those people must suffer more than they have to.

Do you make a distinction between the words 'cure' and 'effective treatment'?

For example... where are the 'cures' for arthritis, or Alzheimers, or cancer, or diabetes, etc., etc., etc

(Isn't *most* of what the modern pharmaceutical industry markets merely 'treatments', not total 'cures'?)
