I have no issue with the notion of cannabis being used medically or for medical uses, because that is simply being accurate, cannabis has some great medical properties. I do have a big problem with american medical cannabis though. However they are two different things and should not be lumped together.
What i really really hate though is all these people running around saying they need to medicate, or need to go grab their medicine. If i have a headache i do not say i need to medicate or that i need my medicine, no, i say i need an aspirin. When one thinks of medicine or medication one thinks of insulin, heart medication, in short medicines that are used to combat very serious and present issues or dangers, not relieve a headache or help you get to sleep a little better. MMJ users lives are not about to suddenly end should they not be able to take it, they will simply be in a bit of discomfort. They need to stop being such pretentious pricks. They do nothing but look like daft cunts and tar any positive stance you've been able to create regarding cannabis. They have as you say, managed to take what is in reality a golden egg and turn medical cannabis use into a joke. And the bellends don't give two damns about anyone else because hey, they have their card so why the fuck should they care any more.
