I personally hate all the rediculous hyperboles of misinformation regarding the medical uses of pot used by some old stoner friends on mine. Seems to me everytime there's a pot legal discussion there's one of them who pipes up and says crazy crap like 'pot prevents cancer.' Sure pot can help some people with cancer by making the pain go away and increasing appitite (Because they are stoned off their ---), but I've never seen evidence to say that a joint a day is the variable that keeps the cancer away. I agree it probably should be legal, but I hate people who think that the average healthy person has something to gain from pot use
. The way I see it is that pot can help some people, and also can be recreational for many whithout being any more of a danger to society than substances that are already legal.
