I am 100% for decriminalization of weed. I've smoked it on and off over the last 20yrs. Obviously smoked a lot more as a teenager and through mid-20's.
In September I broke my arms pretty badly at hockey. I couldnt sleep or move it at all and had no interest in taking more serious painkillers (T3's did nothing). So I smoked a bit of weed. Easily the best pain killer I've taken. It was quite amazing just how much better I could sleep for those 8 weeks. Even now the arm aches and bugs me so I just smoke a bit before bed and I'm golden.
Another anecdote is that I dont drink anymore due to alcholism in my family and me turning into a borderline alcoholic. I have ZERO issues with weed and could stop now if needed. Not nearly as addicting as booze (or destructive).
