Out of curiosity...?

for those who are completely against the medical use of Marijuana, what do you think of this statement I found on Wikipedia.
"A recent study by scientists in Italy has also shown that cannabidiol (CBD), a chemical found in marijuana, seriously inhibits the growth of cancer cells (including breast cancer) in animals."
Answer:
I do not doubt the medical benefits of medicinal marijuana, especially here in USA. THe problem is how do we regulate it so that it doesnt get in the wrong hands such as young teens, etc.

Also, if we allow legalization of marijuana, some people will believe that other "hard drugs" like cocaine should be legalized.

You don't have to take my word for it; these issues have been debated in congress for several years now. And you better believe it that some of these politicians are smoking some weed (and other drugs) and then speaking to the public about prohibiting marijauana. Hypocrites.
Leave it in the medical community and remove politics from the debate for best result.
Well I live in Italy and I can tell you that the sciences here are not given as much credence as studies done in the United States because the technology here is so behind. I'd say that I'd need a study for a more credible source than this country.
When the medical profession is more intent on money and funding for research than in looking for cures, you see that there is no way they want something as simple as marijuana to take the spotlight. We have heard that marijuana does indeed help not only cancer but is a painkiller that has less side effects than many medicines that are on the market today. To ignore possible cures because of their connotation is just plain stupid.
It is just that Marijuana is good for some things and bad for other things. In the near future it will be used by prescription for the good things it does for some people.

My breast cancer treatment consisted of a mixture of things. One was made from a yew tree. We use bee %26 snake venom, trees, barks, molds and fungi to make meds. Why is it so hard for politians to understand we should look into cannibis as well. People abuse alcohols, and prescription drugs, and I don't see anyone rushing to rid the world of those.
i dont really know a lot about marijuana being used for medical purposes. But for future references wikipedia does not always have the most accurate information since anyone can go on the site and change the words around.
for medical purposes i have no problems for marijuana being used. but only for medical purposes and only with a prescription from a licenced doctor.
