The whole drug thing will always be a heated subject but fir what its worth this is my take.

I have a friend who suffers badly with MS. She doesn't take it although there is evidence to suggest it would help with her pain. I do think that in the case where it is proven to relieve pain it could be prescribed to those that need it as long as any side effects or dependency issues are in line with those of other medications. However those who use it for recreational purposes now bang on about its medicinal properties as a way of trying to get everybody to see that if its medicinal it cant do you any harm. (Not time for that old roast chestnut surely and wait theres more). I am sure kestrel like a lot of other users of drugs and I include alcohol and tobacco in this will give the line " I can give it up anytime I want" Yeah right so speaketh the addict. Debate that one.
