Ok, I have to write a research paper on this topic and I thought that I'd ask the most reliable source that I know of, but I want the views of the users perspective, and medical users if possible, but of course I will appreciate any, and all opinions which are posted.
Another thing, what are some of the myths and misconcptions have you all heard of about pot in your life time. I'm doing a pro/con paper.

Can't help you, I'm a recreational smoker.

I don't know much about the medicinal benefits but I do know this.All my life I was told not to smoke pot because if I smoked it I wouldn't be able to have a child due to it would make you sterile.How ever it may lower your sperm count it doesn't make you sterile.From what I now know that it will only cause sterilization if when you break the bud up and you leave seeds in it and smoke the seeds,too many seeds smoked can cause sterilization.Just a stoners oppion but I got this information from a fellow smoker.

Need anymore info?

I already handed in my paper, but I would still like to read about what you know on this topic. you know pro/con.
Joe Gardener
well,
I don't know a lot..
I'd say 75% of it's use is for symptioms.
That both mental and physical suffering can be alleviated by resonable use of the proper strain(s).
Not all strains help all conditions and is also my argument for a development program.
I would like to see how little is needed to offer help. I mean perhaps for some mental illness that low doses in say a piece of cake might help more than a phatty twice a day.
Like I said I know little.
I read that MS people are greatly helped. I know someone with chronic pain that eats cannabutter foods daily with pain meds. because pain meds alone don't work any more and the set up in pain meds means serious adiction problems.
Perhaps a small area no one talks about is self improvement.
I feel there are positive aspects of marijuana for self improvement. This requires people use and discontinue use then reflect on their experience and how they see themselves.
