Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Medical marijuana for IBS

First of all, yes you have come across very harsh. Second, the use of MEDICAL marijuana is not just for plesure, otherwise there would be not reason that the government would allow it to be legal for patients who are suffering from a chronic disease or condition. I do not like to be told opinons that are interpreted as facts. Like I said before, your experience is obviously different than a vast majority of sufferers and that does not discredit neither you or I. I feel that you can not relate marijuana to speed when one is an upper and the other relaxes you. The point of my blog was not about how marijuana could possibly be a gateway drug because that is a decision that you would make and not the actual drug itself. Please realize that if something has helped many people and it is not as harmful as lets say alcohol than do not put it down. I could smoke everyday for years and be a productive member of society and then if I truly had to I could quit but why would I if I don't experience any bad side effects? I don't even have to smoke it, I can ingest it or vaporize it. I have control over my IBS symptoms with all the methods I could but I am not perfect and there is no way my symptoms can be 100% gone for my whole life considering there are stressors that I can not control or things that you do not experiece because I am a woman and no matter what I do I will be in pain from my periods. I do not want to be taking precriptions for my pain considering the side effects are way worse than those of marijuana. People like you are keeping marijuana illegal in this country when things like guns and alcohol are legal which makes no sense at all. All I want is to be pain free in the times when all my other resources do not help and to be peaceful, when have you heard of an instance when weed made a hippy kill someone? Never. Remember weed doesn't cause anyone do to anything that they wouldn't do if they really didn't want to and if you feel the side effects are bad than obviously you do not have enough pain that gets relieved from THC that would make those side effects worth it. We are all going to die one day, I won't to live a better life and die from something that I felt that was worth fighting for.
