Medical Marijuana a misnomer
completely erroneous take on cannabis use
first of all in recorded history no one has ever died from cannabis. secondly marijuana is a slang word for cannabis. thirdly most people die from doctor prescribed drugs,around 400000 people a year. also not to mention the people that become addicted to pain killers! many of our elected officials have admitted to using cannabis. The only reason it is illegal is because drug companies cannot stop people from growing it themselves and it cuts into their profits. alchohol is the number one drug for auto accident,suicide,family breakup,crime and liver damage. but yet it is legal and young kids die in auto accidents in high school proms and racing down the road. but yet no one dies from cannabis. get your head out of your ass and look around.
