There has been a lot of thought provoking conversation I missed since yesterday.
First let me say I am sorry to read of sheeplady's medical issues. Many of us have either personally gone through or have close family members who've dealt with cancer. To put it mildly, it's a horrible experience for all involved.
I don't think we need anyone jumping in just to point fingers about how disgusting we are for not living up to their standard of compassion...
With regards to medical research I have no issue towards research and application. I view it as I would any other medicine. Just like any other medicine I prefer a high standard of research, review, and application with the full understanding that every drug has negative side effects. Current medical dispensaries seem like little more than "head shops" from my youth.
It's a shame the conversation about recreational and medical use are intertwined. These are two very separate issues and lumping them together hurts those who would benefit from proper medical application.
