Tabor: Why are you so upset man? I think you need some better smoke, maybe? Anyway to answer your ridiculous question about a gun shot wound, of course you want something stronger than weed, that is why these other medications exist. What about a headache though? Should you take morphine for that? What about other minor pain? That is the point, marijuana will not cure all, nor will it relieve all but it does help, just like tylenol, or a minor pain killer does. It also does not have the death/addiction factor related to it like other meds do.
Now yes I smoke recreationally too, we are far ahead of the rest of the world in the quality of marijuana, primarily due to the medical scene, so you should enjoy that. Also why do you care so much what others think about weed, I mean if you have been smoking for thirty years isn't being looked at as sick better than being looked at as crazy? I am sure everyone on here wants marijuana legal all over the board, but unfortunately we are not the majority, or important enough minority to change it yet. It will come though. Doesn't California have two different measures to legalize in 2010, maybe if you are so convicted about your feelings you will participate in getting these passed.
