(Yahoo) Over the past few years, Californians have suffered a devastating epidemic of diseases and illnesses, all of which, strangely, only medical marijuana can cure
In other news, Americans have suffered an epidemic of previously unrealized illnesses that can, not surprisingly, only be cured by that pill they just saw a commercial for.

I just saw a commercial for Restless Leg Syndrome, and now I have it too!
Seriously, how the f*ck do the pharmaceutical companies get away with advertising that crap in the U.S.?
Cannabis is a virtually non-toxic alternative to many prescription drugs. The side effects of it are generally mild and pleasant. Why wouldn't people try that alternative? It's not like you have to smoke it.

Smoke it constantly and every day and see what kind of lung butter you hack up.

No side effects, my ass.
Yeah. I'm trying to figure out if that post was sarcasm, Tr0mBoNe.

I do and have for nearly 15 years, and suffer few side effects - certainly not "lung butter." I don't smoke cigarettes and mix smoking with vaporizing and edibles, exercise and a healthy diet. Sure I hack a bit if I inhale too much or some really heavy shiat. It's not the medicine for everyone and maybe other people already have lung butter to hack up.
There are a lot of studies to inform yourself of the benefits it does provide. Here's a place to start.
Or you could just look at it from a personal freedom standpoint.

I'll never understand why they advertise drugs on TV. I mean, I understand it because it sells drugs but for one thing, you never know what the drug even is. It's always just some chick running through a field or some old guy lying on the beach with a raging hard on. I guess in that case you know what the drug is for.
Then there's the 20 seconds of disclaimers. "Side effects may include mild fatigue, bleeding from the asshole and death". And finally, why is it your responsibility to tell your doctor about this pill? If your doctor hasn't heard of it, you should probably find another doctor.
It it not a medicine. Many people act like it is some magical, wonderful panacea. Many people at my stoner college (UCSC) argued that it cured glaucoma and treated cancer.

This times one billion.
Twenty years from now everyone's going to wonder what the big deal was and why it was ever illegal to begin with.

It's not medicine in the same way that morphine is not medicine.
It doesn't cure your mallady, but it doesn't take your mind off the pain.
