Hhm, not so sure about that...it's one of the most effective anti-emetics and thus very useful in pain treatment of people particularly with end-stage disease. I have chronic pain issues, and I can tell you it's a frustrating situation when you have a choice between suffering with the pain or taking pain meds that you know will make you sick to your stomach or have severe cramps, etc. I've never tried marijuana (nor would I be likely to) but I do understand people wanting the option to use it when nothing else works. They just need to regulate the use of it better...which frankly goes for all narcotics...way too easy to abuse any of them, get scripts from multiple doctors, etc. Another somewhat related issue is industrial hemp...a crop that could do a great deal to help farmers and our struggling economy. We're the only industrial nation that does not produce hemp, and it's time for that to be corrected. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:253787 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
