Do watch CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta's new documentary ‘Weed’. on the Internet, its so moving especially when he visits a five year old girl whose life has been saved by medical marijuana. She would have died in this country. He also went to Israel where marijuana is being used in hospitals and care homes for pain and a wide variety of conditions including cancer. He concludes that marijuana is a medicine and is saving lives, and that he was “systematically misled” about the dangers of the drug.

I will watch this alternativegran - I know two people who use it to help with MS symptoms, and others who use it to was arthritic pain.

Its on you tube Iam64. I hope lots of people watch it.

Last year I read an article from the New York Times written by an American judge who had stage 3 pancreatic cancer (May 16 2012), if you use Google it will come up as A Judges Plea for Medical Marijuana, again very moving I enclose a quote.

Inhaled marijuana is the only medicine that gives me some relief from nausea, stimulates my appetite, and makes it easier to fall asleep. The oral synthetic substitute, Marinol, prescribed by my doctors, was useless. Rather than watch the agony of my suffering, friends have chosen, at some personal risk, to provide the substance. I find a few puffs of marijuana before dinner gives me ammunition in the battle to eat. A few more puffs at bedtime permits desperately needed sleep.

I would definitely use it for my arthritis if it were legal
