Just consider yourself lucky to at least live in a medical state.... I dont have a chronic illness. neither does my boyfriend. But there are other reasons people use MJ. you dont have to have a chronic illness to use it medically and get super benefits out of it.

for ex. My boy weighs around 120 lbs. he doesnt like eating he says he feels like it's wasting time. but when he is actually hungry he loves food. So in order for him to gain weight he has to toke and eat to force himself to be hungry. He isnt anorexic because he does eat....he just doesnt have any appetite. So toking for him is sorta important sometimes. Does that mean if we ever have the chance to get a medical card he shouldnt just because he isnt diagnosed with a certain disorder or disease?

I on the other hand lost 60lbs from toking.....made me learn to overcome being hungry if you can learn to overcome the munchies. I learned to take that task and apply it to life when I am hungry and dont need to eat.

MJ has alot of other potential values for medicinal purposes. It's sorta to bad that the medical community in most areas have it so limited. I would think that if there was no reason to perscribe people MMJ that doctors wouldnt do.

when someone is dying in chronic pain they give them morphine, when my boy tore ligaments and tendons in his leg they gave him morphine, does that make him less entitled to it because his condition wasnt serious? No. It did what it was supposda do in both cases. Which there are many reasons people use MMJ they shouldnt be criticized because their reason wasnt good enough.

I think medical should be available to who wants it because I think that it should be a decision a adult can make. As long as they have a good enough reason for it and it is legit. Who cares if johnny over there uses it to sleep where as joan over there uses it for chronic pain for cancer? They both deserve it. they both made the decision to put something organic into their bodies instead of something chemical that you have no idea what damage it could do to your body and mind.

getting a card because your dealer is out and you want it easier isnt a good reason. I dont agree with that. And everyone who has a chronic and bad illness should come first.

but everyone should have the right to choose their medications. whether it be MMJ or not.
