text: what do think about the government saying "pot" has no medical value? i read this in the paper today, and i was all "wtf?" because i have multiple medical reasons for using it and i have often tried to quit and when i do...i have pain.    just last month, i took a trip over seas, and of course, couldn't take any with me, so for nearly 2 weeks, i went without.  by the 5th night, my friend had to give me codene to help me sleep. the enemy here is the pharmaceutical companies. they do not want the competition from pot. they want you to buy their expensive - and often addictive - drugs and keep their stock holders happy with high dividends. it is a known fact you can purchase the research results that you want. i really feel for you and wish you didn't have to suffer as you do. seeing that you are so ill you will think our government would have the compassion to allow you to be treated with what works. once again big brother intrudes.
