Party on. Honestly, I guess from a medical standpoint, I would try anything to help a person I care about feel better. Oxycontin and Morphine work well too though!

"Oxycontin and Morphine work well too though!"

They do work well, but the side effects are terrible! The side effects from pot is nothing more than a good appetite. It's a win win.

The only reason they don't out n out legalize it, is because they would have to say "we were wrong."

As you know, they don't like saying that.
