In specific, what gets you "high" can be the key ingredient to help fight brain tumors. Medical use of marijuana is in debate, but it is not allowed anywhere in the world yet. Previously, marijuana was believed to ease patients' pain, but this new finding suggests that it can also be a cure. Does this bring a new debate?

Compared to cigarettes and alcohol, pot is like candy. The other difference is that cigarettes (nicotine) and alcohol are hard-drugs, marijuana is a soft-drug. Why should we allow hard-drugs but not soft-drugs? Taxes maybe?

Post subject: Medical use of marijuana

A study shows that the active ingredient in marijuana may help fight brain tumors. In specific, what gets you "high" can be the key ingredient to help fight brain tumors. Medical use of marijuana is in debate, but it is not allowed anywhere in the world yet.
