Weed CAN be used as medicine. I know that, weed is already legal for medical reasons in many states. I have no problem with that.
What I said about not knowing how it effects yours brain is true though. Someone who smokes MJ ever day for years can be fine but someone else can end up with health problems. Scientists know very little about the brain whcih is why there is an epidemic of mental health issues like depression. Do you know how these issues are treated? Doctors play a guessing game by giving their patients a popular drug for depression, if that doesn't work, try another one...repeat. If we really knew exactly what causes these problems and we could better provide medicince, maybe even weed.
The medicinal properties still haven't been 100% proven though, if that was the case it would have been legalized in every single state by now, at least for medical reasons. But it's not. For every study that shows it can have "healing" properties, there is another one that shows it doesn't. Maybe wed can help treat cancer, but what does it damage in exchange? Everything has side effects.
