Here in WA state everywhere you look anymore you hear of people who are using this who have some type of Medical problem, and it is even advised when you are on Disability for helping you with your medical issues. You even drive by places and you see facilities that are set up where people actually can go in and buy Marijuana to use. I know with many of my Medical problems, people have said that this might be one thing that would help me be able to cope more, but it is nothing I would ever consider. I personally am against Drugs like this, and I think people who use it should not be allowed to do a lot of jobs out there for sure. I often wonder how they can consider growing plants like this to profit from is legal and allowed, and how much is too much? I have heard countless people say I know where you can go and get some Marijuana if you want for cheap, and go and sell it to someone else and make $$ off of it. I even have heard of people with Medical Marijuana cards doing this. Personally it makes me wonder what is illegal anymore, and to think my Tax Dollars are supporting this? Makes me wonder what next. So are you experiencing this in your areas, and what are your thoughts and feelings? ~~TINA~~

I do not know anyone personally who uses it for medical purposes. Though I have heard it has helped those where pain medication is not helpful. As for the ones who use it for pleasure, I have no opinion as I don't use it and or have anyone in my home who does. But those who get it off the tax dollars that is wrong, for them to turn around and sell for a profit. If so, wow total abuse of the system's tax dollars. Not sure if anything can be done as one would have to report and not sure it would actually stop all who do this. Too sad though.

Well, I also feel that there is a time and a place for this when this is one of the last resorts out there. I have heard that the patients do have to pay for it themselves, but they are given a Card to carry with them just in case someone ever tries to bust them. But then there are people who realize they could make money from it so they try selling it to others.. so I just wish there was a better way to try and stop this as well.

I think people that use MJ don't do alot of jobs. They are disabled vets and people with chronic pain that can't be helped other wise. In my state it still isn't legal. I wish it would become legal because I know alot of people in pain that could benefit and not be addicted to oxcoton and so forth. So I feel there are alot of pros and some cons.
