		<description>It seems plain to me that marijuana is illegal because it is easy to grow and prepare, therefore corporations (the real government) cannot make profits from it. Compare the the attitude towards marijuana with that towards tobacco which makes huge profits for government-donating corporations. Tobacco is a much more serious threat to one's wellbeing than marijuana.</description>

		<description>Quote"This important public service had a significant payoff for the profession as well, reinforcing a growing distinction in the public mind between good drugs (dispensed by doctors) and bad drugs (available directly to the public by unlicensed practitioners)."

Some of the "good drugs(dispendsed by doctors}" are highly addictive and have too many side effects. I will not ever take any of these pain medications to help with the pain that comes along with my MS. I started smoking marijuana about a year and a half ago. I hate smoking marijuana! I hate the taste, &amp; smell. I used to feel really guilty about even smoking marijuana. Now, I still hate it, but it is the only thing that helps with the burning, tighting of my muscles and nerve pain that come along with my MS. It is the only thing that helps me get some sleep. Otherwise, I would be tossing &amp; turning all night from the pain. I only smoke marijuana at bedtime or at times during the day when I just can not deal with the pain any longer. The up side is I can still go about my life. These "good drugs" put me out of order, with the many side effects I had to deal with. I do not find marijuana addictive. As where these "good drugs" are addictive!</description>
