Doctors group advocates use of medicinal marijuana

[bugscufle]

The American College of Physicians, the second-largest doctors group in the United States, issued a policy statement on medical marijuana this week after it was approved by its governing body.

The group cited evidence that marijuana is valuable in treating severe weight loss associated with AIDS, and nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients.

Fortunately, the two groups that govern this country, Democrats and Republicans, are wiser in the area of medicine and will maintain the status quo.

Henry Ford grew marijuana in his yard, he knew how to make a clean burning fuel out of it that would put carbon dixoide back into the air instead of smog. Part of the reason it's illegal is because the oil lobbyists knew if the word got out about this, they might be out of business.

If this works it could be huge. I care for people with Alzheimer's. It is horrible to see memories of their whole lives slowly fade. If pot does what this article says we should demand it is legalized.
