Yes, the oil is favorable to morphine and other drugs but weed by prescription is critical, too. Way back when my friend Doug had cancer, I watched him suffer and weed would have helped. Just today it was announced low level pushers are to be released from prison. If you study the damage done by alcoholic beverages versus weed, legalizing it would create jobs, reduce prison head count, produce hundreds of billions in tax revenue and make life easier for millions. - -- Joe Hubbard Macon - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
