There are many respectful doctors and members of the media including a multisegment report by Dr. Sanjay Gupta on NBC that outlines and documents the advantages of medical marijuana for certain types of illnesses. What you do not realize is that most of the types of medical marijuana available in legal states, like Colorado, does not contain the ingredient that makes the person taking it high, just provides relief from pain and seizures. As a parent with a daughter who cannot take any traditional pain relievers, a trip to Colorado gave her tremendous relief. Come on, Tulsa World, become informed. James R.
