Medications Have Adverse Side Effects I'm a disabled Vietnam veteran with an arthritic disease in my spine. I am in pain 24/7. I have used marijuana off and on since 1979 and I have had several misdemeanor possession charges. Each time I got caught, I would give up smoking and try taking prescription medications, all of which have adverse side effects. I am currently being tested for stomach problems and the doctors say it could have been caused by all of the anti-inflammatory pills I have taken over the years. Even if pot does have some minor side effects, I don't see how it is any different from any other prescription drug. Greg Welburn Lawton [end]
