I had a dear friend die 6 months ago of colon cancer that spread to his brain and caused awful headaches.  The doctors put him large amounts of cortisone to help reduce his brain swelling.  The cortisone and pain made it hard to sleep.  He tried all sorts of Rx medicines that left him too groggy to visit with his wife and kids.  The only medicine that allowed him to sleep peacefully was a certain strain of cannabis.

I think about my dear friend who was brought some measure of comfort in the last weeks of his life by enjoying something we all take for granted, a couple of hours of pain-free, restful sleep.  He said, "the cannabis makes it all melt away."

Why disparage this medicine and insult and disrespect the people who need it?  It usually takes witnessing a close family member who is dealing with an awful illness and finds some relief with cannabis to change the minds of people like you.  I hope you come around on your own and never lose a loved one like I have.
