Nobody can deny the health benefits from naturally grown marijuana. However, growing, selling and using marijuana as a drug is not beneficial. No doubt people who smoke marijuana will argue that it is not harmful, But, I know that cigarettes are harmful to your lungs and the same act of inhaling the smoke from a marijuana cigarette is at least as harmful (if not more so). I have watched 4 people in my family lose their lives to lung cancer. It is my hope and prayer that nobody else ever has to witness what that does to a person and how their death is not a pretty thing to see. I use cannabis oil to ease pain in my arthritic knee. It is very effective at relieving the pain for the entire day. I will never smoke it.
