But also note that painkillers do nothing good for your body either, other than alleviate suffering in patients. At least marijuana isn't as dangerous as most prescription, extra-strength painkillers, which often contain creepy chemicals of questionable origin.Unless I missed a spectacularly important breakthrough in medical science, I think you'll find that marijuana cannot cure any disease at all.
It is claimed by some that it helps alleviate some symptoms for some people suffering from various disorders - but there's no disease or illness that it can cure.
But recreational drug use...just freaks me out. Though I'm not altogether against it being legal, it's gross to think that people are smoking away the time they could actually be doing something useful with their lives. I overhear other people (in public places with security cameras) talking about how awesome it was last time they did marijuana, how they're going to do it again this weekend, etc. I'm a bit disconcerted by how much these teens have materialized their lives already, before they've reached adulthood and figured out what to do with their lives. They should be focusing on school, home, and friendships right now; not on how great they feel when under the influence of drugs.
