My argument was that just because something appears in nature, doesn't mean it should be used without discretion. Man should use intelligence to turn what nature provided into tools for survival.

weed?!? whats that? is that some kinda new drug that no one has ever heard of, or used, or studied?

I've not looked specifically into the use of marijuana as a cure

some of us have done the exact thing you just admitted to not doing. its not blind as you keep assuming. do you really believe no one knows what happens if you swim in lava, or play in poison ivy? thats why your argument is asinine.

I have no problem with people using it in an isolated place, where they cannot bother others.

they already do, unless you think were going back to smoking (weed, but not cigarettes) in restaurants and airplanes?

Point is that you have to be smart with using what is provided to us in nature.

take your own advice.

we're free to question things.

use your brain, ask better question, even better, see if someone else hasnt already found the answer for you.
