Here in the UK they partially decriminalised pot and then not long after they reinstated it as higher classification, it really amazes me, when there are doctors here who will prescribe it for arthritis sufferers and people with cancer, my little brother could've used it when he was having chemo and radiotherapy and a friend of mine went out of her way to get him some medical grade pot to help him!
I know there are some people who have issues with smoking it too AtLast, and my advice to them is to cook with it, you can make a tincture in vodka which you can apply directly to the affected areas, and that's not something new, I read about it when reading about victorian medical practices ... Also, when ingested the effects last for longer, but what they really need to do is further research into using the painkilling element of the canaboid for pain relief.
Also, and this is an aside from the legalisation issue, and something which still disgusts me to this day, the research department in Newcastle University found a cure for arthritis, which was one injection, per year, which left sufferers of arthritis totally pain free until the next injection and the pharmaceutical companies here quashed it because, from what I saw, they knew they would lose millions in revenue
