Mind over matter is a great thing, but it will not stop truly severe pain....I have suffered through kidneystones on several occasions, the pain is unbearable, there was no amount of self hypnosis that would stop the pain I was suffering, which is why i went to the emergency room.........
I have had friends who had cancer, underwent chemo and could not keep food down, they were wasting away and nothing they were prescribed by doctors would stop the nauseousness so they could eat, they had no appetite till they started smoking pot.
Too many people still suffer from the government propaganda produced about Pot. ( Movie Reefer Madness )..... Pot is a natural plant, you do not have to do anything to it, it is not addictive like alcohol or tobacco and and most class A and class B drugs....
If someone wants to stop smoking pot they can stop over night, cigarette smokers can't stop overnight, alcoholics can't stop over night they are both addicted for thousands of people they can never stop, no bad how hard they try.
There is not a single confirmed death that has been proven where pot was the primary suspect in the cause of death of someone, tobacco and alcohol kill tens of thousands of americans ever year and is listed as the primary suspect cause of the death, there are even 2,254 confirmed deaths to viagra between 1/1/97 - 6/30/05.
It appears it is safer to smoke pot than to take viagra....
Pot is classified as a class B drug, there is no reason pot should be in the same class as speed and amphetamines.....
