it is also used in medical situations.
my mother was offered it when diagnosed with cancer. she turned it down and suffered through the treatments. she was violently ill for a week after each treatment. she was on the floor heaving, could not eat for that week, lost weight every month for a year. god bless her that she has been cancer free for 12 years now.
i have two other freinds who used weed while going through their cancer treatment and they were not in pain. they were able to eat normally and keep food down while going through chemotherapy with no weight loss.
i have had people in the house that when given a couple of drinks are a pain in the ass. yet if they go outside and have a puff they come back in nice, calm and relaxed.
i have no problem with it being legalized, treat it the same as liquor.
