Austin News 8 on Medical Marijuana

Ivanhoe Broadcast News’ Austin 8 looks at an area man’s use of medical marijuana. Estimates are that about 300000 people in the United States use medical marijuana. In April 2007, New Mexico became the 12th state to allow it — joining Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Maine, Nevada, Vermont, Colorado, Montana, Hawaii and Rhode Island.

    Legalize!

    It has been used since the dawn of man.

    It helps humans in so many ways!

    It is a travesty that the Federal Government keeps arresting sick people despite the States saying it is wrong. Support MPP!

    Marijuana has medical purposes it is medicine. It does not cause cancer or brain damage and a higher risk of heart attack is a side effect of smoke inhalation not the drug. MMJ can be used in smoke-free preperations such as foods, teas, tinctures or inhaled through a vaporizor.

    Drumbum420x, doesn’t smoking any substance increase the risks of heart attack, stroke and cancer? Not that smoking is the only way to receive the medical benefits of marijuana, but inhaling smoke is bad for people.

    It’s not linked to heart attack or strokes.

    Unless you mean it helps recover and take less brain damage from a stroke.

    I think the benefits of consuming cannabis in one’s diet from childhood would reduce the cancers in our nation. Being classified as a drug has kept it out of our diet and medical treatments long enough. Texas should lead the way for medical use and should replace the cotton fields with hemp and show America how renewable fuel from HEMP can save the farmers and the environment. Come on Texans.. demand this be considered!!!

    Why wont you legalize marijuana.
    Several of my friends as well as I voted for you because we thought that you would legalize it, but like many other thing you said you would do and have not done, this issue on marijuana is really made us think that there is no change in your policy, just the same old stuff as always.
    You have really let your voters down.
    WHAT ABOUT THE NEXT ELECTION IN 2012.
    Do you want to win?
    Sincerely a Marijuana lover and smoker!
