First off, I wish you a speedy and full recovery.

I supported legalization here in CO for the same reasons CZ and canvasback cited. At the same time, I thought medical marijuana mostly snake oil and a backdoor path to legalization. Im surprised by how wrong I was about the medical side. Its real and has immensely helped a couple people I care about (Chrons disease and multiple sclerosis). Interestingly, they dont get very stoned. The psychoactive parts have been largely breed out of certain medical strains. People are investing their money in medical cannabis research, which is my indicator of bullshit vs real. I would be full of shit if I didn't acknowledge that a lot of medical marijuana users just want to get stoned.
