Should it be legal to grow your own medical pot?

The man you speak of is not an addict, because there is no such thing as a marijuana addict, marijuana holds no physically addictive substances. He may be mentally addicted, like the way people are addicted to McDonalds, but you don't even understand what he means by marijuana being the only thing that helps his headache. If you were able to relate to him at all you'd realize he probably has taken pills to medicate his headaches, but this has side-effects. It can effect your liver, and can cause nausea when the pills wear off leading to more severe headaches. Marijuana doesn't numb headaches like pills do, it actually relieves the mind of stress, over all subduing the headache. Furthermore you can't overdose from marijuana like you can pills, it's overall pretty harmless.

Where is the middle ground? Vending Machines vs Not at all? Yeah, that totally seems like the only options.

I disagree with whats going on now: walking into a doctors office complaining of a head ache and they give you a pot prescription. One guy on a special I watched said that pot was the only way to ease his headache pain. I highly doubt that. The guy is just an addict.

However, people like cancer patients need pot or something like pot. Cancer doesn't kill people so much as chemotherapy does. It makes people weak and not hungry, allowing for opportunistic diseases to come through and take over. Pot makes you hungry, food gives you strength and energy. If you gave pot to a chimo patient, maybe they'd be less likely to fall under the control of opportunistic disease and live to see the end of their cancer.

There is middle ground between vending machines and none at all.
