Since Colo and Wash legalized pot
for recreational use, instead of sending people to prison for possession of a naturally grwoing plant, there have been MANY studies begun to research the medicinal properties of a plant that has been used therepeutically, for centuries, across many cultures, before the Pubs politicized/criminalized it.

Until just recently, the ONLY research allowed by the gov't, were studies that would show the NEGATIVE effects of cannabis, SO, naturally, nearly everyone just believed the worst (Reefer Madness!) about a plant that was listed as a 'Schedule I' drug, by the Nixon administration, (to get rid of the Viet Nam war protesters), and has stayed there, in nearly all the non-progressive (Repub) states. Hopefully, we'll see some promising new cures come from the many non-THC 'cannabanoids', that make up the chemical structure of the plant, as parents from across the country move to Colorado to control seizures in their children, among many other promising developments. BUT, if we get a Pub in the White House in 2016, which could happen, (thanks to the lies and propaganda from FOX) we're back to the 'Dark Ages' of medical cannabis research. Don't you just love 'em?
