Your statement that anyone who favors medical use is a drug abuser outrages many - I would advise you never to repeat it in a bar.
Your points, one by one:
>I'm saying that legalizing Marijuana so medical patients can have THC, would be like legalizing heroin so patients can have morphine.
Marijuana contains something like another 149 active compounds besides THC. Due to federal laws, it is very difficult for anyone to explore the activity of any of them. What is known is that marijuana is effective against nausea and glaucoma. I suspect that its effect on the blood brain barrier is what makes it effective in cases of brain cancer.
Heroin has many compounds as well, and UK physicians use it about 1/3 of the time for severe pain management
>I'm not against the legitimate uses of cannabis,
Thank you for ceding.
>but there are many druggies using the issue of medical marijuana as a trojan horse to push their own agenda
So if you took the issue of medical use from them, their arguments concerning general use would have to stand on their own -
