Individual titles by MAPinc DO I THINK Do I think the medical use of marijuana should be legal? No more than I think morphine should be legal for the pain of serious illnesses or injuries, or that Ritalin should be legal for the treatment of attention-deficit disorder in children despite its underground popularity as a stimulant among cramming college students, or that steroids, although abused by some coaches and athletes, should be prescribed for certain illnesses and injuries.
