Medical Marijuana for Kids 2

Here's a video I found about medical marijuana being used to treat kids. Originally from 20/20. Hopefully someone finds it interesting. Several cases are featured.
I find it funny how the anti-medical-mj-for-kids guy mentions that he worries it's not helping kids, just "sedating" them. Gee, I guess that means he would advocate its opposite. Hey guys, what's the opposite of sedation?
I also love the point of the mom at the end, and something I've thought of. I hate how people bring up the "OMG but doesn't it get them HIGH?" question. My response to which is: Who fucking cares? If these people are suffering, as far as I'm concerned, they deserve a little pleasure in their lives. And if they get that from their medication
[sarcasm]No, obviously the right thing to do is let these little wannabe-junkie delinquents suffer. Clearly, the Good and Christian thing to do.[/sarcasm]

this is totally fine with me. parents making responsible decisions, i like that.
also, the real gateway drug is alcohol. i didn't start doing hard drugs until i started started drinking at age 25. i just smoked weed up until then, with no intention of ever trying anything else. i hate the gateway theory.

There was a great article about medical applications with children in either Treating Yourself or Weed World. Was within the last 6 months. I need to go through a stack of mags to find out which one. A mother openly shared with the mag how she is using cannabis to treat her child.
Will post if I come across it.

I've known of some minors who's parents signed off on getting medical marijuana. These kids were around 16+ though.

I would really think that marijuana is that big of a deal for a 14 year old, that's when I started smoking and I turned out okay. There's kids where I live that are like 12 and smoke weed, they're a little bad and maybe a little to stupid to make there own decisions. But if they had cancer and felt very nauseas then I would let them smoke. The only thing that I know on a first hand account have ever had weed cure me of is nausea almost all smoke calms that but man weed really stops it.
It might not make the kid live but if my 10,12,13,14 yr. old son or daughter was going to die I would at least want them to die with as much peace as I could give them.
i.e. Kemo therapy causes nausea
-------------------- When answering a question I ask, feel free to elaborate, feel free to direct me to other threads and or internet resources. I WANT to hear good information, try to make it so I don't have to answer anymore questions. I've read a lot if I ask a question it's because I want to here more.
