proper use
"I could try to smoke some marijuana and learn if it relieves me of my pain and discomfort but I am 99.99 % sure that the marijuana is not going to address the associated problem with the knee itself...rather the marijuana is going to simply relieve me of the discomfort and make me feel comfortable and at ease with the condition."
See how you are ignorant of the proper use of cannabis. You could simply use a cannabis salve, That would make the pain go away and you wouldn't have to smoke at all.
"I take the formula and the condition "does go away" because the ingredients are part of the associated knee function and relative to the associated problems of cartilage degeneration."
Well is that formula really essential?
"I envison all the more people turning to marijauna to solve their medical conditions when that is not the correct way to address the medical condition and solve the associated problems of the condition."
You can envision whatever you want, thats not going to make it true.
"It will become way to easy for people to smoke some marijuana and then claim they feel better while stoned on the marijauna while not correctly addressing the root of the problem."
Pure speculation, and all that would be able to be addressed if cannabis was legal.
" envision legal medical marijuana becoming just one more quick fix drug used and recommended by people and or physicians to relieve people of what ails them rather than understanding that there are better natural choices and or lifestyle choices that can eliminate the problems or relieve the patient of the problems but not by way of a drug effect type of substance administered to the patient."
Cannabis is natural, been used thousands of years, envision all you want, but please take reality into account.
"Once the drug becomes part of the mainstream medicinal products available for consumers to choose you can be assured it will be misused and abused and corrupted and touted as a cure all for what ever ails you rather than practising better health and better lifestyle choices."
Thats right no drug will change peoples choices, which is counter to what you have been stating.
"The scam artists and con men are waiting in the shadows for this one to become a regular mainstrem medicine to be sold to the public."
You mean like hundreds of years ago when it was legal and was commonly accepted as a medicine? They wouldn't be called scam artists and con men if they push something that actually helps.
"If it is proven that specific elements derived from cannabis can be applied to the patients medical condition then then I would support it, of course."
That is the whole problem with Mode-earn drugs. They are not natural, they are refined substances which are not complete. Marinol is the perfect example of a failed pharmaceutical that tries to mimick a natural herbs potency.
"Anyhow...if it is drug you can expect good intentions to run amuck more so than most other substances."
Any time money is involved we can be sure there will be problems.
For the Love of money is the root of all evil.
