Controversay Medical Practices

We hear so many different ideas out there now a days about different treatments for all kinds ailments. One of the most controversial and talked about ideas is the use of Medical Marijuana to assist people dealing with pain associated with many treatments and diseases. There are arguments for both sides, for the use to assist these people in coping with their pain and suffering and those whom believe it is an illegal drug and should be treated that way. I am with those that feel under certain circumstances it should be an acceptable treatment form if it is the most effective and best alternative for the individual. If the Doctor and patient both agree that this is the best option available it should be ok under strict supervision and doses. I would be very interested to hear your opinion on the matter.
