I can agree with that. And if the people of a given state wish to change the laws, there's a process.

"Are the positive effects of cannabis to be denied?" Doctors used to believe bloodletting was the cure to all ills. Your advocating of weed and how it's some miracle drug reminds me of some of these MLM schemes in which the drink or pill is claimed to cure a plethora of ills. "Use this product and it will lower cholesterol, cure diabetes, indigestion, gout, kidney stones, cataracts, athletes foot, joint pain, arthritis, flu, the common cold, allergies and hay fever, allergic reactions and it will cure cancer!" I don't deny the claim that medical weed has helped relieve pain in much the same way as codeine has.

That's a good starting point. We can agree that it does help those in pain. But what about symptoms relating to PTSD, Parkinson's, Epilepsy, etc.?

"Should he be denied legal access?" He can move to CA or CO or some other state which allows medical weed.

Again, we agree. And if citizens of a given state wish to change the laws, there is a process.
I noticed that you didn't answer the "sin" question. Can you elaborate on why? Or are you still contemplating the issue?
