Medical Marijuana for kids?
Sounds like a terrible idea doesn't it? Aren't we supposed to keep kids off drugs?
There is an interesting article posted on MSN that will make you re-think your unchallenged notions on medical marijuana for kids. For certain cases, children with extreme behavior and pain issues such as in this article, medical marijuana is the perfect solution. The article is well written, and really makes a valid case for changing our attitudes on just what medical marijuana can do. I read the headline myself, "Why I give my 9-year old Pot" and I have to admit, my first thoughts were WTF? This soon changed as I read the article.
