Thoughts on marijuana
I can’t help but wonder why a doctor would write a prescription to smoke anything. Today’s marijuana contains 50-70 percent more tar and cancer causing chemicals than regular cigarettes.
I know there are cases where the product can be made into a capsule or oil (minus the THC) that can be beneficial for some people.
Marijuana stays in your system for many days, so you probably shouldn’t drive or take a drug test at work.
I also wonder why you can’t take a prescription to your local pharmacy instead of going to a “special” store.
