"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
Self-Medicating:Andrew Sullivan offers this report on marijuana and anxiety as proof that pot should be legal. Just because a substance helps anxiety doesn't mean that its free and liberal use is a good thing. Many an alcoholic drinks to allay his anxieties. Ditto the tranquilizer addicts and narcotic addicts. (Remember The Ramones' "I Just Want to be Sedated"?) There may be many good arguments for legalizing marijuana, but this isn't one of them. posted by Sydney on
