It is easy to create a buzz by taking an obvious controversial position, on an obvious controversial topic, like all the Eng 101 Freshman who want to write a paper on Capital Punishment. Better writers avoid the obvious, and find the controversy the public didn't know about. I would enjoy much more new thoughts, investigative insights, versus the easy to come by opinion on popular culture.

Dr K. agree with medical use, but how about recreational? I have a question for you:

when taking my psych 101 course, it was explained in a scientific manner how the use of mary jane changed the brain in a permanent manner for the worse. Also, I (a non-user) have seen friends (users) change and become more "spaced out" or dumb for lack of a better term. I have seen them go from normal outgoing social performers to basement dwellers who work just enough to score their next hit. Are you aware of any scientific study that shows adverse effects either sociologically or physiologically?

Love how the Kid is now an "it", you are out of touch.
