This article is about the use of marijuana and how it is 'a gift from God.' People are telling their opinions about how cannabis is not a drug, it's something that helps with pain. "Time after time these patients tell me that medical cannabis works better than the pills, and with fewer side effects" (Smith). This quote represents the main argument in the article. People find the marijuana is less harmful, than taking pills for the pain. The side effects of pills are much worse. This argument to me is very important. I think cancer patients really have the gate way to smoking pot. The worse off patients are, the harder it is for them to eat. Their throats swell, so it's harder to swallow their pain pills.
This article connects to a paper I am writing in creative writing. I am writing about how my grandmother asked for marijuana to smoke for her lung cancer. Her pain is so unbearable sometimes she can't swallow her pills.
