Okay I realize my username isn't the best for this topic... anyways
Let's talk about marijuana. The fact that it's illegal is mindblowing. Let's ban a plant but not life crippling narcotics. We all know that marijuana is safer than alcohol.
Unfortunately with the weed being legal in certain states, I feel like the BON wouldn't care about those laws. Plus being illegal on a federal level (what.) doesn't help either.
So do you guys think weed will ever be okay in nursing? I hope one day it will be. To be honest, with all the stress (mentally and physically) we go through, a joint might be extremely beneficial. What do you guys think?

I also wonder if it's available in a pill form yet? Opium sure is.
It is legally (federal as well) in the prescription pill form called Marinol. It is used to combat nausea and vomiting in cancer patients and improve appetite in patients with adult failure to thrive.
