Like you said, death is uncommon in that population. Illness is even less common. As a population ages, terminal illnesses become more common, and move up in rank on the causes of death list. Accidents become slightly more common, but the increase isn't as much as increases in heart disease, cancer, etc.

What did Obama mean when he spoke of chronic Illness

What did Obama mean when he spoke of chronic Illness?
And that some sort of panel to advise people since the cost of chronic illness and end of life illness consumed a huge proportion of medical costs. Twice I've seen these quotes, but does he even once combine the two terms, thereby conveniently leaving the door open to gosh only knows what. He was originally speaking of his grandmother and her co-morbid conditions, so it would be expected that the phrase he spoke would be , people which chronic multiple conditions that are near the end of their lives, but he didn't. I can't imagine this was as accident as we all know how craftily he prepares his speech. Was this an ignorant oversight, or was is an attempt to mislead. Here is a list of chronic illness's Chronic fatigue syndrome Chronic osteoarticular diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis Chronic respiratory diseases: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma Chronic renal failure Diabetes mellitus Chronic hepatitis Autoimmune diseases, like ulcerative colitis, lupus erythematosus Cardiovascular diseases: heart failure, ischemic cardiopathy, cerebrovascular disease And there are plenty more. The real jist of it all is to how much each ailment robs the public coffers.

As a cancer patient... YES Beyond that... the fda and gov both recognize the medicinal properties of thc as they have made a synthetic thc perscription that costs 10 times what real marijuana costs. Its called marinol. http://www.marinol.com The fight against legal medicinal use is that most people honestly believe it was made illegal based on medical and scientific proof that it was bad bad bad. When it wasnt. Its a cop out argument, but even cocain and lsd and heroin can be given medicinally, but not marijuana? It is not chemically addictive, unlike the meds currently legal such as morphine, oxy, ativan, xanax, other benzodiazapines, steroids, ect. It is a fraction of the cost of those other meds. And me personally like to actually know whats going on instead of being so drugged that I have weeks that I dont remember (not because of abuse, that is from doc ordered doses while in the hospital of morphine and ativan. literally, weeks that I dont remember)
3 :
Yes. Hemp, if it were used industrially, would be very, very good for our economy. It also has heaps of medically uses (as you've listed), and is actually much, much better for your overall health than the abovetheinfluence propaganda would like you to think.
4 :
Yeah for all uses including recreational. It is a hell of alot safer than alcohol or tabacco the only reason the government doesnt legalize it is because it would crush the black market which the government is a part of.
5 :
I would just ignore the stupid laws, if everyone had one plant growing it would render the law unworkable.
6 :
Of course!!!! My mom use to work in housekeeping at a hospital, and she told us that the cancer patients are given marijiana cigaretts to relax them and to help patients eat.
7 :
Yeah, should definitely be legalised. It's a lot better than alcohol, alcohol is used in cough syrups etc, but alone it has no medical use. It is actually a depressant.
8 :
yes I would legalize marijuana for medical purpose's.

Yes.

of course so write your congress men and woman

yeah for sure.... i smoke every day and here in california we already have it legal for industrial and medical use. The only reason the government hasn't allowed it is because they dont know how to tax it.
