Should the Government fully support marijuana research and do you believe that the Military should be open to its usage medically?

The conditions we know of that MJ could help, would mostly be very rarely encoutered or those conditions would be prohibitive of military service. Cancer being the big one, what happens if a person treated with MJ during cancer treatment becomes addicted? Then we have to grant a disability for legal(?) MJ use? Certain treatments availible to general population are not availible for troops for that reason. Until there is a much larger research pool, I am going with slippery slope.

I don't see soldiers functioning properly while receiving an opord before a mission. Physically and mentally unable to accomplish any task because of eating a bag of dorritos is more important. It's bad enough to have junior enlisted soldier come in already unfit or unfamiliar with the military. It would cause a headache for leadership which is not needed.
