a) He said he was against legalized marijuana, but it was the State that had to make the law under the 10th amendment.
b) If doctors believe that marijuana can help their cancer patients make it through chemo then they should be allowed to prescribe it. (My father took one dose of chemo following colon cancer surgery and refused any further treatment because it was so harsh. He has been lucky)
c) The list of prescription drugs that are extremely harmful and addictive when abused is long. So is the list of those who abuse them and doctors that prescribe them. On the other hand it would be immoral to use that as an excuse to deny the medication to those who can benefit from it.
I’ve had to deal with the afteraffects of drug abuse and addiction and I’m really starting to get tired of the folks who tell me that it’s all ok and they don’t have a problem when I have to clean up after them.
It would be nice to hear Ryan say that. It’s a victimless crime until you have to deal with drug addiction in your children. I don’t hear anyone out there saying this and it would be nice to hear it from Ryan. I’m certainly not going to get that from Obama...
Please explain why someone can use marijuana (or alcohol) and then injure/kill someone and damage property, then use the fact that they chose to ingest to evade punishment?
Name me one other medicine that the medical industry prescribes in smokable form. Then I might believe that "medical marijuana" is anything less than a complete ruse. As far as I know real doctors don't believe it's healthy to fill your lungs with smoke.
Besides, you can always grow your own dope...just plant a Democrat.
