"Oregon's medical marijuana program has a "very lax system of review and oversight," Magee said. "The law is riddled with loopholes for abuse." Qualifying conditions such as "severe pain" or "persistent muscle spasms" are so vague that they allow little rigorous control over misuse, he said."
More than 80 percent of the current cardholders cited severe pain on their applications. About 30 percent cited persistent muscle spasms, and 22 percent cited nausea. Applicants often give more than one medical reason."

No, marijuana can't be good, because it's bad. We already know it is evil, so it can't be good. Marijuana cannot have any medical uses because that would mean it's not entirely bad. </sarcasm>
