The medicinal angle is so disingenuous it's laughable.

If these guys had the brains or guts to argue for legalization on the merits, maybe somebody would listen to them.

The medical angle is actually quite legit, but only for a very small number (I think) who can have their chronic nausea and symptoms reduced.

The other 90 percent of the 'pot lobby' is just plain about recreational use, no doubt about it. However it's evident that people are going to use it, and locking everybody up is not going to solve it. If we spent half the money on drug education and assistance programs that we spend on prosecuting the WOSD, we'd be better off.

Exactly.

And so many who freeload and parasite on FR are thier hallelujah chorus.

Not around here.

There are plenty of people with both right here on FR that do argue legalization on the merits.
There are others here on FR that wouldn't listen to them if they had a bullhorn to their ears.
