No one is deceived that the medical marijuana movement is really a cover for full legalization. ... Medical marijuana makes people sit up and listen who would otherwise be too indifferent or too impatient to consider the facts about Prohibition.

You contradicted yourself. If using the term 'medicine' makes people sit up and take notice when in fact it has carcinogenic properties and those who tout it couldn't care less about drug addicts dying, then it is a most pernicious dissembling. Young people hear the Marxists and Libertarians touting so-called 'medical marijuana' and think to themselves: "Well, gee. If it's okay for sick people to use it, therefore it must be really okay and harmless for well people, too!"

You have just argued against the use of any medication of any kind. Bravo!

I did not contradict myself in any manner whatsoever. I haven't the slightest problem with people poisoning themselves if they so choose and understand the consequences. Cigarettes and alcohol poison people. Why do you think people get drunk?? Because they're suffering the early stages of alcohol blood poisoning. Many medicines are quite deadly if not administered properly, including, say, Tylenol. The utter illogic of the prohibition war is to take extreme and quite rare circumstances and pass them off as rationales for general criminalization.
