Dispensary owners report 50 to 300 percent rise since Obama took office:The number of ailing people turning to medical marijuana to ease their symptoms has spiked this year, say dispensary owners in some of the 13 states where it's legal. Requests have jumped anywhere from 50 to 300 percent, they say, since President Barack Obama took office and signaled that he won’t use federal marijuana laws to override state laws as the Bush administration did. Others say the economic downturn may also be responsible as more people without insurance are seeking alternatives to costly medications.

at the rate we are being taxed in California, we’re gonna need a lot of it to ease the pain.

...I gave it up a year ago, when I had to submit to private company drug testing, since I lost my lively hood. The same Big business, Big Fed “Heads” that squeezed me out, want me under their thumb, drove me to AA. Good thing they tax alcohol, now we have good roads that we can get drunk and drive on. We might be doing burnouts in a cornfield...

...and at the rate it could be taxed, I could see it ease the pain in more ways than one. In general, I’m not for legalising drugs, but if meth and cocaine can be prescribed by specially certified doctors in extreme cases, why not marijuana? IMO, it should be moved down at least to schedule II, if not schedule III.
