A. Its not medicine.

If it is, tell me what it cures and then show me they can’t get it prescribed for other things.

B. Why are they giving it to kids?

It's insanity.

There is NO medical use for marijuana.

The part of marijuana that increases appetite, has been isolated and available for many years by prescription through a doctor. THAT is not what they want. They want the MIND ALTERING part of the drug. Wake up sheeple. Stop letting bleeding heat liberals EXPLOIT you. Use common sense, or a change.

“A. Its not medicine.

If it is, tell me what it cures and then show me they can’t get it prescribed for other things.”

If a “cure” is the criteria for being a medicine, then about 98% of the drugs a doctor prescribes isn’t medicine.

"Some parents didn’t like the message they believed the dispensaries communicated to their kids: that marijuana was an ordinary commodity that could be sold openly without fear of legal repercussions. They also worried that kids might obtain marijuana from patients, which local journalists have found happens occasionally. Mostly, marijuana just kind of freaks some people out."

Yep, sure does. I expect this thread will be full of posts about the evils of this stupid drug. But I can't see it as any more stupid than any other drug, which is why I don't think smoking, possessing or selling it should be prohibited. At least, not any more prohibited than other activities I wouldn't do but don't hurt me, personally, if others do.

So the question to you is, if the reasons to stop this are because A) it's not medicine and B) kids could (not DID, could) get it, what's different about alcohol and tobacco?

Its not medicine.

Who says it has to be medicine?

It is no different than alcohol and should be treated the same.

Let me ask this:

A. What medicine actually cures anything?

B. Kids, Children should not have access to it anymore than they should have access to alcohol.

The proper Conservative position on marijuana use is to leave it up to the States to formulate their own policies on it. California has done so.

The people on this board who want the Feds to stop it are the worst sort of anti-Constitutional liberals.

Who is "they"?

It is a plant, a weed. There is no refinement. It is likely less harmful than arugula.
