I guess what I'm *for* is research into medical use of marijuana and/or its consituent elements.

If the medically beneficial ingredients can be isolated, and appropriate dosages identified, that would be wonderful! Simply "smoking" enough off-the-street marijuana until you feel better is, as I believe you've said, pretty sloppy/archaic, and may be dangerous.

In the meantime, I'm still in favor of seeing states allowed to set their own policies regarding the medical use of such a (relatively) powerful drug.

I agree. And I would support such a product.

"I'm still in favor of seeing states allowed to set their own policies regarding the medical use of such a (relatively) powerful drug."

On that, I disagree. We do not do that for any other drug. Why start now, and why start with marijuana? That is a Pandora's Box that I do not want to open.

Do you agree that smoking legal and regulated marijuana would be significantly less sloppy, archaic, and dangerous?

So you would say that people should be required to spend hundreds of dollars per month on pills even if they could get results they would deem equally acceptable with some plants they could cheaply grow themselves if allowed to?
