No. What is immoral is the scam being played on the American people by those who wish to legalize "medical" marijuana. What's medical about it? No major medical organization supports smoked marijuana. Studies are incomplete, at best. Its analgesic properties are anecdotal.
Does that even matter? Listen if folks want to smoke marijuana, who are we to butt into their own business? Doesn't bother me. Especially when folks have terminal cancer, we should allow thm to use what they want from the garden for treatment.
What bothers me are folks who think people are too dim to handle personal responsibility or the consequences.
Those who wish to legalize marijuana are using the sick and dying as pawns. They hope that "medical" marijuana will be the camel's nose under the tent. They couldn't care less if marijuana helped a patient or not.
Marijuana dulls pain and increases appitite. Thats good enough for me.
I seriously think marijuana is overrated, but the social conservatives can't handle intoxicants in society well and have a need to control personal morality and I understand that.
"We" are society. Democratically, we decide the rules under which we will all live together.
"Especially when folks have terminal cancer ..."
Because they have terminal cancer they should be allowed to smoke marijuana in a hospital? Ah, you'd say no. You'd make an exception for that. You can make an exception, but I can't.
Oh, if they have terminal cancer and they're going to die anyways, can we harvest their corneas and other body parts before they die? I mean, c'mon, they're going to die and we can really use the parts.
Can we experiment on them to find cures for other diseases? Remember, they are going to die.
"I seriously think marijuana is overrated"
I'm guessing that you find other soft drugs similarly overrated. Perhaps, to avoid being hypocritical, we should also legalize peyote, shrooms, nitrous, Ecstasy, Ketamine, GHB, maybe LSD?
"... but the social conservatives can't handle intoxicants in society well and have a need to control personal morality and I understand that."
Alcohol is legal. Given the current societal problems associated with alcohol, maybe you can understand how it is that "social conservatives" are not in a hurry to legalize other recreational drugs.
