Marijuana is prescribed because it has medically beneficial properties. "Scientists have confirmed that the cannabis plant contains active ingredients with therapeutic potential for relieving pain, controlling nausea, stimulating appetite, and decreasing ocular pressure." - http://www.nida.nih.gov/infofacts/marijuana.html

No argument here. Why isn't it regulated by the FDA? [...] explain to me again why, if you live in California, you can grow pot (or import it) and sell it to anyone with a prescription without any medical, pharmacuetical or even sales training or experience.

Intrastate commerce is none of the feds' business. (As for genuinely interstate commerce in medical marijuana, since it's unpatentable it should qualify as an 'orphan drug.')

Like Aspirin?

Check out #91.

I've never used and am totally apathetic about the legality. I'll teach my kids not to touch it or steroids, or cocaine etc. I care more about the principles and respect for that which our nation holds (or is suppose to) sacred, The Rule of Law. We are eroding it with ridiculous legislation all the time.
