Yeah, well marijuana maybe beneficial for some conditions, but there are medicinal versions of the drug that can be used without smoking it.
The case in Bellingham, the guy was psychotic and under medical supervision, but decided that it was better to self medicate with marijuana, as the free drug crowd had told him that marijuana would cure what ailed him and make everything ok. He went nuts, and tried to kill his mother and sister. The father tried to stop him and got killed, instead. Marijuana is not a cure for psychosis, violent or otherwise. This man had not been violent before.
Oral administration is harder to titrate, and not appropriate for patients with nausea. Also irrelevant to the cases under discussion, absent evidence that oral cannabis is any better for mental patients than smoked.

What exactly is the "free drug crowd," and where is the evidence that the Bellingham guy was even aware of their views?
