Yeah, well marijuana maybe beneficial for some conditions, but there are medicinal versions of the drug that can be used without smoking it.

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.

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.

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

Legalizing drugs will cause more problems than we have now.

Ron Paul is actually advocating the same steps to win the support of young people that George Soros uses when he goes into a new country, legalization of drugs and abortion. it’s a ploy to win the hearts and minds of the younger, less serious generation. I’d bet that Ron Paul’s foreign policy isn’t that different than what George Soros would propose, either. It’s odd that a Libertarian would and World Socialist would use the same organizing methods, don’t you think?

The proponents of drug legalization in WA have been pushing the use of marijuana as a substitute for prescription psychotropic drugs. You cannot trust a mentally ill person to know when that substitution is appropriate. Encouraging self medication is a dangerous.
