There seems to be a slow evolution of national mood in this libertarian direction.
I could see worse resolutions to this issue than putting marijuana and derivatives back into the US Pharmacopoeia, and leave it to duly licensed physicians to prescribe it for whatever reasons they see fit, with the caveat of being responsible for careless prescribing (where the marijuana was reasonably expected to do more harm than good in the case, and yet it was prescribed anyhow). It would not be a perfect system, there would be people sharing it whether or not they were supposed to and others getting it by malingering, but it would still kick most of the stuffing out of the black market.

Naw, I think that the 50% on Gooberment Bennies see a tax windfall where as they can stay stoned and keep getting the Bennies.
