I would not arrest anyone that truly needed it for medical reasons. However, more than 99% of the people supporting it do not need it for medical reasons. They want it simply to get high.
If the medical marijuana crowd ever wants to get support, they need to make the stoners stop talking in front of cameras.
I think the idea of letting states decide is a wise one. That’s where the 10th Amendment puts the responsibility.
You simply have know idea what you are talking about.
I agree. I recognize some limited medical benefit but for the most part its simply lying. I’d be a lot more accepting if they simply told the truth and said they wanted to get high.
If its for medical uses I want to know why it isn’t subject to the laws of other prescription drugs. About a year back there was a “doctor” in Lansing MI. who was giving out med pot prescriptions to people who registered to vote. Try that with Xanax or OxyContin and see where it gets you.
It’s a shame, really. America just can’t get past the giggle factor when it comes to medical marijuana. Unfortunately, sick people are being denied helpful medication – and we are persecuting the sick, dying, and lame. Sad.
Although I am happy to leave the issue to the states, the obvious remedy for this legal/medical morass is to reschedule marijuana as a Schedule 2 drug, like morphine.
Of course, the ultimate solution is to legalize marijuana – treat it like beer. That’s what free people would do.
