And yet oddly enough the medical community has had some really good results by removing a portion of the brain that is being stormed all the time. No indication in this article if the neurologists decided against this approach.

Moreover for every one of these single instances there are hundreds if not thousands of folks who are just using pot to get high

That could be true.
Personally, I do not know anyone with a certificate that wants to be high, they just want to be pain free and be able to have a restful nights sleep.
I know there is a drug that has THC which is prescription, it is possible that the parents tried this but it was not effective (which it is not in many people).

What is your objection to someone getting high? Is it the manner in which they chose to do so or is it something else?

Would much rather spark one up than have a piece of my brain cut out. If someone gets high as a result, so what?

Note how I didn't include alcohol in the list. Alcohol has ZERO modern medicinal value, therefore the set of people using it to get "high" approaches 100%

That warmth you feel is your strawman completely immolated.

Perhaps the docs thought that effective treatment achieved with a non-intoxicating plant extract and olive oil was the prima facie option vs. removing part of her brain.

Under the 10th Amendment, that is a concern for state governments, not fedgov. Do you agree or disagree?
