Tell that to people with severe glaucoma (among other nasty and painful diseases). If some one has a terrible diseases and it helps them have a better quality of life, I'm not going to stand in their way.

I'm a Californian, a Republican and I voted to legalize MJ for people who's doctor says it provides relief. I also don't appreciate the Fed stepping in and trampling states rights and the will of the state's voters.

But MJ doesn't help a glaucoma victim's quality of life, it only helps the quality of life of the scum that sells it, by giving him a mansion to live in.

Well, you are good to be a Republican, good to be a Californian, and ... er ... misguided to vote to legalize MJ. You didn't vote to help sick people; you voted (whether you knew it or not) to make drug thugs rich and teenagers into burnouts.

If your state flies the US flag, it follows the flag's laws. End of story.

Tell that to terminally ill cancer patients who can't find any other way to relieve the horrible pain caused by a vicious disease that has literally shredded his or her body. The idea that a terminal cancer patient using medical marijuana is somehow a threat to our national security is beyond absurd.

Honestly, the hysteria, bordering on insanity, that some people have in this country regarding the legalization of medical marijuana is breath-taking. By comparison, they make the crazies at PETA seem almost reasonable by comparison.

Even if it leads to their blindness?
