I have watched bs “medical” Marijuana ballot initiatives in other states, and uniformly they are written, funded and propelled by the 420 folks, not legitimate health care providers. In most instances where I’ve seen MDs lend their support, it is because they are in favor of full legalization, and are willing to participate in a fraud to achieve their objectives.

Strangely enough, legal Medical” marijuana prescription requirements are uniformly less stringent than other prescription drugs.

If CBD or THC or any other component of marijuana has demonstrable medical uses, I would be inclined to support the Schedule One designation being removed.

what other drug requires both a doctor's recommendation, and a state-issued license?

do you know about the endocannabinoid system, or that the federal government had acknowledged medical uses for cannabis, including for treatment of epilepsy and cancer?

the most dangerous thing about marijuana is getting caught with it.

Lots of weed hate and yet no one seems to be down for prohibition of alcohol...hmmmm pity...

pity that they agree with the failure of alcohol's prohibition of the 1920's yet ignore the fact that the war on drugs is failing before their eyes...

News flash: I would say about 60-75% of the adult people I know smoke weed. normal, hard working, most have professional careers and support their family, good ol American human beings...not thugs, not party people, not lazy welfare system abusers...

I would venture out and say that number is just about the same for everyone, whether they realize it or not. Legalization would be a victory for the majority. And in this case the majority I speak of is the working class American, that same majority Washington seems to hate.

@dennishoddy Dunno Dennis. That looks like a classic drinker's nose if I ever saw one. Alcohol will definitely "loosen" any inhibitions one might have. If the bar is already low in that department -- well -- I give you the folks in your article. LOL

Anything else I have to say will be interpreted as racist by our more sensitive members here so I will keep those comments to myself.

You know why they are "less stringent"? Because legally a doctor can NOT prescribe cannabis to a patient. As a wrongfully classed Schedule I drug no doctor can prescribe it, nor can any legitimate research be done on it for medicinal benefits. It was classed this way on purpose, written into law so the founder of the DEA could justify the division when back then the only illegal drugs were heroin and cocaine. Here is a good article that explains it.

Another reason this was pushed was paper mills. They were losing money to hemp paper, which was easier to grow, easier to harvest and easier to process than wood paper. By classifying the entire species of plant as illegal it made even the low to no THC hemp plant illegal to grow, even for textile purposes. When the "refer madness" hit, they jumped on board to kill a competitor.

Basically marijuana was made illegal for no real health concern, but to make people money. Keeping it illegal does nothing but harm society. And yet people still buy into the rhetoric that legalizing it will cause problems.
