It's an issue to watch in the coming election year, there are candidates both for and against.
There are only 5 people left from the original federal marijuana program.
"Ironically, the U.S. federal government currently grows and provides cannabis for a small number of patients. In 1976 the federal government created the Investigational New Drug (IND) compassionate access research program to allow patients to receive up to nine pounds of cannabis from the government each year. Today, five surviving patients still receive medical cannabis from the federal government, paid for by federal tax dollars."
Never know what could happen but it is well documented that the "medical benefits" of weed can be recieved from pills. It is also well documented that the people pushing the medical marijuana legalization effort are using it as a way to get a foot in the door for total legalization.
Rhode Island just passed a medical marijuana law.. in fact, many states have adopted one. Patients are allowed to grow a certain amount of plants and also have caregivers grow for them. There are no pharmacies involved, no pre-rolled cigarettes, and no prescriptions. Once a person has become eligible, they are allowed to possess a certain amount and grow a certain amount (not sure of the specifics)
Move to Europe. You can smoke it in Amsterdamn 24hrs. a day,and nobody´s complaining. The Government in the U.S. is just " SICK LIKE THAT " !!!!!!!
The only reason medical marijuana is illegal is because the FDA has created a drug to help those on cancer treatment that does the exact same thing that marijuana does, and they can charge them $5,000 per does, as opposed to a few bucks for the real thing.

Never be allowed in all 50 states.
Medical marijuana is a joke. If there was anything real about it, med companies would be clamoring at the chance to isolate the components in it increase effectiveness. Which could have been done already... but has not.
Anyone in real pain could take any number of MIND ALTERING substances and get results. Just so happens that marijuana is so prevalent in our society, someone had to come up with the idea first.
