The supreme court has just ruled medical marijuana is illegal. Many states that have medical marijuana programs are now reviewing them to determine their legality. It's possible that someone in the medical profession who distributes medical marijuana could be prosecuted and sent to prison.

Is this fair for the people in chronic pain? If I'm dying from cancer, I could go to prison for smoking legal weed. Having had cancer myself, I think it's a raw deal for people who are really sick.

Any thoughts, comments?

thats messed up ><

they soundt make it illegal for EVERYONE

they soundnt make it illegal for EVERYONE

oops sorry for the doubl ><

It should go on a case by case review...
It's not fair just to say "no you can't have it" because other people abuse it...

Medical or Non-Medical
Marijuana is bad for you.
Its drugs. People who smoke illegal Marijuana shouldnt be doing it.
They also so ban medical marijuana

its supposed to ease the pain like morphine or something. Some countries use heroin, heroin allows you to not feel pain which is good if you have lots of pain physically.

you know theres more deaths with alcohol then marijuana, if alcohol is legal.. so should pot.

it's bad to the bong.

there are alternatives, such as morphine.

Every drug has side effects that can be generalized as "bad" for you. If the greater good is relief from pain and nausea associated with chemotherapy, how is that bad? Prescribed under the supervision of a physician, the potentially negative effects can be detected and appropriately treated. I'm not talking about the illegal use and distribution.

Click the above link to read a good chart for and against medical marijuana.

As if people don't get addicted to morphine? Morphine is a much more dangerous medicine. It's almost the same thing as heroin.

hey guys, please help me out and take this quick survey. it's for a good cause (substance abuse among youth) and your participation will be greatly appreciated! you can just click the link below. thanks~~

[censored. this has NOTHING to do with the topic. don't mess with the debate forum-fae]

quit posting this silly thing. here for the survey[/url]

Morphine is more addictive. I've heard about more people getting addicted to Morphine than marijuana.

Hell, If it somehow helps that person then hey, lemme smoke.

'DON'T LEGALIZE MARIJAWANNA BECAUSE IT AIN'T RIGHT AND IT AIN'T MORAL!'

I don't smoke, I dont eat brownies and I'm not into THC pills. Mary Jane does nothing to spark (spark, haha) my interests.

However, how is it that alcohol is ok and marijuana is not? How is it that the narcotics that are prescribed to ease our physical pain is ok and marijuana is not?

Too much morph will explode your heart. Too much liquor and you'll succomb to alcohol poisoning. Too much weed and your mother will get raped?

I'd rather not support another substance that could be abused even more than it already is. But put in persepective; why not?

That's not right. Marijuana shuold be legalized if it's only for medical reasons. That's like banning all medicines. The medicine doctors give their patients are also considered drugs, so might as well throw the doctors in jail for giving their patient medicine, too.

people who deny people treatment (aka supreme court ruling)

In some way, I agree with that. It might help you, but there are other alternatives. And think, maybe with taking all that marijuana just as medicine you get addicted to it. Then what? It could just be causing more addicts in the process, which is not what we need. Sure, it helps in some medical cases, but when there's the risk of you getting addicted is it really worth it when there are other medicines to use? I wouldn't think so. And, think, what if a doctor's office gets robbed because they had some medicinal marijuana stored away and some junkie needed a quick fix? If you just get rid of it, it stops problems before they can even begin.

Look the goverment is going to pass weed as a legal drug because of tobbacco Tobbacoo kills people everyday millions. Tobbacco gives you all kinds of cancer, plus its addictive that should be considered as a narcotic. Marijuana doesn't get you hooked like crack or heroine. Weed is easier to quit and it has to take you a long period of time to "actually" get hooked.

Trust me I know bout this things....

You don't get physiologically addicted to marijuana, like you do with other drugs, such as crack or heroin.

i think its a good idea, to make legalize med. weed. this world is too crazy to make it not.

sigh

Junkies don't get a "fix" from marijuana. people steal prescription drugs all the time and get fake Dr. orders for drugs. Oxycontin and darvocet are all over the streets here. No one complains about that.



Like what? Marajuana is the alternative drug. Without it, there are none.


People die in car accidents every day, get rid of them.
People drown in swimming pools, get rid of them.
People die in plane crashes, get rid of them.

We tried to get rid of alcohol in the 1920's. What happened? The mafia rolled in and took it over.

^It was a suggestion. People will still have medical marijuana because no one follows laws. Just because something is illegal or something will harm or kill you doesn't mean it will be completely gotten rid of.

If it is used under the strict supervision of a physician, it isn't illegal. It could only be used because the doctor followed FDA/federal guidelines for prescribing it.

S.C. don't take it personally! This is the debate forum. Thanks for checking out the thread!

You could still use marijuana bought on the streets for medical purposes. You don't just have to get it prescribed by a doctor for it to be medical.

I'm not taking it personally. ^^ I like how you're pointing out your own opinions. It's the same thing I would do. XD

Not medical

MEDICINAL.

MEDICINAL MARIJUANA
