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. http://www.medicalmarijuanaprocon.org/pop/conflicts.htm Any thoughts, comments? |

I think medical marijuana is perfectly fine (what you put in your body is your business, as long as it doesn't make you hurt anyone else), but another important issue we have to consider is states rights. It's not Interstate Commerce for someone to grow something in their backyard. It's wrong for the Federal Government to override state laws for something that does not transcend state boundaries.

Although I personally agree, I'm still unable to understand what the precedent was that established this ruling. It's illogical in my mind...although I don't discredit the possibility of my personal bias preventing me from identifying the logic of it. |
