Medical Marijuana, good idea or bad? Options

[illumineering]

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?

This can go either way with me....For the against, theres a website with a cartoon short that you should go to... www.illwillpress.com , go to the toons, and click on "Drugs In Your Head"...THE ALMIGHTY FOAMY IS NEVER WRONG!! sorry, i had to...but on the for side, if weed is made legal completely, not just for medicinal purposes, it will actually reduce crime. The whole reason the drug lords are doing this is because its illegal and people pay more because of it. If it were legal there wouldnt be any reason to smuggle it, so they would get less money, and eventually go out of business. There wouldnt be any deaths in drug busts, and people wouldnt be robbing people of their drugs. Most people who smoke weed do it in their own homes and get f**ked up in their living room anyways. I admit ive done it before...ok i still do it, and honestly its not that big of a deal. Ya get high and laugh at the stupid things the other people are doing, then when the high wears off ya go home. Also, legal marijuana would help the country get out of debt because we wouldnt be spending millions of dollars trying to stop it, so we can spend the money on places it needs to be, for the homeless or for public schools, or on awareness programs, self defense programs and blah blah blah. Personally, make it legal, that way i dont have to worry about getting busted lol
