Medical Cannabis

[Guest guest]

Jenn,

Have you watched Nat'l Geographic's special on California and their medical

marijuana laws? They have " churches " where they their deity is pot. I can't

recall if that's why they smoke it legally at someone's house (because they

don't have a church) or if they were smoking illegally - either way; no one

bothered them.

They also highlighted a town where a lot of the residents grow the pot and make

excellent money. Additionally, as you point out, they showed in great detail

how easy it is (and a joke) to get the prescriptions for pot. It was laughable

....

My only problem with the legalization of it is the one you point out - the

regulation of it (or lack thereof in some states/state). I've seen it help

chemo side-effects and truly have no point of view for the

legalization/non-legalization. Personally, I'd rather see them make

prostitution legal first - the tax money collected would help wipe out the

national debt quicker than any other tax (plus make it safer for those that make

their money this way).
