Citing New HIV Study, Group Contests FDA's Claim That Pot Has No Medical Value

like i said if they can make some sort of a breathalizer for weed to tell how high someone is then they may make it legal..
their worry is people driving high..(which is dumb because people would no longer speed they will be content driving 55 in a 55)
and government jobs where people could go to work high.

NORML the National organizaton for the Reformation of Marijuana Laws is making great progress in the Senate to push for Legalization.But you are correct sires the goverment will find a way to tax it and distribute it as a cash crop.i.e.cigarette and beer tarriffs.

The people who use pot for pain and suffering is just that. Their not PARTYING DOWN. Most likely they are going to die.
If anything cigarettes should be illegal and banned. People that smoke cigarettes KNOW it can kill them and the people around them.
If anything people that smoke cigarttes should be arrested for attemped murder for doing so around people that don't smoke and choose not to DIE from this self enflicted habit.
Leave the sick and suffering alone, not all the pill pushing doctors can help all the time.

I have Crohn's Disease and all I wanna say is that if it weren't for pot I would never eat because eating hurts,and when you hurt you have no desire to eat .If the Government could figure out a way to control and tax it,you can bet it would be legal.And you can bet too that if it were one of them or their loved ones using pot for medical purposes it would be ok.But us common folk will end up in jail sooner or later.

"The war on drugs way be well intentioned but it falls flat when you start to mention an overcrowded prison where a rapist gets paroled to make room for a dude who has sold a pound of weed,to me thats the crime,heres to good people doing time." Nick Hexum.

great point mythoughs,the federal government themselves fund and research marijuana for medicinal purposes., talk about putting ur foot in your mouth..........

The people who use pot medically, use it to relieve pain and suffering. Their not PARTYING DOWN. In probably most cases their DIEING.
These people aren't hurting anyone-just trying not to hurt themselves.
If anything cigarettes should be ILLEGAL and banned, for look at the horrible things it does to your body. But it's OK to smoke that GARBAGE and KILL all the people around you while you do.
If you want to get real technical you should arrest all cigarette smokers for attemped MURDER

Once again I see how we were lied to small government less taxes and what did they do they have made it harder for the sick to get something that I know works. So tell me again why it is illegal. Because the thugs who send money to the GOP want it that way.

The war on illegal drugs is just like Prohibition! It was a complete waste of tax dollars! It never does any good to try and regulate human behavior. It never works! You would think the government would have figured it out by this time. They might as well make it all legal and tax it to death like they do cigarettes and alcohol!
