Of all the states that have legalized the growing and selling of medical marijuana, none has more at stake than Colorado, where a thriving industry has created jobs and revenue. But as Steve Kroft reports, it's still against federal law. Watch Kroft's report Sunday, Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m. ET and 7:00 p.m. PT.

Note no mention that they were given to Monsanto or to Big Pharma. Nope they were given to ALL of the people.
The whole "medical marijuana" approach has far outlived its usefullness. Most of us smoke to "get high" and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
What would constitute a true moral hazzard is to give control of this plant to the very same corporations (Big Pharma, Monsanto) that have been railing against this plant for over 75 years now.
The answer is not to reschedule Cannabis but rather to deschedule it. Do you find hard liquor or beer on the CSA schedule. No you don't. So, since Cannabis is actually good for you there is no reason for us to buy into this ******** of desceduling so that Big Pharma can monopolize control of Cannabis. 60 Minutes is pushing their propaganda as ussual. But sorry, the answer is not to "tax, regulate and control" Cannabis. The answer is to treat it like the tomatoes you grow in your garden.
Because Marijuana is Safer that Beer . . .
How About We Start Treating It That Way?

Forget the medicinal use argument and just plain eliminate the draconian laws banning this plant. Granted, most med users are truly using for their ailments, but what's wrong with allowing anyone of age to ingest a substance that makes them eat,laugh,talk,heal,sleep, and maybe most of all(unlike alcohol)...think! The desire to alter our consciousness is what sets human intelligence apart from other species. We all do it through food, sex, exercise, electronic heroin, praying,NASCAR,etc. Cannabis's greatest health benefit maybe one that many Western doctors ignore in their patients the most and that is the boosting of spirit, something we all could use during these times.
What I said was... we are a small private company in Colorado who is actually in the medical marijuana trade and we are seeking people to step in where the banks will not and offer us a small short term loan for our operating capital needs. Please reach out to me if you can help at mmjviceroy at gmail.com.
That's what I said and my post was removed!
Legalize marijuana, regulate it, tax it,,,,just like tobacco and alcohol. The first and most significant benefit will be to eliminate the flow of guns, money, and marijuana across the Arizona and Texas border. The criminal, murderous mexicans will lose all their business to Americans legally growing marijuana in the US to feed the market that will never go away no matter how many US citizens the "government" incarcerates. Police will be able to spend their resources on fighting real crime, maybe even preventing the slaughter of people in movie theaters, bar and grill(Fieros), finding the child psycho killer in Westminster....
