Millions of Americans take prescription drugs to treat a plethora of illnesses and symptoms, but not all drugs are created equal. The question of whether or not to consider marijuana a viable medical treatment remains a hot button issue. In states like California, medical marijuana clubs have flourished despite their federal illegality. Should the federal government allow states to make their own decisions, or is marijuana nothing more than a dangerous narcotic?

The Real Mary Jane Debate
Why doesn't the govenment tax it to pay for the national debt?
With so many Cannibus Clubs in California, has violence increase or decrease as its reciprocal?
There is no reason to have a war that promotes black markets and gangs to run the drug world. We should legalize and truely study its effect and non=effects.

Waste of Taxpayers dollars
Of course it should be rescheduled. In the worse case senario the Federal Government should allow states to decide for themselves as stated in the tenth amendment.
It is a shame that monies that could be spent on fighting the real drugs such as crack,cocaine,crystal meth,heroin,extacy etc.... are going to raid MMJ Dispensaries and doing much more harm then good to the America citizens.
Sure you can find some doctors that will say that cannabis is bad for you,however honest research and truthful Doctors all say different.
This should not be a political issue but instead a health issue but the Federal Government does not wish to lose $$$$$ from the very large Pharmeceutical lobby that is doing everything it can to keep cannabis in prohibition.
As a cancer patient that syffers from many other ailments in addition I will keep using what works for me and should be free to do so as other are free to choose oxycotin,demeral,and all the other pain medicines.
