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?

I don't understand!!
I guess I am feeling rather bitter right now! I suffer from the same disease as Irv Rosenfield, and indeed have a rather complicated case. However, the government is not sending me my own supply of weed. Indeed, I can't even afford my prescriptions or health care. I bet that I don't even make half his salary! Why then does this lawyer get special treatment from his good old drug daddy Uncle Sam?
I don't know how I feel about medical marijuana, but this just seems odd that this guy would need this strong of a drug for pain. I have associated nerve damage and take codiene (which I guess is just as bad as Marijuana anyway-- but worse because I have to actually buy it myself). So why doesn't the government send me my own supply of hash? It would certainly make my life easier and would make it easier for people to deal with me. I would love to spend the majority of my days high as a kite. Why not? What do I have to loose?
