Should Medical Marijuana be Federally Legalized?

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?

    It's vaporizing

    Vaporizing is a safe and effective route of administration of the cannabinoids in the herb. This can be accomplished in a hot air stream from a heat gun, Volcano(tm), or a lit joint's combustion.

    Unless you can justify arresting Marlboro users, the means of vaporization is the choice of the user.

    OF COURSE it should be legal-- so that any adult eligible to purchase whiskey and cigars has the non-toxic alternative available at the same store-- it just might save their life.

    The stigma of criminality is anti-therapeutic; legalize Cannabis, for the global therapeutic effect.
