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?

Marijuana is a Poor Excuse for a Medicine
The Tide Is Turning
We the people can do research on the internet , thus these lies no longer work. When will the government realize, concerning actual facts, you can no longer flat out lie. Any person with a basic knowledge of how to use a web browser ie., google.com, can search these terms and see that in fact, just the opposite of what these people against legalization are saying. Our government needs to heed it's people and take the money that is now enriching the mexican cartels and use it to help people. And it needs to stop jailing millions of non-violent americans. Is this how it should be? Marijuana is the cheapest medicine to produce, also is the only medicine that helps such a wide range of illnesses. Not to mention is impossible to overdose. Unlike the everyday cup of coffee or asprin. And unlike alcohol , or tabacco(both of witch kill thousands every year) It has never once been the cause of any deaths. Doctor Voth, are you so afraid of Marijuana's awesome powers that you must deny any and all benefits? I feel sorry for people like you who cannot and will not accept anything as truth unless it is fed to you from the tit of the government, I weep for you. May you one day see the light, my narrow minded friend.
