Its to bad how disingenuous the marijuana advocates are with these medical issues.

They are trying to ride in on the coat tails of truly sad medical cases.

Marijuana is causing America to be more and more dysfunctional.

There quest for trying to legalize their habit reminds me of this quote.

In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

And the sadder the better. They try to portray these people as typical medical marijuana users, when over 60% use medical marijuana for simply pain.

Just look at who supports medical marijuana -- NORML, MPP, DRCNet, DPA, -- organizations that also call for legalization.

Who doesn't support medical marijuana? Oh, the AMA, the American Cancer Society, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the American Lung Association, the American Academy of Ophthalmology, -- in fact, no major medical association supports smoked medical marijuana.

True enough. Things are getting pretty screwed up when a self-governing nation has a government agency who's job is to keep people from changing the law.
