Even if pot has medical value it would be not worth the cost to society to allow its use. It would be better off for people like her to take narcotics. There would be a cost to her but why should millions of others pay tons more to let her smoke dope when other drugs are available.

And exactly what is that cost to society? Hey, since narcotics are misused, maybe all of them should be outlawed, under any circumstances! There have been bills introduced in congress to do just that with oxycontin! Let's get rid of everything more powerful than Darvocet! That way, there won't be any drug abuse at all.
