Medical marijuana IS legal and is being recommended in eleven states and neither the FDA or the Dept of Ag is involved in supervising squat.
Really? Why don't you ask the DEA if that's the case.
The thrust of the article in this thread is that the federal government should leave these states alone. To do what, kill immunosuppressed patients?
At the risk of repeating myself, the states aren't allowing these two patients to be killed due to the pharmacological effects of cannibus. The are being killed due to the pharmacalogical effects of a soil bacterium, that could have easily been obviated by perfectly ordinary, everyday ag department inspections.
According to the article, they want the federal government to butt out. I don't see the states setting up any drug safety standards. The states ARE allowing these patients to be killed by contaminated drugs.
And whose ag department is going to go to 100,000 homes to inspect home grown cannabis on a monthly basis?
