This is a states rights issue. I don’t like potheads, but medically prescribed and clinically administered medical marijuana is not the same as the kind sold behind head shops.
If doctors see some value in prescribing it, I would not oppose its legalization for that purpose. I do, however, oppose the recreational use of marijuana.
I'd bet you do, however, approve the recreational use of BEER and BOOZE!
Is it really any of your business if your neighbor smokes a doobie? Do you have any understanding of our God-given rights through our Founding Documents? What part of "Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness" don't you understand, and where do you perceive any authority for entering my home to arrest me for possessing a WEED???
I smoked it when I was young, and at 65, have no problems if somebody lights one up. I have a circle of friends which meets up weekly for a "jam session", with beer, pot, and whiskey. It includes a Deputy Sheriff Sargent and a County Attorney. I smoke a good cigar and enjoy a good Scotch or Brandy, and don't criticize those that toke. It's THEIR decision to make! If I choose to be in that circle, I have that RIGHT! I'm an American citizen.
Alcohol is AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN, the biggest scourge in our society!
Would you support its authority under the Tenth Amendment to enact such a policy?
“If doctors see some value in prescribing it, I would not oppose its legalization for that purpose.”
Doctors do NOT see value in pot. That they do is another lie propagated by libertarian potheads.
You will not be able to find a reputable physician, one educated in the United States at an accredited medical school, who will “prescribe” marijuana. Which is still illegal, by the way. To prescribe it. It’s banned.
Some hack sawbones from the University of Guam who’s hanging onto their medical license by a thread and can’t get work elsewhere will write you a ‘note’ saying how you ‘need’ it, because you’re just so anxious. But you won’t get a legal prescription. And not from a reputable physician.
