Marijuana is a weed.
Wal-Mart, Loews, Sears, and every lawn and garden shop in the country has been selling us chemicals to kill dandelions and crab grass, for decades now.
How is the “war on dandelions” going?
The Crips and the Bloods would not exist, if not for the drug trade. (This argument is a bit weaker, since, I do not ever want “medical meth” or “medical crack” and today's street gangs sell far more than pot.)
Do you know what “Thalamid” is? It is also know as “Thalidomide” -— It was allowed in England, and caused the “flipper baby” birth defects. The stuff was given to help with morning sickness, in pregant women in England.
It DOES help with appetite and the ability to keep food down.
Now the stuff is legal in the USA for cancer patients. It costs about $7,000.00 a month, from what I understand. Most of the expense is due to the product liability. If a pregnant woman even so much as touches the pills, she will probably have a deformed baby.

Medical Marijuana can do the SAME thing as thalidomide, for a much cheaper price, and will also help with pain management and anxiety.
Think this through folks. It is not an easy issue.
However, I do like the fact that it is one more issue for people to be mad about.
Obama won because Obama had made few decisions in his life.
The more decisions Obama makes, the weaker he will become.
The worst side effect of pot is that it turns you stupid and liberal. Which of course is why leftists love it as an issue.
The more decisions Obama makes, the weaker he will become
What an excellent observation.
