You seem to have a very difficult time discerning your opinion from documented fact. Colorado's medical marijuana law was a joke, so they just went ahead and legalized it. New Mexico, in contrast, requires medical evaluation and specifies the diagnoses that qualify a patient for a medical marijuana permit. I think persons on this list would rather not have the underlying condition(s) in question:
Severe chronic pain
Painful peripheral neuropathy
Intractable nausea/vomiting
Severe anorexia/cachexia
Hepatitis C infection currently receiving antiviral treatment
Crohn's disease
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease)
Cancer
Glaucoma
HIV/AIDS
Multiple sclerosis
Damage to the nervous tissue of the spinal cord with intractable spasticity
Epilepsy
Hospice patients
Inflammatory autoimmune-mediated arthritis
But then, when you look at numbers of people using “medical marijuana,” the vast majority of them either started using it when they became potheads as teenagers or later on for fun, and then found out they could smoke it “legitimately” with the medical marijuana ruse.
