Marijuana has NO LEGITIMATE MEDICAL USE! THC, maybe. Marijuana, NO.

This is all a ruse to turn American citizens into stoners who are easier to control.

FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY will save this country. Marijuana WILL NOT, DUDE!

"Marijuana has NO LEGITIMATE MEDICAL USE! THC, maybe. Marijuana, NO."

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you have not done adequate research, or believed somebody who doesn't know what they are talking about.

Perhaps you even believed the same government officials who are eager to help you with all aspects of your life.

But, it's usually a good thing to be accurate when you make such a sweeping proclamation.

Yours is not.

There are 10's of thousands of veterans in this country that use leafy marijuana for all sorts of ailments and get great therapeutic benefit without the horrendous side effects common to most pharmaceuticals.

Get a clue and stop displaying your willful ignorance.

That makes 2 Republican senators who have signed on to this bill.

Also relevant is the fact that Sens Cruz, Roberts and Rubio have stated that marijuana legalization should be up to the state.

"FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY will save this country."

EXACTLY! And getting the grubby claws of the Feds off this issue & giving it back to the States where it Constitutionally belongs is just a tiny part of restoring that freedom. Please remember that the States can be as prohibitive as the People desire, provided that cruel & unusual punishment isn't used.
