The point is that marijuana is a very real medicine for a lot of people. Just because our corrupt government raids LEGAL medical dispensaries does not make it alright. The same can be said for ANY medical drug. Some people really need Vicodin, yet there are a LOT more that don't and still have prescriptions. Also, a lot of people use it that don't have a prescription for recreational purposes. That does not disqualify it as a valid medicine.

And plus, even if the whole medical marijuana movement is just a ploy to allow more people to legally smoke weed, why not? Are you saying that you condone the criminalization of a harmless plant that makes people hungry and content at worst? The illegalization of marijuana was born from a web of corruption, greed, and propaganda and it should not remain that way.

I am guessing that your resentment comes from living in a state where medical marijuana is not available, or from the fact that you are not eligible. You should reevaluate your statements and think about it from the larger perspective.

I think the point you should be looking for is not "What is the point of medical marijuana (which, by the way, is host to a HUGE point)" and you should ask "What is the point of the criminalization of marijuana?"

Myself using marijuana for pain relief, OCD and ADD, that above paragraph offends me. I know several other people who are also much better off using marijuana. I have my entire life ahead of me, I'm only 18 years old. I've tried using opiates and it totally wrecks me and makes me a deadhead, not to mention the long term damage on your organs it's capable of doing. Marijuana makes every day of mine as if it were a normal day. For hundreds of thousands others, it does the same. You are apparently very uneducated when it comes to medical marijuana and it's medical benefit, pal. :wtf:

This is a good place to start: Medical Use - NORML

If you have any evidence that medical marijuana is "bogus", please present it for us all to read. However, if the only reasoning for your ridiculous claim is that non-medical users might abuse the laws to to acquire this drug, then I hope you realize there are far more dangerous drugs that are also being legally prescribed to people that don't really need it. Do you also think those drugs should be made illegal also simply on the fact that some people are getting it that don't need it medically? Maybe we should take all medications off the market that are being abused, who cares about the people it helps, we need to save the stupid from themselves and ban these drugs! :rolleyes:

Your argument is flawed and I'm sure you didn't spend a lot of time thinking before posting that, but it's been fun shooting your post down :stoned:

Who says that there isnt a fight back?
In california there is alot of fight back, by doctors, normal people, medical paitients, and even some policemen.
There are so many demonstrations near where i live. There are always newspaper stories about medical and how the police do not mind sometimes.
In santa cruz they passed the initiative which makes pot use by adults a very much less important crime. There are changes, are you even following the constant activism fight? i think not.

LOL at that person which claims marijuana has no medical value. I know your just pissed you cant have it legally, and that many medical users lie about their condition. I think thats wrong also for the record.
