look at it getting legalized for proven illnesses first, then move from there.

also i know my 'solution' isn't the best or most desirable outcome, but in all honesty, it's probbaly the most realistic.
ya I totally agree, I'm just saying we need to ALSO make sure that the government spends more money to do studies on marijuana for medical use. I hope the dems take over and let the states decide if they want to go medical or not, but I doubt it because drug trafficing is a federal issue, so naturally marijuana will probably always be too. But some states are ok with medical marijuana while others are not, so it would be difficult to get the whole country to sign off on a single unified federal law.

But any step forward would be good, I just hope medical marijuana is brought up in this political race or nothing will change.
