You have a good point, however a close buddy of mine went a different route, he doesn't like the stigma of marijuana. He was in the airborne when his chute didnt open correctly, he shattered both his ankles and fractured his spine when he landed. He's been on methodone prescribed by his doctor for as long as I've known him.

Now the army doesn't pay for experimental surgery and that's the only thing he can do to try and allievate his permenant nerve damage. And since he doesn't have the money, he's left with the only option he's got. Medication. Seems like a strange world when he can take a prescribed pain medication like methodone, but is forbidden to take a THC pill or smoke a joint in public. I understand your point, but I respectfully disagree, it makes the assumption that all laws are just and fair and make sense. And I'm not sure the last time you checked but our leaders, and their laws, and their actions haven't exactly been examples of the responsibility you seem to think I lack.
