FACT: Marijuana is legal for medicinal use in eleven states in the US. AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ME, NV, OR, RI, VT and WA
FACT: The Institute of Medicine's 1999 report on medical marijuana examined the question whether the medical use of marijuana would lead to an increase of marijuana use in the general population and concluded that, "At this point there are no convincing data to support this concern. The existing data are consistent with the idea that this would not be a problem if the medical use of marijuana were as closely regulated as other medications with abuse potential." The report also noted that, "this question is beyond the issues normally considered for medical uses of drugs, and should not be a factor in evaluating the therapeutic potential of marijuana or cannabinoids."
American tax payers, would you like your tax dollars going towards imprisoning petty criminals for possession of a plant?
Legalize the plant and allow the government to not spend money, but collect taxes on the sale of theproduct and allow thousands of suffering patients access their necessary medicine.
