Don't know... that's a question for you to ask the DEA, who can, have, and will, arrest people who violate the law, "state sanctioned" or not. Federal law trumps state law. Every. Single. Time.
Oh, I see. And the Tenth Amendment, that's just irrelevant? Can you show me where that was struck down? Or, perhaps, where the Constitution was amended so that the FEDGOV was the deciding factor in what substances you put in your body? Don't bother with the LAWS (such as the Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act) as they're quite invalid without Constitutional change.
Of course, we've also got the issue of the Federal Government, brace yourself, being incorrect. Do you feel, I'm asking for your opinion not a parroting of some LEO you might know, that marijuana and opium are on the same level of lethality and addictive potential?
Any and every argument for "medicinal" marijuana is from a person who just wants to smoke pot.
It must be nice to not have cancer, not have AIDS and make blanket statements against entire groups of people. I bet most of those people just went out and GOT cancer so they could smoke dope! I mean, what's more pleasurable than vomiting up your meals and being able to smoke grass! Man, I wish I had advanced leukemia so I could smoke pot!
You need to obtain some serious life experiences, your blanket statements at your age smacks of ignorance.
There is absolutely NO benefit to smoking marijuana (illegal) over using prescription THC (legal). On top of that, the FDA has NEVER cleared a drug for medicinal use by smoking it.
When a patient gives you "informed consent", what do you do? Beat them over the head until they do the medical treatement you want them to do? Call in the SWAT team to toss in some flashbangs and rock out with full ninja-gear? I didn't think so. So why is it that a patient can't make informed choices about their own health care and about what plant they choose to smoke? I'm sure you'll fall back on the "It's illegal!" answer, but I just don't care one bit. Illegal and immoral aren't always the same concept.
Without harping on about what some hard-nosed cop told you, tell me why you feel patients shouldn't be allowed to make their own decisions as to how they ingest a plant that grows wild.
There are PLENTY of legal drugs that do the exact same things that marijuana is purported to do. Why do you insist in doing it illegally?
Why do you insist on
making it illegal? I mean, come on here buddy, this isn't the Anslinger Era! We know that smoking dope won't make men grow breasts! Don't you think that legislation passed at a time of public hysteria over the "DEMON WEED" that, according to Henry Anslinger, did make men grow breasts and encouraged violent actions needs to be reviewed? Why do you feel the need to dictate to someone what plant they may or may not smoke? What skin is it off of your nose if someone decides to smoke a bong in their own home, instead of taking Marinol? Are you just that into being a busy body that you can't let others make their own decisions? That mentality has no place in health care, period.
Quit hiding behind the wall of "it's for a medical use" when that can be debunked quite easily.
I couldnt' care less if it's for "medical" use. I think individuals have the right to smoke the same plant that the Founding Fathers grew in their own gardens. Tell me, why is marijuana illegal but alcohol isn't?
On the other hand, ice cream doesn't leave a stink on everything it comes in contact with like tobacco does. <_<
I'd much rather deal with a mellow smoker than someone who explodes / implodes from being so over stressed.
