SUPREME COURT AND MEDICAL MARIJUANA

When are we going to come to our senses about marijuana? People find
it helpful, it's very low cost, it's not addictive, and it's never
killed anyone (which is more than the drug companies can say about
their products). What is our hang-up? Let's see - I can smoke myself
to death on addictive cigarettes, I can drink myself into oblivion and
accidentally kill others or myself, but I can't smoke pot and relieve
my pain. It's beyond absurd - it's downright stupid!
