Panzer Bookmark: http://www.mapinc.org/mmj.htm (Cannabis - Medicinal) ALLOW MEDICAL MARIJUANA USE I am a student at West Junior High School, and I was wondering about laws that say you can or cannot use marijuana for medical uses. There are only 10 states that allow medical marijuana use. The states are California, Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington. If drugs help people stay alive or help them live through pain, I think they should let people use drugs for medical purposes only. If someone in my family needed a drug to stay alive, I would want them to use it, but if they did not want to use I would respect them and let them do what they wanted to do. Garett L.
