I personally don't use drugs.I have puffed on a joint a couple times never inhaled.Don't stop at medical use I say legalize it all, govern drugs in the same fashion as booze it is win win win for the taxpayer.1(The taxpayer would save by elminating the blundering baboons that enfoce drug laws and setup stings.2(The inmates we house at 30 some thousand per year,per inmate for having drugs in their possesion.3(The government could tax it like booze and increase state revenue.The drug war is a lost cause I say legalize it and encourage moderation like we do with alcohol.Legalization is the way for our nation and state.

If the health officals of this state and others across this country seem to think that marijuana may be usefull in treating patients conditions, then what possible reason could the politicians of this state or any have for shooting this resolution down. Morals? bah, not that they aren't worthless but the only reason marijuana is bad is simply because someone told you it is. In my opinion there are plenty of independent studies completed by respectable groups and organizations that would lead many people to change their conclusion of marijuana as an illicit drug.

there are pills, and injectible liquids that provide the active ingredient of marijuana (tetra-hydro-canabbinol) in it's pure form? why isn't THAT prescribed? because it doesn't DO anything except make you feel high. no other benefits have been discovered by medical science so far. and this is from somebody who FAVORS legalization and taxation of recreational marijuana.

A step in the right direction. I am all for it.

Well many other drugs are perfectly legal. Vicoden are legal and i know many people who take them and end up overdosing on them. Asprin is perfectly legal but you take 13 of then and that will be your last headace ever. Marijuana hast killed anyone its just what people have done while being high. Im only 16 and ive studied the statistics and many other effects of the plant. Their are many worse things that kids, teens , and adults could be doing other that smokin a lil bit of weed. What do you think the police do with all of that weed when they make a big drug bust. Do you honestly think that the police obide by the law? No i know a few police that smoke weed on a daily basis. So Theirs no reason why its not legal when the states so called law enforcement get their justified hands on it and does the same thing many other people do with it. Oh nad its called Detox thats why police pas tests. LEGALIZE MARIJUANA!!!

Marijuana should be made legal for anyone that has extreme nerve damage. Marijuana doesnt make a person with nerve damage feel high, IT RELIEVES PAIN!~!! without the stomach turning effects and light headedness that pills do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quit being so narrowminded. George Washington grew it for a reason.

it to make rope out of it. it doesn't say he SMOKED IT.

Actually, there are many benefits. So many, in fact that the US Govt has taken out its own patent on the use of cannabis in the treatment and prevention of a wide range of diseases including stroke, trauma, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, auto-immune disorders and HIV dementia. Don't believe me? You can look it up online. It's patent # 6,630,507.
