I don't think it's the governments job to legislate morality.

I do. Every law our government passes is a direct reflection of our values.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. How in the heck does that government make smoking dope illegal yet allow American Idle?

1. It could be regulated just like alcohol or any prescription drug. And taxed as well too.

2. Just because you can test 'positive' doesn't mean a person is still feeling the 'effects' of marijuana.

3. Alchohol is metabolized faster (6-10 hours) than most all drugs including cocaine, heroin, PCP, nicotine, codine and barbituates (which are all 2-4 days). Pot is 'detectable' anywhere between 1-28 days depending on usage.

4. No drug is 100% safe.

My great Aunt suffered with cancer pain and chemo's effects when she went through cancer...She used marijuana to deal witht the pain, and to keep her appetite and weight up..she told me that was the only thing that helped. I think it is sad that something that has the potential to be so helpful is barred to many. I say legalize it and tax it. When marijuana is ingested rather than smoked, and is done in normal doses, it is safe. Alcohol poisoning kills, but no one has ever died of a marijuana overdose..or of complications other than related to the actual smoking of the substance. There are so many people in jail and on probabtion because of silly pot charges...legalizing it would free up space and man power to go do more important things. I am all about it.

Why is it needed at all for medical purposes?

I have a friend who is a doctor, and he said he's against it mainly because he thinks it's just an excuse to toke up, because there's tons of painkillers that actually work better.

I thought it was obvious to everyone that all this is is another path to legalization.

Of course a corporate manufactured product with quality control is going to be better than whatever is on the street corner or grown by some small time outfit. However, we home brew. Plus, some people just like the whole smoking thing.
