Because it jeaopardises revenue and political gains from the War On Drugs in the long term. If they allow States to legalise it for Medical Use, it may open the way in the future for a national lobby to legalise it. Despite evidence to the contrary they cannot be seen to even entertain the thought that Marijuana has legitimate medical uses.
-Gel -----Original Message----- From: Marlon Moyer I thought the republican party stood for states rights and small government. So why is it that the "republican" administration is going after medical marijuana users in states that have legalized it. NPR is reporting that the supreme court is hearing a case against a woman in California who has tumors in her head and several other maladies. The marijuana has enabled here to gain weight back, tolerate the pain and get out of her wheelchair. Now why does the administration feel that it has the responsibility to reverse the California people's decision to make medical marijuana legal, and the medical expertise to say there are better drugs than this for her condition. Given marijuana versus some of the other drugs the FDA has approved, I think I'd take my chances with marijuana. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:138009 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
