Medical use of Cannabis is almost boringly defensible.

The Portugese decriminalized ALL drugs and saw improvements in all categories of medical problems. Here we are bafflingly backing a 44 year old capitulation to the US DEA and denying people with Glaucoma, Parkinsons, Cancer and a dozen other maladies an effective medicine administered under medical supervision.

The prohibition costs us money. It costs people quality of life… and all it actually accomplishes is to provide funding to “Black Power” and the “Mongrel Mob”. It isn’t like it actually prevents people from getting drugs. It just hurts them more.

Maybe things should change a little.
