Sixteen states have passed laws that allow patients to use medical marijuana to treat side effects of various illnesses, but now some are moving to either limit or repeal those laws. Anna Rau of Montana PBS reports.

1. Interesting how the "synthesized" canaboids are ok, but the plant is no good.

Hmm. Which one will be really expensive and just not as natural as the original product?

2. Let's just legalize it in the US

So we can get the good stuff from other countries. I just realized I haven't smoked any Thai or Maui Wowie for years. And yes I know Hawaii is our 57th state. LOL!

3. It all comes down to who's corrupt

They allow anyone of age to drive to the liquor store, buy a bottle of booze, get back behind the wheel
and drink and drive, and we know how that usually ends, the worse case being an innocent life being taken.
I'd be interested in the statistics of alcohol and marijuana related car deaths.
But the prison system is the culprit here. Too much money to be lost by legalizing it, no matter how much it
can help an individual. They're saying they don't care because I have my offshore accounts from the pharma
industry to keep it illegal.
How then can these representatives, who invoke Gods name to "Bless us all and The USA" keep anyone from
using something God created ? Doesn't that keep me from my right to "Pursue Happiness ?"
Boton line, they are all heavy drinkers in D.C and have stakes in the industry. When they find a way to get in on the action,
then it will be legalized.
