Marijuana yes. I see numerous uses for marijuana in medicine. In fact I've mentioned this before but we use it at the hospital. Not smoking it, of course, but in pill form. I know that people argue about it's medical use but I see it working for many patients.
The point I was making is that to have border patrol agents lose their life due to marijuana smuggling is a shame. Lives lost for what? It's not noble - it's pointless.
Legalization is happening in many states as described earlier. Yes drug abuse is awful but it happens now despite all the attempts to keep it out of the country. I don't think what we've been doing for the past 50 years is working. Do you? Time to try a different approach is all I'm saying. I'm a results oriented person and I don't see the results. Something must change.
