Actually the medicinal thing is a hoax created by profit seekers and tax hungry politicians and of course the stoners who want the right.
Doesn't anyone else see the fallacy between outlawing cigarettes as medically dangerous and socially unacceptable but allowing something more insidious as legal marijuana. what message are we sending to our kids. what parent in their right mind would approve of their kids use of dope?

Am I still on planet earth???????????????????? Are we actually having this conversation while he rest of the world burns? Where the heck are our priorities?

Not that I disagree with your point, but, how many ever had their parent or grandparent allow them to "sip" a drink of their beer? I grew up in a largely German/Lutheran rural community that allowed and even encouraged alcohol consumption on a regular basis. How many folks on this forum consumed alcohol in front of their children or grandchildren that would result in their blood alcohol level to be above the legal limit, even if you are at home. I think in many cases, we are quite hypocritical in the use of alcohol versus drug use. JMHO
