Marijuana has many more uses than just medicinal. It should be legal for anyone to grow as much of it as they can for use as bio diesel oil and textiles as well as for vegan food suppliment and for medicinal and recreational use. And yes recreation is an important part of maintaining good health and marijuana used responsibly is great for promoting healthy recreation for at least as many people as is having a couple drinks. The only difference is the marijuana unlike the alcohol has no ill or permanent side effects.
Hemp is a very useful strong and durable textile and hemp seeds are second to no other crop in the amount of bio diesel that can be prodused per acre. This alone could go a very long way to reversing global warming caused by fossil fuels.
Land of the free? Funny how our government only defends freedom for big business and not individual people.

Depending on what disease you are fighting along with your individual DNA every person had different needs. Some need more THC than CBD others need more CBD and THC. Let the doctors determine the appropriate method of consumption and dosage … some people have better results from juicing the plants, others use sublingual oils, and still others can also use a topical cream for their pain. It needs to be taken off the Schedule 1 list as there are too many studies that show there is medical use for it. What is really interesting is that it did not become a schedule 1 until 1937 (after prohibition ended) and that the US government has a patent on Cannabis that was issued in 2003. Prior to 1937 it was used for many different types of ailments including PMS. It is very helpful too to refer to it by its latin name of Cannabis instead of marijuana or weed or pot as that seems to take it down from the medicine that it is.

it is the wonder drug just like the elixir that they sold way back when. It is a cure all. A miracle drug. Not.

All of the healthy and medical benefits of marijuana come from the ingredients inside the plant that don’t get you high. There is no medical benefit in the actual THC. So I don’t understand the problem. Keep THC illegal and allow the non-impairing ingredients to be legal.

Please just legalize it nationwide. Marijuana does so much good. The production of hemp products will be beneficial as well.

Alcohol is more dangerous than weed but it’s legal. Just have similar rules & regulations.

I commend the Judge on this decision. I also question why other government leaders and their agencies lack the ability to make sound judgements in these situations. They should read the law and use compassion.

Prohibition failed, but not before criminal enterprises increased violence and made billions for the bad guys. Lift prohibition and when I drink a beer Elliot Ness is not kicking the door down. The Drug War failed, but not before criminal enterprises increased violence and made trillions for the bad guys. Lift the drug war and when a cancer patient gets relief, and the government Bureaucrats who justify their existence by the Drug war can pound on sand and the man gets better.

However, when President Obama in the Affordable Care Act gave Big Pharm a trillion dollar boost on shopping drug prices like the VA is able to do while a person like myself who is dying from cancer could buy Sandostatin in Canada for 3k a shot, yet they bill my insurance company 10K for the same drug because I am an American patient. Western Europe and Canada have lower drug prices because they let the free market system work……in America they get a monopoly, Big Pharm did not want to see folks getting relief in Florida with something they can grow in their back yard. They fought legalized medical pot in Florida, and still the folks in the house and senate take their money and ignore the citizens and constitution. Shame!

that’d be too easy deBugger, besides, then how would lawyers and the court make any money outta the deal? the judicial system mainly makes it’s scratch bcuz stupid idiots keep breaking the law, but the extra cash from litigation over things like pot is gravy train choochoo to them. i mean, how else are they gonna pay for the new jetskis for the kids, or that new hitech automatic cleaner for the swimming pool for the guest house behind the mansion?
