Increased Medical Marijuana Use Sparks Debate
Loading...
Uploaded by VOAvideo on Nov 13, 2009
Tuesday, the American Medical Association, the nation's largest organization of physicians, called for a review of the U.S. government's classification of marijuana as a dangerous drug with no medical uses. Without endorsing clinical use of the drug, the group called for more research into its possible benefits. Fourteen U.S. states allow the use of marijuana for medical reasons. It remains illegal under federal law, but the Obama administration recently said it will not prosecute marijuana dispensaries that follow state laws. Mike O'Sullivan reports on the changing attitudes, the ongoing debate, and the thriving industry in medical marijuana in California.

That is the problem, "Police" They are so dumb they believe they know everything. I teach love but these people make me hate.

Marijuana is magical. Chemotherapy is not.

You're exactly right, Doughnut189. Alcohol is so much more dangerous than marijuana, yet alcohol is legal and marijuana is not. It just doesn't make sense. Its almost as if the government wants people to use the more dangerous drugs. I've talked to a few pharmacists that would rather have marijuana legal than alcohol. America needs to reform its marijuana laws now.
