Using the "Medical Marijuana" issue as a reason to legalize would be like saying medical alcohol should have been touted as the reason for ending prohibition. Let's get real. People want it legalized because they like it, and to continue its prohibition after all we know is a crime. Never forget that just like alcohol, the drug is dangerous when in the hands of the wrong people. I know a person who lights up more than 15 times a day and while she's just 21, her brain is already fried and she's coughing her lungs out. It will eventually destroy her. As for myself, I'm pushing 62 and one of my numerous goals in life is to be able to sip whisky when I'm 100; and I have a better chance of success through moderation, not abuse.
