I'm not entirely sure what you were saying in that first post... in fact, if it wasn't for you calling marijuana a "problem," or "dangerous" I wouldn't know what side of the issue you'd stand on...

You're seeming to talk about it being 'en vouge'... and I don't think most - on either side of the "pot: legalize, or don't?" argument - would argue that point with you.

I think the question is: Why do we make it illegal for those that need it?

Why do we, as a nation, disallow use of it as a viable medicine - even for those that _really_ need it...

And then - why does our _federal government_ make it illegal when there's absolutely no CONSTITUTIONAL basis - in the eyes of a reasonable man - for our Federal government to do so?

In fact, I'll make my point this way: show me where, in the U.S. Constitution - as read by the average reasonable man - it gives our Federal Government the power to make pot illegal (for the sake of argument: in the case of someone growing it on their own property for distribution (whether they charge or not) to their neighbor as an end-user), and and I'll give you $100.
