Medical Marijuana

So, the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Federal prosecution of marijuana users whose use was prescribed by an MD. Great.

I'm not even going into how ridiculous it is for a bunch of lawyers to be making blanket medical decisions, I don't care how black their robes.

Said ruling is bound to be ineffective, and will only result in the criminalization of the ill and their loved ones.

Speaking as someone who has experienced chronic pain in a loved one, there is nothing someone in that position will not do to ease their loved one's pain. If marijuana helps, then marijuana will be obtained. Barring such treatment is itself much more criminal than the marijuana use.
