All drug’s do damage to the body when abused or used for extended periods of time.

How do I know some of this, simply I have been involved in a Cannabis Treatment since 1998, and yes it is with Doctor’s care and involvment.

There are many people across this nation that need medical help and sometime’s a more organic and natural drug works best for their system and problem’s, so it is a matter of standing up for your right’s, or just set in your home and let the Govt. take them away slowly.

People are ready in every State, it is just a battle in each State among the people in that State (closed minded vs open minded)

from a Idahoian redneck that think's before speaking.

There are, undoubtedly, two classes of people when it comes to taxation – the tax payers and the tax eaters. Personally, I prefer an elimination of the individual federal income tax altogether, because of this situation which it creates….but that might be best left for another thread.

They grow it everywhere here, so they might as well legalize it and make tax revenue from it.

…they remain on the federal dole – by requiring you, me, and everyone else in every other state to help pay for their decision.

Somewhat off topic, and a minor quibble that I trust will not offend you.

“You, me, and everyone else in every other state” leaves the impression that every American pays taxes, which is not the case at all. Rather, it is you, me, and every other net taxpayer that is ultimately strapped with the bill. Liberals (including right-liberals) are fond of making the point that everyone pays taxes, “fair-minded” individuals that they are. But if a person is receiving more in benefits than he’s paying in taxes, then for him it is simply inaccurate to say that he is a “taxpayer” by any stretch of the imagination. And we all know that we have a bunch of freeloaders on our hands who are far from being net taxpayers, the majority of which will most likely never be net taxpayers. You’d think such people would be more appreciative of the few that have been keeping them up. But, no, charity (particularly “government charity”) rarely elicits appreciation in those its beneficiaries.

Medical marijuana is still classified by medical transplant teams as “drug use”, a exclusion factor in transplant decisions.”

It seems to me that if that policy is designed to give drug law breakers less priority in the transplant line, then they should rewrite the policy to not hold it against those who took it legally.

If Idaho wants to arrest people for owning a plant – then they need to pay for it themselves. No dea, no federal involvement.”

I agree with that. If Idaho wants it to remain illegal, it is their state right. What we all ould want is for them to just be able to do what they want, but without it being at our expense.
