I got needs

The joke of medical marijuana cards now is that at least 50% of those who have them, are full of it. The intention was for people who were "seriously ill", have a way to cope, even if it is unconventional. I believe most folk didn't have problem with that. But now a huge amount of people decide that marijuana is the "only medicine" that can make them better. That's right in the years of human existance and science, smoking a plant is better than anything that a doctor could prescribe.

My favorite examples of the misuse, are
1. hurt knee playing basketball, couldn't be bothered to have surgery, gets medical marijuana card. continues to play basketball

2. has bad hands, works as a landscaper (never actually has job), but won't get (if your not working anyway how do you "get" another job?) another job

3. you, could until recently, fax a request to a doctor in Oregon and he would give you a card (sadly I believe his license was revoked and he might have some jail time to serve). There was at one time 1 doctor okaying cards, which accounted for 80% of the cards in Oregon. The same doctor who would advertise in the paper and work out of a motel. Damn that sounds reasonable

Granted of all the things in the world marijuana isn't the worst, but be responsible. Don't cry wolf all the time.
