Prescription drugs are tightly regulated and if you get caught abusing prescription drugs you go to jail. The same would apply to marijuana if it were approved for medicinal use and rightly so. I'm not current on the debate but I don't really know why we need medical marijuana. What gap would it fill? Despite valild arguments for medical use, it seems like the argument quickly becomes a front for those who would want it legalized for recreational use, as we've seen in this thread.
To legalize it for recreational use is to condone its use and we would have a rise in users. How hard is it to get cigarettes when someone can obtain them and transport them legally without fear of prosecution and then distribute them to minors? Alcohol is dangerous, I got that. But lets work on alcohol instead of introducing a new problem.
