Though it is somewhat difficult to retain decorum about this issue, I must tell you that if anyone had walked into our Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia and told us that someday, in this great nation we were founding, citizens would be put in jail for possessing this great herb, we would have laughed them out of the room. Now that I see what is being done to innocent citizens who raise and smoke this herb as we did, I am tempted to demand that the authorities responsible for this foolishness THEMSELVES be incarcerated.

How disgusting that rehab centers that claim to care for people with serious drug addictions would oppose medical marijuana, a substance that allows pain patients to cut their use of addictive opioids like Oxycontin and Vicodin by a third to half. How ignorant that alleged medical professionals would hide behind the “gateway theory” that has been debunked in study after study and by our own government’s Institute of Medicine. How bullheaded that these doctors would ignore the endorsements of marijuana as medicine by their colleagues in the American Medical Association and the American College of Physicians. And how transparently greedy of them to let the sick and disabled suffer so police can continue to subsidize 10% of their business.

Nothing is going to make this problem go away in one wave of a magic wand. Prohibition of marijuana has to be dismantled in small steps and replaced with a legal regulated market, just as New York and California first refused to enforce alcohol prohibition and forced the feds to eventually relent and allow for creation of the legal alcohol market. A YES vote on Prop 19 in five days is that first small step. A NO vote on Prop 19 says you accept slaughtered Mexican teenagers as an unavoidable cost of Americans getting high.
