Thread: Federal Medical Marijuana Bill Introduced by Rep. Ron Paul

The problem is related more to state governance and conflicting federal laws than to drugs or healthcare. There is a problem if a state says it's legal, but the feds say it's illegal. There shouldn't be any laws that conflict in this way... it just serves to confuse people and tie up the legal system.

skysaw said it very well right there.

also, I think the natural form of THC cannabis is much more effective then any synthetic thc garbage.
many patients complain that the pills don't work, only the natural plant.

Wait, when did the federal government say that medical marijuana was illegal? I thought that they left it up to the states because I know that many states have legal medical use.

There are far worse federal/state conflicts than this.

nope, your mistaken, the governor of a state can declare marijuana legal, but his citizens will still goto jail reguardless.
