Medical Marijuana is the stupidest concept I have ever heard of. There is no way to properly control dosage, and you are not only ingesting THC and carcinogens, but dozens of different chemicals. Are there any other drugs on the market that are smoked? No. This is just a left wing push to legalize pot for potheads. All of the medical problems this drug alleviates have much better alternatives for prescription.

Then I would say, YOU SIR are very largely misinformed. The idea that they can claim there's over 400 chemicals in marijuana is yellow journalism, there's over 400 chemicals in practically every plant whether it has psychoactive properties or not. Do you know that the LD-50 rating for Marijuana is approximately 1:20,000 or 1:40,000 meaning because the lack of toxicity in marijuana for one to induce a lethal response an individual must smoke over 1,500 pounds in a fifteen minute period.
Drug companies also neglect to release such statistics that prescription drugs are responsible for nearly 30,000 deaths per year in America while other illegal illicit drugs such as cocaine, heroin, meth, etc. are only responsible for approximately 6,000 deaths per year in the U.S..
Marijuana is illegal because it is in the best interest of the medical drug corporations such as Merck, Pfizer, and of course the alcohol and tobacco industries for it to be.

No, marijuana is illegal because it serves no useful purpose and makes people stupid. Just because it won't kill you doesn't mean it won't have adverse effects on your life, and I don't mean your health. If you want to continue to believe that marijuana is a proper treatment for a disease just to promote your belief that it is harmless so you won't get busted for getting high, go ahead. Medically it is an argument without substance, simply brought by the left wing hippies that think if there is any possible positive use for this plant, then it should be OK to do whatever I want with it. Honestly, I don't care if you use drugs, I did so myself at one time. I don't care what you do in the privacy of your home, just don't expect me to pay you respect for spewing your pro-pot message in public.

Oxycontin is not used for your average aches and pains. It is used for people with chronic and/or terminal pain and illness. The bad rap that OxyContin gets is that it is severely abused by recreational drug users. I agree, it's one of the most addicting drugs out there. Used properly it effectively controls pain but used improperly, it destroys lives. If you want to argue the lesser of two evils, go ahead, but everybody loses in the case of drug abuse.
Ok, here is what I witnessed about pot 2 years ago. My Father in law was diagnosed with cancer. Had surgerys, chemo, radiation and all that they could do to keep Him alive. He was always sick, throwing up, not hungry, and getting extreamly skinny. All the drugs they gave Him did not work very well. Now He was against pot, never smoked it, only drank an ocassional beer. His friend showed up one day and talked Him into smoking some. The first time He tried it, he laughed for the first time in months, ate a bowl of corn flakes and went to bed. Next day He felt great, had some food in Him. Tried smoking some more, We barbaqued that day and He ate half a steak. This contiued for a few months till He died 
While on His death bed, we talked about "medical Marijuana" We all agreed that it did have a place, and should be legal. It did not save Him, but made His passing much better and easier.
