Legalizing medical marijuana is not the same as legalizing recreational marijuana.

Legalizing medical marijuana does not help doctors in prescribing it. In order for a doctor to prescribe MJ, there has to be a readily available source nearby. The only legitimate way to allow doctors to prescribe MJ, is by making it recreationally legal. Marijuana is the least addictive and less dangerous drug in our society compared to all legal and illegal drugs. Alcohol is the real gateway drug....the #1 cause of drug overdose is prescription drugs. The most addictive substance is man-made opiates. Cannabis is not even close to any of these facts and is used as a medicine for neurological diseases/conditions while also killing cancer cells.

They are quite capable of taking certain ingredients out of cannabis and turning them into a pill.
Then all they'd need are companies licensed to grow the cannabis and a company to do the refining...which they have here.

@RhoShambo Then that right there just canceled your statement that it needs to be legalized for recreational use.

@JolietJake Are you able to follow a train of thought? For a doctor to prescribe it, it has to be plentiful in the local area. And how is that going to happen if it is not recreationally legal?

@RhoShambo Companies can grow it for medical use without having to make it for recreational use.
