Apparently you think you're the center of the universe and that other people's suffering is completely unimportant. It's no wonder you have such a negative attitude.

I think julez is trying to say that medical marijuana does nothing to help the legalization for the recreational user. Which i can somewhat agree with.
It should be ALL or nothing we should not settle for just medical marijuana being legal.

The change in attitude of people I talk with, people they know etc. regarding legalization of marihuana has been significant in a positive way over recent years. The medical marihuana movement, along with scientific study after study after study continues to prove cannabis as not only relatively harmless but of great value to those who need or wish to utilize it.

The concept of "all or nothing" has no context to my way of thinking regardless of the issue at hand.
Life's matrix is always a complex one...

That is why I said I somewhat agree. While the research and studies all continue to show positive things about marijuana, making it strictly for medical use would open up a whole new pandora's box for the recreational user who would be seen as a "prescription drug abuser"

While i think pushing and fighting for medical marijuana is great i just dont think its fair to not push just as hard for its recreational use. I dont want to settle for anything less than full legalization...ALL or nothing.

Just because Medical MJ is gaining support, does not mean that it is the end all be all. Its a step. Life is made up of many steps. Usually they are very small steps.

YEARS & YEARS of propaganda from our Goverment does not get wiped away because some of us think it should be legal. People need to get comfortable with the idea of marijuana. Just because they have fears built on lies, does not mean that everyone will just up and say " Oops I was wrong .. lets legalize it" The goverment would have to answer for years of lies and deceite. Or at leas they think they will have to.

In my eyes, there is no one reason MJ is illegal. There are quite a few, and only time and knowledge and the TRUTH will get people to change there minds.

I was trying to convey this. I do have sympathy for the suffering who need it but when I said "these people are of no importance to me," I was referring to the congressmen who are fighting for Medical Marijuana. It would be the same as if an issue you care nothing about was being discussed in Congress, you can't be indifferent? What I was trying to say is they do nothing for the cause of legalizing marijuana for all. The world of marijuana would be the same for me and many others(no the world doesn't revolve around me, so if you simply took me meaning me instead of me and others in the same boat you would see my point and not blast me)whether Medical Marijuana was legal or not, I would be in the illegal smoking camp.
