Marijuana has been approved by California, many other states and the nation's capital to treat a range of illnesses, but in a decision announced Friday the federal government ruled that it has no accepted medical use and should remain classified as a dangerous drug like heroin.

The decision comes almost nine years after medical marijuana supporters asked the government to reclassify cannabis to take into account a growing body of worldwide research that shows its effectiveness in treating certain diseases, such as glaucoma and multiple sclerosis.

I have no use for marijuana but I sure am tired of the so-called War On Drugs.

Economic recovery is only possible if the War on Drugs is eliminated.

Unfortunately too many people are making too much money from the War on Drugs.

This medical marijuana card and dispensaries BS in California is a joke. I have a relative that explained how to get the card and Mary Jane with no real medical need over 4th of July. Just a plain bunch of BS. If it is deemed medically necessary, you should have to jump through the same hoops as for any schedule 2 drug like morphine.

Ouch I stubbed my toe, pass the bong please.

Well at least we can see who are the pot smokin hippies. LOL

So you would classify pot the same as opium? Weed, heroin, it's all the same. Gotta love those big government conservatives. Nanny state rules.

Pot has been shown to decrease nausea and increase appetite in cancer and AIDS patients. Performing much better than any big pharma drug could ever dream of.

As for recreational use it should be 100% legal.

I blame it 99% on the puritanical church groups in this country who lobby our government. If it weren't for these uptight religious types drugs would be totally legal.
