It means that the public is now realizing that there is overwhelming support for legalization/decriminalization. Things are being put into place to strike down the party lines and create one voting force to end the War on Drugs.
Which is the cause and which is the result? Nice or pot?
Do only nice people smoke or does smoking make average people nice?
It chills out high strung people and relaxes those that are constantly angry. I cannot grasp how it could have "no medical purpose". Even if the effects are strictly palliative, I don't see what is wrong with improving quality of life. It's not that other drugs aren't available, rather that the cocktail of different pills one needs to take to relieve multiple different symptoms can be far more dangerous than any marijuana effects. There isn't a single magic pill out there that will relieve pain, relax ones mind, get rid of nausea, stimulate appetite, and even allow one to get some sleep when they normally wouldn't be able to.
And if people want to use it for intoxication, what is wrong with having an alternative to alcohol which is much less toxic, and has a lighter set of effects? The biggest difference being their is, for all intents and purposes, no hangover from weed.
The FDA is supposed to evaluate things based on safety and effectiveness, they are not supposed to act like they are some sort of medical authority.

For the most part you're right about no hangover. Mixed with alcohol and there have been a few times where I woke up the next morning with my brain feeling like scrambled eggs. LOL!

once my head almost exploded from to much red wine , not once have i ever got a hangover from cannabis..
What diseases does pot cure? What symptoms does it treat that there are not already regulated drugs on the market to treat?
The fact is, that pot is used as a recreational drug far more than it is used medicinally. If that weren't so, it, probably would be legalized but it is so. What percentage of pot users use recreationally compared to for medical reasons?
I am not a pro-pot legalization proponent but I find the hypocrisy astounding that on one hand the DEA is granting licenses to Big Pharma to produce medical marijuana and on the other the FDA claiming it has no medicinal use. It's all about the $$.
No it's about regulation. The fact is the #1 use for pot, by a landslide, is to get high. What needs to be done is to isolate the compounds in pot that people claim to have medicinal purposes and market those sans the ones that get you high. BUT, my guess is people won't want that because this is really about getting high.

First off, it doesn't matter if its used recreationally or for medical reasons.
As far as what it cures, nothing that I know of. What does it treat? Many things. Anxiety, depression, loss of appetite, nausea, insomnia, cancer, tumors. I'm sure there's more.
As far as why its better than pharma drugs, because there's no risk of death.
But don't worry, it'll be legal soon. Whether you like it or not. I'd love to blow a big cloud in your face. Recreationally that is.
