      <![CDATA[Pam: They say that "medical experts should decide" and marijuana should be prohibited "until more research is done," thus more research should be "done" before they can make up their mind. Thus, their argument actually is that more research is required--the same research they are blocking.<br />
<br />
And 8: This guy isn't a student; he's a professor of medicinal horticulture. RTFA.

      <![CDATA[They don't want to create a second laboratory to study marijuana because this is what the results were in the first study in 2002...<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Results demonstrate clinical effectiveness in these patients in treating glaucoma, chronic musculoskeletal pain, spasm and nausea, and spasticity of multiple sclerosis.<br />
<br />
Mild changes in pulmonary function were observed in 2 patients, while no functionally significant attributable sequelae were noted in any other physiological system examined in the study, which included: MRI scans of the brain, pulmonary function tests, chest X-ray, neuropsychological tests, hormone and immunological assays, electroencephalography, P300 testing, history, and neurological clinical examination.<br />
<br />
These results would support the provision of clinical cannabis to a greater number of patients in need. We believe that cannabis can be a safe and effective medicine.</blockquote><br />

      <![CDATA[Look, it's obvious at this point that anything they say by way of justifying current marijuana law is just paper thin face-saving bullshit anyway.  Just in my lifetime the official reasons I've heard for its status as a dangerous prohibited substance have changed time and again.  The current favorite, that it's a "gateway drug" -- basically meaning it isn't dangerous, but it might lead to something dangerous -- wouldn't survive two minutes of vigorous debate from any high school forensics team.  (Hint: It's pretty much the first logical fallacy you learn, known as a "slippery slope.")<br />
<br />
It's outrageous, but for me it's not really worth mustering much outrage over anymore.  I don't believe the official arguments for marijuana's legal status, but I also don't believe that the real reasons so many are so dead-set against revising that status are going to change any time soon.
