Grandma Has the Right To Burn One Down

I don't smoke pot, but I find this quite disturbing. Apparently the Supreme Court has rejected the use of marijuana for the terminally ill. Over the past year I have moved further away from conservativism and closer to libertarianism because of actions like this. Not only does this decision limit individual freedom, but it has also turned the terminally ill and elderly seeking cheaper and safer pain relief into criminals. How absurd would it be to see an 80 year old woman, who lives next door and used to make you cookies when you were five, get arrested for smoking a bunch of leaves to relieve her arthritis pain or glaucoma? Many of the pain relievers that are approved by the FDA have harsher side effects than marijuana, such as nausea and vomiting. Gee, that sounds like a lot of fun. But hey, most of those guys on The Hill or in the Supreme Court don't suffer from glaucoma, AIDS, brain tumors, or polio.... so what do they care? ~ Rich
