Marajuana Is Not a Medicine

 

            
             The initiative to legalize Marijuana for medical purposes passed in California because scare tactics were used to mislead the public. Supporters of the movement to legalize pot used words such as "medicine" and "life threatening diseases" to trick the citizens of California into voting in favor of the "Free Pot Movement". The public heard these words and voted in favor of the proposition believing that it would bring comfort to those who are sick and suffering. Unfortunately, proposition 215 has nothing to do with medicine and is not bettering this state. .
             The framers of proposition 215 have admitted that they are using medical marijuana use as a stepping stone towards the free use of marijuana. Dick Cowan, the director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), is quoted "The key [is] medical access, because once you have hundreds of thousands of people using marijuana under medical supervision, the whole scam is going to be brought up.then we will get medical then we will get full legalization" (Use of Marijuana as "Medicine") A similar message appears in High Times Magazine where the director of NORML "expressly stated that the medical use of marijuana is an integral part of the strategy to legalize marijuana" (Use of Marijuana as "Medicine"). .
             Just look at who is on either side of the issue. Proposition 215 was backed by organizations such as NORML, the Drug Policy Foundation (DPF), and Californians for Medical Rights (CMR). These organizations are political, not scientific. The studies that they claim help their side have been found to be either "unsubstantial, unscientific, or poorly researched" (Use of Marijuana as "Medicine"). The credibility of their "experts" has also been found to be questionable.
             One of the experts who testified at the 1987 federal hearings to reschedule marijuana.admitted under oath to using every illegal mind altering drug he ever studied.
