"Most "medical" marijuana card holders dont really need pot medically"

"That's a favorite talking point, unsubstantiated by the evidence."

And the numerous arrests of underage kids in California who falsely obtaining MM cards is unsubstantiated by the evidence?

"For those who are unaware: The DEA has Doctors so spooked that they will NOT precribe pain medications."

That would explain why Oxycontin over prescription and abuse is becoming a widespread problem?

"Most medical marijuana patient home growers aren't going to be so concerned with producing the most heavy duty stoner weed for the relief of pain and nausea."

Yet they refuse to make use of Marinol (a legal prescription drug). Interesting that Marinol doesn't get you high.

"When the law is widely understood to be wrong by anyone who thinks about it rationally, why should it be respected?"

Because it's the law. You don't ignore laws just because you don't agree with them. Just because you like driving fast and are good at it doesn't give you the right (morally or otherwise) to drive 60 in a school zone. You don't like a law, legislate a new one.

I live in Oregon. This article is about Oregon. California's program is very different from our program. I can only speak to what I have witnessed and that is that the majority of cardholders are on the + side of thirty.

I am not Rush Limbaugh. I have never had a prescription for Oxys. I have my own experience and the anecdotal evidence of other pain sufferers plus I've had Doctors come straight out and tell me. If you have a different experience, I'm happy for you. If you DON'T have chronic pain and haven't tried to get pain meds for something lasting longer than a toothache, you are just repeating what you heard on commercials.

Marinol is not what the Big Pharma Pushers would have you believe it is.
