Consider this:
First, the current law is about medicinal use of cannabis, not legalization of marijuana. If current law had considered all that's happening now, it could have included measures of control that would have prohibited some of this mess; probably not all of it. Those anticipated measures would have also required revision by now. Aren't we all well advised to revise the law to refine control, minimizing black market leaks and subculture activities; "let's get the rules in place," let's "tighten this thing up," as Senator Schweitzer suggests." This kind of effort supports Montana voters who approved the initiative and Montanans who may benefit from cannabinoids.
Second, Have you considered how "the rapid proliferation of card-carriers permitted to grow or possess marijuana" came to be? The reason we have such a "proliferation" is largely due to one man's mission to connect patients who have difficulty finding Medical Doctors knowledgeable about cannabinoids or who are willing to start doing the incredible task of managing standards of care for a substance than cannot be applied in traditional pharma modality. Albeit, Jason Christ has over stepped the acceptable societal bounds by exercising his rights as an individual within current law. This serves mainly to show us where laws need adjusting. While we're talking about medicinal cannabis, let's "tighten this thing up" and improve our community service.
and Third, there is a problem with current education of Medical Doctors in the United States, in that there has not been enough effective science allowed in the US related to beneficial use of cannabinoids. Our science is disable because the cultural outlawing of cannabis has precluded effective research here. Legalities aside, when we have established standards of care that help identify potential benefits, we can begin the long process of understanding the full value of cannabinoids in our lives or at maybe just the benefit to our ailing.
and Finally, for those that have a hard time with the whole issue of medical cannabis [marijuana], consider the bible is not exclusive in it's identification of plants put here for human use; cannabis is a plant like any other. Shall we exclude daffodils, since eating anything but their petals can kill you? Consider the government's ability to control morality and if the government is not favorable to your beliefs, do you give in or assert your rights?
