    a scheduled one substance is one with no medical purpose, Marijuana should not even be a scheduled one substance by that very definition

    the prohibition system is not even being used as it was designed for

    Regardless of the value or coherence of the law, it's the law nonetheless. There is no legal prescription for marijuana. For example, in the state of California, it is legally entitled a "letter of recommendation" not a prescription. If you don't like it, work on having your Congressman and Senator change the federal law.

    My view on it is I really don't care if the law is changed. Making marijuana legal will solve some problems and create others. I don't see marijuana as being much worse than alcohol (and certainly no better), so I don't think it should be illegal, but it's not worth fighting for to me.

    actually there is legal prescriptions, now it just has to go to higher courts to decide who it right

    That is false, Medical Marijuana helps with Chemotherapy induced Nausea symptoms so patients can keep food down.

    It has been proved that components of Marijuana have an effect on cancerous cells.

    Marijuana is also an effective pain medication absent the side effects of opiates.

    A handful, but not the state issued ones. Doctors have been arrested and have lost their medical licenses for "prescribing" medical marijuana. Nothing to do with the high courts.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Please show the peer reviewed studies for the above. The only ones that I know of are related to the effect on cancerous cells, but they are in vitro studies, not in vivo studies.

    We have a Commerce Clause and our Tenth Amendment.

    any doctor arrested in a state that approved medical marijuana is a victim of the person arresting them, why are we making our cops into bad guys, making them enforce prohibition laws?

    If you wish, do some research into the benefits of Marijuana, and Cannibis extracts on various conditions, start with the side effects of Chemotherapy, ie Nausea and vomiting, and the inability to keep down solid food, the research like most illegal practices such as the Catholic Church ban on dissection of cadavers, the ban on the administration of Medical Marijuana made no sense, the research was and continues as private work.

    Marijuna and extracts have various components, some are responsible for the effects that make people "high" others have specific medical properties.
    The wax made by heating MM with coconut oil has effects on cancerous cells, this was verified by a Harvard Medical School paper.
    It is easily verified.

    Prop. 215 specifically prohibits the State from prosecuting doctors for recommending marijuana.

    The State is not prosecuting, the Federal Government is prosecuting.
    Even the V.A. is starting to realize the benefits of MM as opposed to other medications in treating PTSD.

    There is no Catholic church ban on dissecting cadavers. Please research before you post garbage.

    Why so nasty ? Google it, there was a Catholic Church ban on disecting cadavers causing Doctors to pay body snatchers, this was a long time ago.

    Woah, somebody is not getting enough fiber.

    Because I don't like lies being told about my church. There's enough crap online without idiocy like the above being continually spread. The supposed ban on dissection was to stop people from taking all the flesh off of dead soldiers so the bones could be sold. (your link didn't work)

    When I was in Med School, that is what We were taught, and I have no beef with the Church, this is ancient history.

    You were taught incorrectly, then, probably by somebody with an axe to grind against the Catholic Church. If it's ancient history, why did you bring it up?

    As an example of persecution of Doctors for Medical research based on Religious reasons, hence why so many Physicians are Athiests.
