New York state legalizes medical marijuana

[RainDog]

1. New York is #23. 10 other states have limited mmj bills pending

That will make 33 states plus Washington, D.C. that recognize medical value for marijuana, in spite of the drug warrior insistence that there is no medical value.

It's time for the Justice Dept. to amend the Controlled Substances Act and remove marijuana as a schedule I drug. An overwhelming majority in the United States - the population, the legislatures, doctors and other health care professionals recognize the medical value of marijuana.

Continuing the schedule I designation for marijuana merely indicates that the DEA, the FDA and the NIDA are reactionary political bodies that are unconcerned with scientific and medical evidence.

Citizens of this nation do not want our taxes to support the medieval mindset of these bureaucracies.
