"Marijuana
is the drug that should most clearly be brought into a system of
regulation and taxation. It is less dangerous than drugs like alcohol
and tobacco; as far as addiction and death. Regulation and taxation
would provide greater control over purity, potency, labeling health
warnings and age restrictions than the ineffective current 'war on
marijuana' approach." Ralph Nader, The
Drug War Chronicle, 2004

Medical Ethics & Cannabis Prohibition - by Richard Bonnie, JK
Summary Quote: "Legally and ethically, medical marijuana use is a very
complicated problem right now. It will remain complicated unless and
until the federal government accepts the moral claim of medical
marijuana use and disentangles medical marijuana use from recreational
marijuana use. Technically, the way to do this is to move Cannabis to
Schedule 2 and allow the states to set up schemes for distribution under
specified conditions. It is not inconceivable, but not likely in my
view, that the Supreme Court will force Congress to do something -
either by following the Ontario Court (elevating the moral claim to a
Constitutional one) or by holding that the prohibition of Medical
Marajiuana exceeds Congressional authority under the commerce clause.
Meanwhile, until the basic structural problem is solved, physicians are
caught in the middle. The legal threats push toward abstention, but
ethical obligations push in the other direction.
