That's not an analogy (marijuana=nuclear weapons). That's a rediculous comparison. Ever heard of keeping things in proportion? I don't think I'm being unreasonable or argumentative by saying that the comparison you made was way out of proportion to the idea being discussed. I acknowldege that the federal government currently outlaws marijuana, even for medical conditions, and states have to abide by that law, as state law is superceeded by federal law. The point I'm trying to make is that if enough people get their states to pass medical marijuana laws, how can the feds thrawrt the will of the people? The feds don't regulate things like how much nudity a state allows in a go-go bar or how old someone has to be to drive a car. That is where medical marijuana will be in a few years if enough states diverege from the federal government's policy, federal policy will have to change to accomodate the will of the people. The feds leave many things up to the states to decide, sooner or later medical marijuana might be one of them. There's no reason why FDA DEA regulations and federal laws can't be changed to accomodate the wishes of the states in regards to medicinal marijuana. Our laws can be ammended and changed.
