I've heard since '96 that the whole "medical marijuana" thing was really just the government's way of getting all the pot users to register themselves and then, when they make the shit completely illegal again, they'll have a list of people to target!
But now, so many states have adopted the medical guidelines and soo many ppl using it medicinally, that IDK if the feds will be able to do anything about it. I've asked before and never have gotten a response (and I may post a thread about it in the legal edge forum) but if a certain amount of states pass a law, don't the rest have to do the same? Like more than half or something?
Anyway, times are a changin', the economy has affected everything including ppl's attitudes about the war on drugs! It's changed from "lock up all the druggies" to "it's expensive to lock up all the druggies"! lmao
