I'm sure if O's health care plan goes through, there will be 18,000 shortly.
I don't see a problem with medicinal marijana, if it is indeed being used for medicinal purposes.

A very good friend of mine was just diagnosed with lymphatic cancer at the age of 48. It has spread to her lungs and liver. They have given her less than a year to live, with chemo. The chemo makes her sick as hell. If marijuana could ease that, and enable her last year of life with her husband, children and grandchildren be more pleasant, I don't know why she shouldn't be able to do so.

Unfortuantely we live in IL, and she will never have that option.
