Definitely decriminalize marijuana for people who medicinally need it. My uncle is on morphine in the later stages of cancer. What is with a government that would deny him marijuana that would help him with his appetite? It's just a joke. If people need it medicinally, then give it to them. They're so free with their demerol and morphine and other kinds of painkillers, so it just doesn't make sense.
