The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), the Society’s advocacy affiliate, has not taken a position on legalization of marijuana for medical purposes because of the need for more scientific research on marijuana’s potential benefits and harms. However, ACS CAN opposes the smoking or vaping of marijuana and other cannabinoids in public places because the carcinogens in marijuana smoke pose numerous health hazards to the patient and others in the patient’s presence.

They're against the use of smokeless tobacco, too. Maybe it should be illegal.

Stop with logic.

The S.C. legislators are trail blazing as usual.

Marijuana research has never really been conducted because the plant threatens the interests of big oil, big pharma and companies like DuPont.

Big Alcohol lobbyists will feel mighty left out if they see this...

The fed gov is already collecting income tax from growers/dispensaries in states that have legalized. They're already complicit in the manufacture and sale of a Class I controlled substance. They've got a teat in one hand and handcuffs in the other, being a part of the war on weed while also profiting from its legal sale in certain states.

The US senate [and lobbyists and governmental agencies who profit from it remaining illegal] are the last domino to fall in terms of ending prohibition. The MORE act dies in the senate annually. Thank you, Mitch, you yertle the turtle lookin' phuck stain.

Except menthols.

too risky, apparently

Just think if Standard Oil and DuPont had not orchestrated the Marihuana Act of 1937 we would have cars using hemp oil, we would not be reliant on foreign oil and we would not have .gov pushing these stupid electric vehicles.

That hemp oil blows a much bigger hole in the ozone that petroleum.

We need catalytic converters on all our hippies.

Does petroleum manufacturing reduce C02 levels in the same manner as a field of cannabis or hemp? Are petroleum based products biodegradable? You don't have to be a stoner to admit that perhaps a country based on hemp-made products would be more environmentally sound than one based on petroleum products.

I realize it's far too late to try and put the genie back in the bottle but it's never too late to see we might have taken a wrong turn on our travels.
