Is it right or wrong for the federal government to arrest brain cancer patients for using medical marijuana?

Add to that people with multiple sclerosis, HIV, AIDS, other cancers, glaucoma and terminal people. Should they be arrested because they are breaking the law, or should they be allowed access to the medicine that helps them the best?

It's wrong on so many levels ! My wife is battling ovarian cancer. It's been more than 2 years since her initial operation. Her doctors are amazed at her current state of health. She has beaten the odds, and is still enjoying life. The medical cannabis that she uses is what helps keep her alive! The stuff keeps her eating, and her spirits up. We know that it's not a cure, but only a form of treatment. We live in a state that allows medical pot, and she has her permit. The other pain killers she takes are the kind junkies kill pharmacists for. Any one of them could be fatal if overdosed. All she needs for them is a prescription, that I can fill for no charge,at the grocery store. However, for the medical pot, we have to pay 100$ a year for the permit, and then wait 3 months for the first harvest. Not exactly fair.
If she wants to puff on some pot,as she tries to stay alive, who the f*ck cares!
Federal agents of the DEA , that bust pot clinics are the bottom feeders of law enforcement ! Pot is classified as a 'schedule 1' drug, because the govt. claims it has no medical purpose.
That is a LIE !
It's time to put pot in the same category as ASPIRIN !

Wrong. This was a decision made by the corrupt pharmaceutical companies and paper corporations that want marijuana illegal, because they'll lose huge profits. These people actually lobby the government to ban it. Marijuana can be taxed, and there's no history of this plant killing anyone, unlike alcohol and cigarettes. I believe states should have the right to legalize/ban that suits their local population. See the 10th amendment.

TOTALLY WRONG !!!!! Many states have legalized the medicinal use of marijuana. Why should the federal government over ride it and penalize medicinal users w/eviction from federally subsidized housing, close down legal sellers etc.

Maybe the pharmaceutical companies would lose money if people use this for the pain, instead of their high priced meds.

The goverment shouldn't arrest any american in "the land of the freedom" for smoking, smoking whatever you smoke is not a crime, period.
Bernard Madoff is now in his 7 millions NY apartment with all the building scorted with private guards, who pays for that??? what about arresting this guy??? I bet he is also smoking pot there.

it is wrong- and it is used by these folks mainly to help stimulate appetite and relieve nausea, in the few states it is legal there have been many times when the feds have overruled the state and so very sick folks went to jail- it's really sad.

They should allow bids by big pharma to legally produce it. The auction would raise several billion dollars. The government would also charge a royalty so they would keep making money yearly. Put it in a spray form like an asthma inhaler.

Wrong . the government is just going along with the Pharmaceutical companies who lobby against it . They want you to buy their chemical drugs instead .

we should legalize marijuana

we can tax it and make loads
stop drug wars

so what if people get high? lots of benefits form legalizing marijuana

no people shouldnt be punish for using medical marijuana

Absolutely WRONG. This is why our government, like so many before it, will fail.

lets just say that when it comes to any marijuana law right now period , if I were on the jury I would practice jury nullification.

Sure, why not? They have money or they could not afford the pot. We never arrest anyone that does not have money, unless we are needing a scape goat.

It's wrong.

I have never smoked pot in my life and I think it's TOTALLY wrong...yet, I think cancer patients should be able to use it.

It should be prescribed by a REPUTABLE doctor. If so then yes they should be able to.

I think its wrong to arrest anyone for using marijuana.

I really dont see whats wrong with it. If it is helping cancer patients then the Govt should allow it...which some states do

Wrong. See 10th Amendment.

You don't look like a brain cancer patient. If you are, those munchies are kicking in pretty good.

they should be allowed and please change your picture

ditto Nichole

it's wrong

i'm gonna vote for nicole (on both parts of her answer )
