This article discusses how the growing number of medical marijuana clinics opening in California has started up the debate about both their legitimacy and worthiness. California's Compassionate Use Act passed allowed patients holding a valid doctor's recommendation to possess and cultivate marijuana for personal medical use. The act praised medical marijuana's benefit in patients with AIDS, chronic pain and cancer. State and federally funded research concerning medical marijuana was conducted. One doctor said, "I see cancer patients every day who suffer from loss of appetite, weight loss, pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia and nausea. With cannabis, I can recommend one medicine instead of writing prescriptions for six or seven." Recently there has been as rise in the number of physicians who recommend marijuana for less critical conditions, from migraines to restless leg syndrome. Some doctors were sanctioned for not detecting overt, drug-seeking behaviors in patients looking for medical marijuana recommendations. Records indicate some complaints to the board came from undercover police officers.
I feel this is exactly other states’ concern with legalizing this type of medicine. Over prescribing marijuana can lead to other issues such as becoming reliant on the prescription for other purposes or the selling of the medicine for profit. If marijuana really is the proper medicine for whatever complaint then it should really be looked into and the patient should be monitored to make sure they really do need it.

Im agree I dont think anything is wrong with proscribing Marijuana if it helps the cancer patient or the person with AIDs if it helps with the serious cases then proscribe it but they need to be strict about it and not giving it out to everyone because that is when your going to have people fake an illness just to legally have the drug.
If marijuana was to be legalized for ANY purposes, people who enguage in smoking for recreational purposes will get their hands on it one way or the other. The potency of this medical marijuana is much stronger than most "weed" on the streets. The average smoker will become accustomed to a stronger leveled drug which is an issue in its self. Either ban it completely or legalize it fully. There is no gray area in my opionion
To be honest, I don't think it should matter. There are ways to get marijuana without a doctor because people do it all the time. it does have its health benefits and to some, its recreational benefits. But I always thought the government had a hand in marijuana production (maybe I am getting ahead of myself).
