How come everyone is so focused on Medical Marijuana?

It's natural and has been PROVEN to have great success at helping a vast amount of ailments. Whether your need is one due to a terminal condition or not, it works and ALL should have access to it.

Why isnt our government concerned about the effects of cigarettes or alcohol? People die from those and yet there are legal. As a matter of fact WE ALL KNOW CIGARETTES KILL so why are they legal? Name ONE benefit from a cigarette? Can you think of one? Didn't think so but keep picking on medical marijuana, that makes sense.

How about the fact that the DEA has a schedule of drugs in which Schedule 1 is the worst and considered to have NO social or medicinal value. Schedule 2 is next and so on... Well, here's the kicker...
Schedule 2
PCP
Crack
Meth
Crank
LSD

Schedule 1 (the worst)
Marijuana

Now, I think we can ALL agree that pot is far less of a threat than ANY of those listed above as a "Schedule 2" drug. Why do we allow this? This is what allows the Government to justify the ridiculous amount of money they spend on the "War on Medical Marijuana"

I we're in a recession! AWESOME!!!

Our cities are cutting back everywhere but they have no problem wasting money pursuing the pot industry when they could be making money from it, that's lame! Think about that. Your property tax money going to wards fighting something that is LEGAL by law of the State but the cities want to ban it and prosecute those involved in this industry, even the ones who AREN'T operating illegally. all the time wasting your money. 56% of California voted for medical marijuana 13 years ago, how many stoners do you think didn't even show up to vote? Remember, that was when college students and such didn't vote in large numbers. Since then, public knowledge and support have grown since then and people are voting now, it's changed. Large amounts of revenue could be generated from regulated medical marijuana, it's a benefit to so many, a threat to none. Why?

Please do the right thing and help us bring the reality of the necessity of medical marijuana to those who oppose our cause.
