Question by Joe B: Why is it that all these states are finding medical benefit in marijuana but the Federal gov can’t?
Are the states wrong finding medical benefit or are they looking to give “drug addicts” a free pass from prosecution and help with their daily fix?
Would the federal government lie about finding any benefit? Would they knowingly lie because if they did find benefit, it would have to become a prescription, thus legal on the federal level?
