Medical Marijuana OK?

The Supreme Court cleared the way Tuesday for state laws allowing ill patients to smoke marijuana if a doctor recommends it.

Justices turned down the Bush administration's request to consider whether the federal government can punish doctors for recommending or perhaps just talking about the benefits of the drug to sick patients. An appeals court said the government cannot.

Quite honestly, I see no reason why medical marijuana ought not be legal. Or, at a minimum, that the ability to experiment with the substance for these purposes should be allowed.
