while I do not agree with the concept that medicine should be withheld from patients, the supreme court did what it's supposed to do. It interpreted the laws without changing them. The only time a court should change a law is when it abolishes the law because the law is unconstitutional.
Now, Congress should immediately move to make this legal. Marijuana is no more addictive or dangerous than morphine, yet we haven't made it illegal for patients in pain to get morphine. The very idea that we should withhold medicine because some people abuse it is absurd, and frankly very scary.
After all, people abuse all sorts of medicines. Coedine, morphine, sudafed, etc. Are they gonna make those illegal too, just because some idiots abuse it?
Seems pretty stupid - and mean-spirited - to me.
