Someones finally making sense!  California ... normally not would I would call the most "together" state ... has finally taken a solid step forward in the great pot debate!!

California doctors are banding together to push for the legalization of marijuana.  Citing it's known benefits as well as the unknown ones, these docs say it's time to let doctors and patients figure out what's best and/or working. NOT politicians. (Thank you.  As far as I'm concerned, we'd be a lot better off if we got the politicians out of just about everything!!)

I'm glad someones finally taking a common sense approach to this. Let Doctors, who routinely prescribe much more powerful and dangerous drugs, decide whether or not someone can handle a toke or two.

We trust them with worse as far as drugs go; I think we can trust them here!!  Americas archaic cannabis related drug laws leave non criminals behind bars and make the states money in fines but, otherwise, don't really seem to serve much of a purpose. 

In fact a recent survey in sfweekly indicates that the greatest number of Americans ever now favor legalization!!

What do you think?  Yes or no on the ganja??
