Colorado voters legalized medical marijuana in 2001, with the passage of a state constitutional amendment. The industry languished after the amendment became effective, since marijuana was still illegal under federal law. The risk of federal prosecution, even though medical cannabis was technically legal under state law, was simply too great. However, in 2009, the federal government indicated an unwillingness to enforce federal drug laws in contravention to the 14 state medical marijuana laws effective around the county.

Sometimes it is too much work to find a very good smoke shop. Some only have straight tobacco, others just cigars and if I want a cheap smoke you may be out of luck.

Many people do not understand why individuals become addicted to drugs or how drugs change the brain to foster compulsive drug abuse. They mistakenly view drug abuse and addiction as strictly a social problem and may characterize those who take drugs as morally weak.

An La Times medical reporter interviewed a group of doctors that were researching the benefits of medical marijuana. The issue of whether marijuana has any medical benefits is all determined on whom you ask–should marijuana be labeled with the dangerous drugs like PCP and heroin, or is it a miracle herb that has an abundance of uses and is being suppressed by the government–perhaps its something in between: an herb with tremendous medical benefits yet with drawbacks, worth looking into.
