Cannabis sativa has much good to give society. It has the potential to treat and prevent diseases like various cancers, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, bone disorders, diabetes complications, strokes, stroke damage, epilepsy, MRSA, pain, insomnia, schizophrenia, dementia, et al. The Federal government patented the antioxidant and neuroprotective effects of cannabinoids in 2003 in US Patent #6,630,507; of special importance is cannabidiol (CBD), as it is safe, non-psychoactive, and able to attenuate THC's effects. If I can use morphine, amphetamines, alcohol, and tobacco legally, I should be able to use Cannabis sativa legally too.

The Feds recently tested psilocybin on people and saw that the mental health of most of the subjects was better months later. Dr. Albert Hofmann invented LSD and he used it throughout his life; he lived to be 102. Dr. Alexander Shulgin designed psychedelic drugs with the blessing of the DEA; he tested the drugs on himself and his friends and family and he is now 85. Dr. Stanislav Grof has used altered states of consciousness since the middle of the 1900's for therapy (he now uses breathing and meditation, but still gives credit to drugs like LSD for their usefulness). Dr. Kary Mullis used LSD and invented the Nobel Prize-winning DNA amplification technique called PCR. Watson and Crick discovered the structure of LSD and it is said that they used LSD when it was still legal. Steve Jobs supposedly used Cannabis sativa and LSD and Steve Wozniak designed computers "high" on Cannabis sativa; they are now worth billions. Tim Lincecum won two Cy Young Awards and the World Series; he was arrested with Cannabis sativa.

The bottom line is that these substances are not as bad as some would have you believe and their Prohibition makes things worse for society. The War on (Some) Drugs is inherently corrupt and hypocritical. The only honest way to deal with drugs is to use education to minimize any associated harms and treatment to deal with the addictions that may come from the harder drugs, like alcohol and tobacco.
