The pharmaceutical companies will resist legalizing marijuana as much as the drug cartels do. However, there are many reasons that smoking would be more affordable and lower insurance costs. I can figure no reason to force dying patients to live with torturing pain rather than allow them to have a pain reliever that doctors say works for them. Fourteen states have enacted laws that legalized medical marijuana.
Apparently more baby boomers are smoking marijuana rather than reach for anti-depressants and pain killers. What could be bad about this other than not having to make the pharmaceutical industry and their share holders richer? The drug cartels will have to find another business to get into. We can be assured that crime will always be there.
