Maybe You Won’t Believe What Is Happening With Marijuana in Montana
With 23 American states now having legalized medical marijuana, one would only believe to a greater extent of the remaining states to follow in their footsteps. With all the medical relief researchers’ claim in favor of marijuana, the international community should be looking with great hope at cures for diseases like epilepsy, cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis etc. Pharmaceutical businesses are getting into business in a big way and medications should be hitting the market soon, all approved of course.
The possibility of misuse of the medical marijuana
- Why does the whole world crave it?
- Recreational highs of course
- Fads and fashion statements
- Indulging in teenage curiosity
- Vaping, smoking, eating snacks, drinking beverages
When medical marijuana is legally sanctioned, it is assumed that businesses and recreationists are all having a heyday with seed sellers, weed growers and dispensaries all making big bucks. Nobody seems to be bothered about all those suffering patients, maybe aged and struggling to get the cannabis supply to alleviate severe pain or whatever medical suffering.
Montana is the only case of its kind!
Something like that seems to have overtaken the case of Montana that legalized medical marijuana a decade ago. Dispensaries, doctors and patients, suppliers and growers all boomed of course post 2004. After that initial high it appears that things cooled down. In any case everybody worked in fear of Federal laws according to which any kind of marijuana use is illegal. Yet the tacit understanding remained that state laws would keep people safe. Why? Opposition of course from the state legislators! It seems that marijuana has not got rid of that stigma no matter what. Now the State Supreme Court like a referee would decide and that decision could come early like in October.
What happens to the patents, forgetting about the misuse?
The state that once had 30,000 patients saw the numbers dwindle. Yet even now there certainly exists several thousand patients with bona fide marijuana requirement on a regular basis. What happens if the laws turn against them? Some patients say they would still need the stuff maybe from the black market that certainly has a thriving business worldwide. Yet that is a bad alternative for law abiding patients, some in bitter old age with daily tormenting pain to guard against. It makes you look like a villain to get the stuff on the street and use it behind closed doors though it may be cheaper that way.
