I will be surprised if it became law. NO-ONE CAN SMOKE 6 OUNCES OF REEFER IN A MONTH, unless you smoked 24 hours a day and even then you couldn't smoke that much.

My knee is kinda buggin' me...I'm headin' to the Doc's on Monday...they don't give the hillbilly heroin for that, but I LIKE VICODIN!

I used to like it when they hooked up the air pump...it was like an injection.

You're sayin' a lot here. The Cocoa leaf is another natural product that "works" quite well by itself...but through various processing it becomes a highly addictive substance.

I'm all for legalizing it and taxing it - maybe then they won't cut the hours at the library!

You want to ban coffee and Advil...?

What's next? Banning salt?

What's up big brother...

well of course they should be banned...along with this website, the newspaper, books and anything that makes you think, because that's "mind altering" as well

"A bill allowing use of medical marijuana in Delaware's cleared the state Senate's Health and Social Services Committee.
Wilmington Democrat Margaret Rose Henry, who sponsored the measure, calls Wednesday's vote "a milestone".

"The bill would make marijuana available to patients suffering from conditions including cancer, AIDS and MS, but those patients could only get the drug at centers set up to dispense it, and only after showing ID.

If the bill becomes law, Delaware will be the 14th state to legalize marijuana for medical uses."

WOW!.. thats awesome...

There is no such thing. No doctor is writing such "prescriptions" and no Happy Harry pharmacy is filling such fantasy prescriptions.

One step closer to medicalization, which is further AWAY from re-legalization.

Notable issues with SB 94 include:

Only a SHORT LIST of SEVEN dis-eases will be "protected" but only if you are rich enough to afford going to a doctor for a "recommendation", and only if you can afford doctor shopping till you find one brave enough to write it. Then there is the annual cost of the ID, and the contribution this will make to keeping prices sky high.

SB 94 will not protect a single actual patient, since no patients are being arrested. In fadct, thbis bill is nothing but a callous attempt to pass three more anti-religious/anti/recreational/anti-industrial crimes.

Consider this - there are 250,000 regular ganja consumers in Delaware. Last year about 200 were arrested. Not one patient was arrested. Why do we need a law for patients who are presently NOT being arrested? The only people being arrested for ganja related charges in Delaware are those who are either commiting other crimes or are stupid enough to throw away their rights and give permission to search in simple traffic stops. Patients are not being arrested.

In fact, the Senate HHS committe went out of their way to remove glaucoma from the very short list of sufferings for which patients are to be protected, signalling that this bill is about destroying the present affirmative defense for medical purposes all patients can presently use.

Also, consider - every single state that passesd medicalization bills is now arresting more people than they did prior to passing such nonsense. Every single state was seeing decreases in arrests, they passed assinine medicalization laws, and the arrest rate shot up and keeps rising.

Also, re-legalization efforts have come to a screetching stop in every state that passed such laws, despite the highly publicized random thoughts filtering out of CA. The fact is that re-legalization is completely stalled and more people are being arrested.

I am a petient who would benefit from the passage of SB 94, and I am too ethical to see a bill like SB 94 pass that further demonizes everyone but a small handful of patients.

If people are actually ethical, they should demand, as Lester Grinspoon and former NORML chairman Dick Cowan have, that medical marijuana bills be abandoned and ganja simply be re-legalized.

We have defacto legalization in Delaware, why not just re-legalize?

No....

but I'd offer to give it one helluva shot........

Taxation is a bad model for re-legalization. Such a model will simply result in a continuation of the black market, and probably be an excuse for restricting home grown.

As for cutting the hours at the library - Just relegalizing will free up over $11 MILLION a year that is presently being wasted on ganja "investigations" that result in no one being arrested, and millions more in wasted hours processing the extra ganja charges added on when people are arrested for OTHER crime (most ganja arrests), and more millions wasted on the "investigation", arrest, hearings, and etc. wasted on the small handful arrested in traffic stops (when they stupidly give away their right to not be searched).

Yeah...right...and every-other home in Arden has a still in the basement producing white-lightning to sell to teenagers.

Legalize/tax it like beer is. Let everyone who wants it have the option to purchase it legally if they wish.

Some of you who know me know I used to hang around with a VERY bad crowd, we smoked, drank, snorted, smoked, drank more etc. you get the picture. Some of this stuff was against the law some was not.......

The one thing that always got to me was the fact that cigarettes were legal but they were the hardest thing to give up....wtf is the matter with us when this can happen? I guess it really is "all about the benjamins"

I smoked for YEARS (granted it was only two packs a week), but one day I woke up and decided that I wasn't going to anymore and I quit. It was not difficult at all. However....for me to give up overeating, I had to have major surgery. Does that mean that the government should outlaw any food that isn't healthy?

There is no difference in marijuana and any other questionable substance...except that politicians are making more money by keeping it legal than they would if it was legalized.

As a side note....I'd love to know what police officers think about this. I personally believe that there would be less crime if it was legalized, but without the "war on drugs", would police officers be laid off?

Would prison guards be laid off?
