I agree with your views on lawmakers keeping themselves busy making new laws and expanding their political budgets which they deem "success," but legalizing something isn't a new law its elimination an old law.

And as far as carcinogens go with marijuana, making baked goods is a healthy way to enjoy it. Also vaporization, the act of releasing the THC and CBD by not breaking down the carbon walls of the matter which makes smoke deadly, is another way to enjoy in a healthy manner.

Do you really think Cannabis would be a medicine
if it caused cancers?

Please read Smoke Signals by Martin Lee. Great read.

"Smoke Signals draws attention to underreported scientific breakthroughs, including the discovery of a non-psychoactive component of marijuana, cannabidiol (CBD), which protects the brain against alcohol poisoning, stimulates adult stem cell growth, prevents the onset of diabetes, and shrinks malignant tumors — without causing a “high.” By mining the plant’s treasure trove of active ingredients, medical researchers have developed promising treatments for cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, chronic pain, and many other conditions that are beyond the reach of conventional cures. “It’s not just marijuana that got prohibited,” Tod Mikuriya, MD, a principal character in Smokes Signals, used to point out, “it’s the truth about history.” Martin A. Lee’s new social history of marijuana goes a long way towards restoring the prohibited truth. Historian Douglas Brinkley said of Smoke Signals: “This is an important, serious-minded look at the role cannabis has played in American history. It tackles the hard issues of marijuana prohibition with keen insight and righteous indignation. I agree with Lee’s central premise that our marijuana laws are draconian. Every American should read this landmark book!” “A ripping read, thoroughly researched, Smoke Signals will help inform the current debate and hopefully hasten the demise of prohibition.” — David Bronner, CEO, Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps Martin A. Lee is the author of several books, including Acid Dreams, his acclaimed social history of LSD. He is the co-founder of FAIR, the national media watch group, and director of Project CBD, an information service that reports on cannabis science and therapeutics. Lee is also a contributing editor of O’Shaughnessy’s, the journal of cannabis in clinical practice, and a writer for BeyondTHC.com."
