In my opinion, medical cannabis was just an excuse to decriminalise cannabis. Maybe it helps with very specific conditions better than alternative drugs, but certainly not for all the ailments it's supposed to cure. Now it's actually getting legalised, all the "medical" thing makes even less sense anymore. It needs to be rethought from the start. What I think is sad with all this is that we don't have a meaningful and intelligent debate about the place of recreational drugs in society, and why they should be legalised (or not). Instead of that, we hear hypocritical arguments about cannabis being a "medicine" that can benefit to pretty much anyone. That, or the other camp telling us that users will end up with schizophrenia or other chronic impairments. There should be some middle ground where people are rightly informed about the pros and cons of taking such drugs...
