A couple of years ago, medical marijuana legalization was a hot topic in our state.
Although several other states were already engaged in the legal medical cannabis trade, this more conservative state had not yet embraced the notion that medical cannabis is not the same as recreational marijuana.
Eventually, after years of being a topic around the legislative halls, medical marijuana was not only legalized, but it was also written into the state constitution as a right to this state’s citizens. Legislators, though, who likely were envisioning the smoke-filled back rooms of their youth, insisted that smoking medical marijuana would not be allowed. They only approved other methods of ingestion. In walks a famous and wealthy lawyer and so begins a lawsuit against the state. The lawyer and his medical expert who climbed on board his medical weed bandwagon insisted that inhalation is an efficient and medically effective way to ingest medical marijuana. Therefore, the legislature overstepped its bounds and began making medical decisions when they said that smoking medical cannabis would remain illegal. The legislature then decided they had one thing only to say about smoking the weed. They insisted that it would not be allowed in public, just like smoking cigarettes. It seems like a harmless thing to say, but they can be so stupid, in my humble opinion, because of course that allowed the lawyer to rightly argue a valid point that had not hitherto been brought up. If something is illegal in public, that means it is legal in private. Public intoxication is a crime, but you can get drunk all you want to at home. See his point? Of course, he won, and now people in this state can use medical pot grown by both majority and minority growers, can go to nicely-apportioned medical marijuana stores, and can smoke their lungs out if they so choose.
