Not to mention the psychological effects it probably has: if someone pretends to have chronic pain when talking to the doctor in order to get a pot 'script, and repeats this behavior for years, how long before he starts just believing that he does in fact have chronic pain, which may adversely affect his physical or emotional well-being?
How could people not foresee how easily and absolutely the medical marijuana system would get exploited like it has in CA & CO?
I don't really care if it's legal or illegal, I just hate a system that incentivizes dishonesty/cheating in so many otherwise honest individuals.

Yeah, they're pretty fucked up and the whole thing is a smoke screen. I'm just pointing out that this isn't some outrageous jump being made. If you want to smoke marijuana legally in California, you can do so rather easily.
