Should Patients Caught Smoking Marijuana Be Arrested?

Many people suffering from the debilitating affects of illness start consuming marijuana. If these people are caught...should they be arrested?

I think it depends onthe laws of the state in which they reside, and I think that it also depends on whether or not they have taken the proper steps to register and be in compliance for the guidelines set forth by their state. Otherwise i consider their use to be recreational. I still don't think that recreational use of the drug warrants an arrest. I think that growing and distributing it without the proper certificates warrants an investigation and perhaps a trial to determine the validity of such a crime.

My granmother who is in her late 70's and is recovering from breast cancer and has the beginnings of alzeimers was arrested last week for posesstion. I understand that no one should be above the law but come on she's nearly 80 and has less than 6 months to live give her a break and let her enjoy her last few months as painless as she can make it

should parents who drink alcohol be arrested?
how often do you hear of people being beaten when there father/partner has had a spliff compared to how many from alcoholics?

once again just cause alcohol is bad dont mean that pot is any better.
and yes if both parents are drinking around their kids yes they both should be arrested for putting their kids in danger.
i do know a man who hates alcohol but gets high and mean and hits on his woman.

Chase, I respect your views because you are like one of my friends. When he says "i think marijuanna should stay illegal" people counter with the fact that alcohol is legal. He replies "yes, and that should be illegal too". That usually floors most people and puts them completely off guard.

If someone is in constant pain and suffering due to an illness which is relieved completely for a while by using marijuana, by all means I think they should be allowed to do so.
