Additionally, with the federal crackdown even on medical marijuana lately, it’s clear they don’t want anybody to have it in any form. They use various excuses to justify these crackdowns, so I feel that our only option is to make it loud and clear: we don’t want the federal government’s involvement on this subject in any way, shape, or form.

At this point, I don’t think the U.S. federal government will allow true medical legalization. They’ll keep pushing Marinol and other synthetics / extracts rather than allowing us to use the raw plant. Even if they did allow the raw plant, they would likely have strong restrictions on the strains, who was allowed to use it, etc. Very early on, we had to use Vigabatrin semi-illegally (ordered from Canada) to combat Alex’s infantile spasms because the FDA dragged their heels so much. I just don’t trust them to do much of anything with “normal” medications much less cannabis.
