Our nation was made for the federal government and state governments to have their own separate laws, and that whatever federal law there is in place, states can’t make laws that affect the federal ones. In response to this, I feel that the federal government should let the state governments have medical marijuana laws, but work together to make the state laws legal on the stance that it doesn’t affect the federal laws that are already in place. Speaking on behalf of the federal government thinking that with state medical marijuana laws in place, will make the controlled substance act ineffective, my argument, which is also the state governments argument, would be that the state laws won’t make the act ineffective because the marijuana isn’t being sold from state to state. In addition, if it does end up effecting interstate commerce then the federal government can then prosecute those people not following the Act. All in all, if the medical marijuana is regulated properly then the federal government won’t lose oversight of illegal drugs.
Twelve Step-Facilitation therapies also assume that alcoholism and other drug addictions are primary diagnoses and not symptoms of another diagnosis (e.g. depression, antisocial
Ethical issues and a lack of research studies that prove the effectiveness of Cannabis are the reason the drug has not be legalized in all states. Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies is working on research to show the usefulness of medicinal Marijuana in a therapeutic situation.

Issue Statement Whether a manufacturer of nonprescription drugs may incur tort liability for distributing its product, according to federal standards, which only required warnings to be written in English? Rule Tort liability is not incurred when drug manufactures meet federal standards, in the distribution of its drug, even though the federal standard may fail to include consideration of all the potential risks posted to the customer of the manufactures. Analysis Even though this case does not require nonprescription drug labels to be in languages other than English, it points out that the court did not eliminate the possibility of tort liability premised upon the content of foreign-language advertising. The court states that it does not decide whether a manufacturer would be liable to a consumer who detrimentally relied upon foreign-language advertising that was materially misleading as to product risks and who was unable to read English language package warnings that accurately described the risk. Conclusion Recognizing the importance of uniformity and predictability in this sensitive area of the law, I conclude that the rule for tort liability should conform to state and federal statutory and administrative law.
The name "heroin" is only used when being discussed in its illegal form. When it is used in a medical environment, it is referred to as Diamorphine. The white crystalline form considered "pure heroin" is usually the hydrochloride
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved marijuana as a medicine, citing the fact that it has not gone through rigorous clinical testing like other new drugs must. Proponents state that marijuana is not a "new" drug, it should be "grandfathered" into legality, and it has not gone through FDA mandated testing because the government has blocked such efforts .

In 1990 drug consumption on Vancouver's east side hit crisis levels. In order to combat this serious issue a safe injection site was prescribed. The clinic labeled Insite provided a safe and clean environment for users to consumer their drugs with clean needles under medical supervision, thus helping to stop the spread of HIV, AIDS and Hepatitis C. To operate the clinic “required exemption from the prohibition of possession and trafficking of controlled substances under s.56 of the Controlled drug and substance act.” An exemption to sections of the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act in particular; “4 (1) Except as authorized under the regulations, no person shall possess a substance included in Schedule I, II or III” and “5 (1) No person
812). Some controlled substances are prescription drugs that have legitimate medical uses Section 36.209 does not affect use of controlled substances pursuant to a valid prescription, under supervision by a licensed health care professional, or other use that is authorized by the Controlled Substances Act or any other provision of federal law (Rendall, p. 326) Such guidelines as having a licensed health care provider prescribing marijuana along with applying the policies that are already in place for dispensing prescription drugs, like OxyCotin, Xanax or the many other Schedule II drugs are followed this would be of assistance in protecting society’s rights as well as individuals rights. Society has already deemed these policies necessary for other prescription drugs that have been shown to have the potential to cause more harm than marijuana. Then why not extend that same coverage to medical marijuana and the patients who need it for legitimate health
There is no scientific evidence that marijuana prevents the progression of visual loss in glaucoma. While marijuana, as well as alcohol and a host of other substances, and lower intraocular eye pressure, the medication must be carefully tailored to the individual to prevent further eye damage. Besides numerous adverse side effects of smoking marijuana, the dose cannot be controlled. Several AIDS patients are using marijuana because of the claim that it gets rid of some of the side effects. Smoking marijuana to reduce the side effects of AIDS compromises the immune system and puts AIDS patients at a significant risk for infections and respiratory problems.
States are using the tenth amendment to get their point across there path is highlighting the fact that the use of Medical Marijuana was not classified, Marijuana was classified before we knew the benefits of use. The tenth amendment states ‘The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.’ In the United States Constitution there is a supremacy clause, which says that in case of conflict federal law precedes state law. According to federal law, there is no such thing as Medical Marijuana. Marijuana is a dangerous drug that the United States Congress has classified as a Schedule One substance. A Schedule One Substance doesn't have any accepted medical use in the United States and a high potential for abuse.
