Should Wisconsin legalize marijuana for medical use?
(published 23-Nov-2009, Appleton Post-Crescent)
What's curious about this question is what about the Feds? There are a dozen states that have medical marijuana laws that permit its use in various scenarios; but federal anti-narcotics laws still hold sway. Federal agents can still bust a little home-grown pot patch in those states. The feds do recognize, however, that the enforcement issue is very real. The Marijuana Policy Project pretty much recommends that people living in those states where medical marijuana is legal not worry about arrest because, they say, only 1% of marijuana arrests nationwide are made by the feds. The odds are pretty good that you won't get busted if you're following state law. However, the feds do target medical marijuana "dispensaries", especially in California. I don't mind if Wisconsin passes its own pot law. Just remember that federal law supersedes state law and they could get very interested in your closet pot patch.

Re: Recent commentary: Make pot legal?
It's difficult to conceptualize the amount of money and resources devoted in the past 50 years to the feds' failed attempt to eradicate "highly addictive and extremely dangerous" marijuana. Even the Wisconsin DNR wants deer hunters to "report suspicious activities" regarding marijuana growing operations during the gun deer hunting season this year.
Enough, already. Go catch some terrorists.

Re: Recent commentary: Make pot legal?
Colonel,
You might be interested in the other comments on this issue ( http://www.postcrescent.com/article/20091123/APC06/911230443/1036/Reader-Reaction-Forum--Should-state-legalize-medical-marijuana? ). The easy jibe is that it's a trivial issue, not worthy of serious legislative consideration. There are other fish to fry, right?
I saw your post about the DNR's request to hunters. Gad!
