Last week the Supreme Court criminalized the sale of marijuana for medicinal use. "This just means that tens of thousands of seriously ill patients, people with AIDS and people
confined to wheelchairs, will have to either grow their own or score some on the black market," said Keith Stroup, executive director of the National Organization for Marijuana
Legalization. Gallup surveys indicate that most Americans favor medicinal marijuana use. However, the anti-pot camp says it sends the wrong message to kids," he says. "They hide
behind that strategy to avoid dealing honestly with the issue."
