Well, here in the Netherlands, cannabis is already available on prescription for quite a while. Yes, it is available otherwise too, but that is another story.

Well, it got rather a lot of limelight when Cheech and Chong were first famous (they're touring again, btw). Now the serious attention of scientists, that's what we like!

Medical research on the useful properties of weed is -very- good.

Research on the unintended entertaining properties of weed is also good. I would like to see it evaluated against alcohol to determine if one should be banned while another is allowed. Yeah?
