- busch30pack, on 10/11/2007, -8/+305MEDICAL marijuana. There's a difference. Title sounds like New Mexico was becoming the new Amsterdamn on Sunday.
- chi1thook, on 10/11/2007, -9/+217Surge in profits for Frito Lay and mini marts expected, buy stock now.
- ruley, on 10/11/2007, -9/+138good story
MISLEADING TITLE.
dugg down. - tanside, on 10/11/2007, -0/+62no crap, i was ready to move...
- madm0nk, on 10/11/2007, -7/+66Dugg down because this ***** left out "MEDICAL", just so he could get on the front page.
- barkingfrog, on 10/11/2007, -3/+59New rule on Digg. If you submit an article about marijuana being legal or whatever else, YOU MUST SAY MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN THE TITLE! I get all happy when i read the title and the i just get kinda pissed.
- epheterson, on 10/11/2007, -1/+39Haha, those people with prescriptions are gonna have a lot of friends
- keyboardduder, on 10/11/2007, -1/+33blind from glaucoma but i still have my funions!
- hambend, on 10/11/2007, -1/+32Nobody's excited about smoking weed, we do it all the time anyway. It's the personal freedoms/life and liberty/not getting your life ruined over a victimless crime that gets us excited.
Seems reasonable to me. - theghoul, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26Ok, how do I catch a mild case of glaucoma?
- afruff23, on 10/11/2007, -2/+26LOL "Amsterdamn"
- nullmind, on 10/11/2007, -0/+23Oregon has over 30,000 card holders and we can grow our own marijuana...
- Radionesiac, on 10/11/2007, -7/+29misleading title.
- SteveTheSultan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+21This is great !! But can I wear my BONG HITS FOR JESUS shirt?
- jask0, on 10/11/2007, -4/+24exactly what busch30pack said.......
....but it's a step in the right direction.
www.norml.org. - joemofo214, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17haha. "yes, i have explosive diarrhea and i would like a prescription for it please"
- ddxChrist, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15That's great. At least it won't be demonized for having no medicinal uses. I'm fine with it for recreational use, but at the very least don't punish the people in extreme pain or without appetite. Have not they suffered enough?
- DiggzDE, on 10/11/2007, -2/+16Buried for inaccurate title
- Snarfy, on 10/11/2007, -9/+22*****. Awesome.
- MacGyver2210, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14"rent out the other rooms to pot heads and watch the money roll in"
It would appear you don't know potheads very well... - jbignell, on 10/11/2007, -4/+16So what, the medical community gives morphine and other illegal drugs everyday. Why would this drug be any different? It has worked in Canada for years.
- coviecarbine, on 10/11/2007, -4/+16I agree Buried as inaccurate, submit one with medical marijuana instead and ill digg that
- Jwoey, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13How's your geography?
- reddevil3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11You should care. I don't smoke anything or drink alcohol. But I realize the effect prohibition has on society. There are way too many non-violent offenders filling up prisons, and let's not forget how drugs affect the urban areas.
- physphd, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11The "so what" is that it is a step back toward sanity. Remember, in the US marijuana is a schedule 1 drug and as such is deemed to meet three criteria, one of which is that it has no accepted medicinal value (something that is demonstrably false), making it even more restricted that your example of morphine and other opiates and subject to correspondingly stiffer penalties. Though this is only a state law vice federal, it is nonetheless an important and visible step.
- pfhackett, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10You'll care a lot more when someone you love has to undergo chemotherapy.
- coviecarbine, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13If you hadn't noticed, the headline was "Marijuana will be legal in New Mexico starting Sunday", If marijuana were legal in New Mexico tomorrow, I could stand in front of the cop shop (Krispy Kreme) and smoke a joint. I have a sinking feeling that i would be arrested, therefor title=inaccurate.
- hokeywebb22, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14I got a great new business plan.
Move to New Mexico and buy a house. Then get a medical marijuana license and grow it. Then rent out the other rooms to pot heads and watch the money roll in. - TheTaoOfBill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9From what I hear (with little backed up info mind you) is that any state is perfectly within their rights to legalize all use of marijuana in their state. However the federal government basicly makes sure that doesn't happen by offering funding for state roads if they keep weed illegal. Not sure if that's true or not but I am pretty sure deciding which drugs are legal and which aren't is a state matter.
- coviecarbine, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I know that the feds cut off funding for freeways if states lower their drinking age... I do know that MJ is a Schedule 1 substance according to the 1970's controlled substance act...So the federal government ultimately has final say, that's why the DEA (not local and state police of course) keeps busting medical marijuana dispensary's in California.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Yep, sure is misleading title, but a good step nonetheless.
I challenge anyone to a debate on why Marijuana is less-damaging than alcohol!

Great website that debunks the 'myths' that the government spoon feeds to the country informing them of the dangers of marijuana. The one given above hyperlinks down to the 'pot kills brain cells' one ;)
Digg it up to inform the uninformed! :) - MacGyver2210, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Sure, if by 'endless supply' you mean like 3-4 plants....which I could smoke in a few hours with some effort.
- funk49, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6@Shorties
No, this is no different than California's law, which entitles a patient to grow their own. You're even instructed to place a big huge blown up copy of your card in plain view with the plants to show that it's for medicine.
Macguyver
I'm calling utter ***** on smoking 3-4 plants worth of bud in a few hours. I would love to see you attempt that with some Trainwreck or Kush...you'd pass out before you could pull it off. - DubbedOver, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5You do realize that the feds can still take you down. See what happens when the federal government has it's nose where it does not belong?
You get the states who want one thing (they better represent the people being "closer" to them) and the feds trying to rule like a dictator reinforcing policies that no longer appeal to the masses. - JCPRuckus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Actually, studies have shown that though the physical effects are similar, marijuana users tend to compensate for their impairment by acting more cautiously (e.g., driving slower, less aggressively, etc.) while those under the influence of alcohol do not. So 'holistically' marijuana is, in fact, less dangerous... especially if one considers all the other unpleasant effects that alcohol has on many people. Let's just say that there's no such concept as 'your typical angry pot-head'.
- miriclaire, on 10/17/2007, -3/+8Mood-stabilizers can fix that right up for ya.
- Protean1, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8Roll your eye all the way up, drip a single drop of bleach in your lower eyelid, and hang on tight.
...
Or you could just borrow a needle from a junkie and go with the AIDS option.
/totally not serious.
//stuff robs your motivation anyway - LeadHead, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6If they were actually educated on Marijuana and how it is a drug that has far less dangers than alcohol (if any at all), it wouldn't 'fly in their face' so much.
Then again, I'm from Vancouver, BC and too stoned to care for ignorance. - TheTaoOfBill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Sounds like you know more than I do lol I'm just going by what a friend told me.
- easy4lif, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5I predict New Mexico is gonna see a lot more DEA raids come sunday just like california.
- AgentEntropy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4"Frankly I can't see why anyone would purposefully do anything that they knew would impair their mental capacity or in any way place their physical and psychological well-being in harm's way."
Right, because that Mountain Dew you're drinking is certainly healthy, and the caffeine in it isn't affecting your mental state at all... - Ngai, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7"Hamster dam"
LOL^2 - nymphetamine, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Diego9 sucks more.
- loudwhisper, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Isn't there still a federal law that makes Marijuana illegal in any way?
And federal law overrides state law.
I think this problem has happened before, in California. - tanside, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4so it tricked you too huh? were you ready to move more than I?
- bigteebo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Note to self: make new friends in NM, starting with people who have glaucoma.
- sparrowkc, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Legal marijuana! Hot damn!
Wait... Medical only?
err, MY BALLS ARE ON FIRE! THE PAIN! - Hetman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4This is good news. I am glad that the government is finally coming around to the usefulness of marijuana. I will be happy when prohibition for recreational use finally ends. It will probably take a lot longer but this is a great step in the right direction.
- KORGOTH, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4It should come as no surprise that they are allowing patients to grow their own plants. In California, the legal limit is 25 female plants, with similar rules in Oregon I'm fairly sure. Of course, the cannabis clubs have better weed than you could ever hope to grow, so there isn't really a need to grow your own unless you want to sell it back to the clubs. Yes, you can do that :D
