Well, I'm not sure about that last comment about there being no public outcry that it be reclassified. Several states have passed medical use propositions on the ballots. Arizona has done it twice, and both times the legislature went against the will of the voters and refused to allow it.

Why on earth would you take an effective form of relief from a cancer patient suffering pain and discomfort just to perpetuate a war on drugs that was lost before it started?
