I pose the following Question for Forum Discussion referencing my thread entitled, "Marijuana Use Illegal for the Sick, Gasoline Still OK." Please also refer to my arguments and content discussion in that thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=78309
The crux of my Question is, after the Federal government and U.S. Supreme Court shot down California's medical marijuana law, siding the reach of the Federal Controlled Substances Act: Is it yet time for Congress to re-think its position as the unilateral authority over the medical care available to Americans, and pass a Constitutional Amendment of Rights?
How many of you would support a 28th Constitutional Amendment, entitled, "Freedom of Choice in Medical Treatment?"
There comes a time when every piece of legislation will be tested by time, i.e. FDA, reach of the Controlled Substances Act, and whether these should be amended by further legislation, clarifying its role, INTENT, and legal boundary.
Such an Amendment would NOT be about the right to smoke medical marijuana. It would be about the right to choose and have access to treatments, now, and in the years to come, that have not yet been adopted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other agencies of the federal and state governments. There are countless examples of harm that has been brought to Americans by FDA and restrictive federal and state policies. These challenges will only multiply, greatly, due to globalization - as the U.S. looses its position of dominance over health care products and treatments.
By law, Americans should have access to any reasonable treatment, which would trump current U.S. law, and enable its citizens the right to choose which treatments, drugs, medical devices, and such they wish to use to sustain their life, wellfare, and well being, without having the WILL of the United States government and its affiliates imposed upon them, i.e. products and treatments NOT yet "legally approved" here in the U.S. This Amendment would be in support of life, or "Pro Life," much like the Bush Administration argued in favor of Terri Chiavo.
