(Re: "Control marijuana.") This viewpoint only serves to provide profit to the big drug companies. If a person can produce herbs in their garden that treat their own medical conditions, they should be allowed to so without paying through the nose to support corporations. Being allowed to grow something that is used for your own well-being is one of the most basic human rights we have and is clearly supported by the Constitution of this country.
