Certainly looks like the Medical Marijuana debate is over.
The medical marijuana debate among American voters is over.
Eight in 10 Americans -- 81% overall -- support allowing doctors to prescribe cannabis, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll.
That's up from just 69% in 1997, the last time the two firms asked that question, and from 75% in 2003, according to Gallup.
The main divide among American voters today is how the medical community should be enabled to doll out the drug. The most recent state to allow medical marijuana -- New Jersey -- has the most strenuous controls found anywhere in the nation.
A slim majority, 56 percent, support differing to a doctor's discretion on who should be prescribed marijuana, according to the poll.
In spite of the apparent national mandate for medical marijuana, just 14 states allow it.
Its really not constitutional for the federal government to illegalize that. It technichally has no power to do so.
Good, then liberals can spend their time getting high and expecting the rest of us to work to support them.

Yes, because nothing says Conservatism and limited Government like throwing people in the slammer for 10-15 for Pot. Ahh, the smell of hypocrisy in the morning sure is fresh, or is that afternoon where you are?
"81% of Americans Favor Legalizing Medical Marijuana"
Personally I don't advocate legalizing medical marijuana, I advocate legalizing marijuana period, why should only sick people get to get high?
Do you know what smells worse? The fact that most liberals spent the last 150 years turning the federal government into a national government and then complain about the fact the same government puts you in jail to long for minor drug use.
It seems like you guys wanted the big gun but then shot yourself in the foot with it.

Lol. Well when 81% of this nation pretty much agrees on something it's hard to get partisan. Somehow you people managed to do it.
Thing is, you can say what you want it ain't the leftists standing in the way of this one... it's the Christian Right... that likes to say they believe in "small government" to have some legitimacy with the rest of the Republicans. The neo-coons... who want a big christian values government. Damn shame... because they have their influences in both parties.
The right needs to get rid of the "values voters" for the world to change.

Bottom line is, it's should be an issue for the states to decide and the Federal Government should have no say in it (since the Constitution doesn't explicitly give them the authority to do so).... it'll still end up being partisan but at least it'll be partisanship at the state and not the national level.
