Well he used the sunglasses smiley, but that doesn't necessarily mean he was joking. Anyway, I guess I wasn't necessarily saying you were wrong in assuming he was being sarcastic, I was merely opening up the possibility that maybe he truly was being serious.

In the news segment I watched, this was confirmed not to be the case by the medical personnel interviewed. They said people who don't seriously need medicinal marijuana are essentially taking advantages of legal loopholes and it's morally undermining those who are really in need of the drug, and it's bringing into question whether or not we can continue providing the service in parts of California.


Recreational cannabis use is illegal and it's that way for good reason, it's been established that there are no societal pros of marijuana and that there are outward unnecessary risks that come with the side effects of using it. The idea is that taking advantage of a legal benefit as some people are undoubtedly doing and turning it into a more or less recreational form of the drug brings into question the very idea of whether or not that legal benefit is even worth it. That's what these once pro medicinal marijuana advocates were saying in this news segment.
