Question by caltam84: I know that possession of marijuana is illegal. In other countries like Malaysia, aren’t the laws too harsh?
This is Calvin. When a person like a medical patient needs medical marijuana, shouldn’t the patient have it because it is given by the doctor (and the patient didn’t request for it). Because of that reason for medical use, use laws in other countries like Malaysia be more compassionate about this? It seems that there’s heavy penalties for even the patients.

Why are laws like in Malaysia or Singapore don’t show compassion with these patients in need of medical marijuana to stay alive? In my opinion, medical marijuana patients should be treated w/ some compassion b/c they don’t act as criminals and they do it just to treat serious pain or stay away from death.

Shouldn’t a person who possess just one gram of marijuana be treated for rehab. and receive help to get rid of the nasty addiction instead of punishing the person for life sentence? I am saying that even people who need help to cure drug addiction should get help instead get the death penalty. What good does jail do?

medical marijuana is just a THC pill, its not like a joint or anything. it shoould be legal anyway, its less dangerous than cigarettes, even though the government lies. if not legalized, then at least decriminalized (people cannot go to jail for posession of weed)
