The interesting thing is that there are so many mind altering, habit
forming drugs that *are* legal with a physician's prescription but
marijuana is seen as so *evil*.  

There is morphine and codeine, just to name two.  It really seems very
silly to me that *any* drug would be illegal with a prescription.

Of course it seems silly that we *have* to have a doctor's diagnosis and
prescription to get medication, but that is more than most people want to
think about.
