> Ugh. Does the U.S. have to go through this phoney "it's really good for medicine!" process to legalize every drug?

While it should not be necessary tactic for ending the war on drugs, don't brandish the label "phony" when it comes to the medical benefits for marijuana and MDMA.

Marijuana has been extensively studied, more so than almost any other prescription drug available today, and its medical benefits are clearly established.

MDMA is not quite as over-exhaustively studied, but it's similarly been shown in a multitude of studies to have real medical benefit. Moreover, that medical benefit is for a disorder which is currently not possible to treat effectively with any other drug available, which makes it all the more important.
