Doctor-recommended medical marijuana is already legal in a dozen states, with at least two more likely to legalize pot for medical uses in November. It has been shown helpful in treating nausea and pain associated with cancer, chemotherapy, HIV and hepatitis C; spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis; intra-ocular pressure in glaucoma; and a host of other conditions.

Yet the federal government refuses to recognize any valid medical use for the herb, and continues raids and arrests of medical marijuana patients and providers in states which have legalized medical use.
