I'm not the one who you are responding to, but I can't help but make a comment here. The point he was trying to make is simply this: Just because Americans overwhelmingly favor allowing doctors to prescribe marijuana doesn't make them correct. Americans also overwhelmingly favor denying gays the right to legally marry. Does that make them right? Americans also overwhelming favor limiting abortions. Does that make them right? The attempt of the initial post was to garner support for medically prescribed marijuana, because a majority supports it. The argument doesn't hold much water.
