  Can't agree with you about medical marijuana and would only add that 
the distinction is unnecessary, because as Marshall McLuhan rightly 
pointed out, the difference between the potheads and the drinkers is a 
cultural, not moral, orientation, understanding that culture rests in 
great part on the senses. That one or the other sense/culture is 
rational and the other not is totally a prejudice of the hyper-literate. 
I say this as a happy and quite moderate beer drinker addicted latterly 
to non-fiction & who could not attain to bourbon or pot.....my 
incapacity for the finger-measured drink probably cause for suspicion...

Cheers,
Ken Armstrong
