Talk:Legal and medical status of cannabis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Rename or merge

I suggest this page be renamed to 'Medical status of cannabis' or be merged into another article. There is already Decriminalization of cannabis in the United States & Legal issues of cannabis, so I think this should be strictly about medical status.

I've already added merge tags, and it looks like it should be merged into legal status due to massive overlap. Legal and medical status are one and the same. —Viriditas | Talk 09:34, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

"Legal and medical status are one and the same" There places that have rescheduled cannabis for medical issues, which this page explains. That is different than reducing punishments or allowing non-medical use. So, they are not one and the same. I was saying that this page only really tells about medical cannabis and not cannabis for non-medical reasons, that is why I suggested renaming it--at least unit it is merged.

[edit] NPOV

I'm concerned that this article is heavily slanted to a pro-legalisation POV, particularly in the section regarding the United States. The tone doesn't seem entirely appropriate for an encyclopedia. Does anyone agree, or am I way off base here? Carom 20:36, 28 February 2007 (UTC)


Looks factually accurate to me. -- Davidkevin 13:36, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


Well if you feel that please edit the article to make it more balanced and NPOV, SqueakBox 20:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
