Since the last time Firing Line discussed marijuana (#S1115), the California referendum legalizing it for medical use had had conflicting repercussions, with several other states putting similar initiatives on their ballots, but also with California Attorney General Dan Lungren saying that it had opened sales to people with no relevant medical status whatever.

But they all agreed that for medical purposes it was a necessity."
