Let's Plant Marijuana

Come April, it will be legal to plant marijuana in our backyards... but only if you have a chronic medical condition (http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/lifestyle/
health/chi-medical-marijuanamar20,0,1359482.story). This is probably old news if you voted for (or against) it sometime back, but it is worth revisiting.

As we age, some form of anatomical wear and tear would happen. With an aging population, the normal process of our body breaking down becomes a public health and policy concern. So here we have several issues to look at: Gerontology, medical ethics, law and order, medical economics,....

Whether there's a system in place to ensure that 100% of those home-grown marijuana is used for the legitimate medical purpose interests me. I chanced upon this BBC article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7942432.stm) and thought there might be common ground for us to do a comparative study.
