Stricter regulations are needed to ensure medical marijuana is used by those who really need it.
In multiple states, medical marijuana was approved to help those with chronic illness. In many cases, however, this has been abused by those who wish to obtain marijuana for recreational purposes, and those who wish to make a profit by distributing it. Regulations should ensure that only those who truly need it will receive medical marijuana.

No, I do not think stricter regulations should be placed on medical marijuana use.
Regulations should only be placed on people who are irresponsible and harm or threaten the safety and well-being of others through their use of medical marijuana. Quite frankly, people can threaten the safety of others with a plastic spoon, and they probably do this just as often as medical marijuana users do. I cannot conceive of placing regulations on plastic spoons. It's a waste of money.
No RavidbardeIRegulations have proved to be ineffective at combating marijuana use.
Marijuana has its medical uses, unlike a lot of other illegal narcotics. Regulation and control of this drug have repeatedly shown themselves to be ineffective and, in many cases, counter-productive. The effort to eliminate marijuana use leads to more crime and violence, rather than ending the use of this drug. There is no reason to believe that regulations and controls on its legal use will be any more effective than the even stricter regulations and controls on its illegal use.
No KnownEvanMedical marijuana is an effective form of medicinal treatment, and the rules outlawing it are wasteful and counterproductive.
Medical marijuana is an effective way to treat a variety of symptoms for many different conditions, and the rules regulating it are little more than market controls promoted by business institutions (pharmaceutical companies). A serious drug policy would legalize marijuana the same way that alcohol is currently legal but regulated and taxed.
