Marijuana is a drug, even if it has some healing properties, many times it is used as a drug. If It should be used it should be legal in hospitals but illegal to use without a doctors instruction and care.

"“It did not make individualized prosecutorial decisions but a very blanket refusal to enforce federal law, contrary to the oath,” said Grassley. Because the administration has refused to enforce federal law, Grassley said, two states have been forced to ask the Supreme Court to protect them from the fallout within their own territories of Colorada’s marijuana legalization.“Nebraska and Oklahoma, rather than the federal government, have sued Colorado, as those neighboring states argue they face a significant increase in marijuana and other drug-related harms as a result of the Colorado law,” said Grassley."

"We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."
-John Ehrlichman White House Domestic Affairs Advisor 1969-1973

In late August 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice announced an update to their marijuana enforcement policy. The statement reads that while marijuana remains illegal federally, the USDOJ expects states like Colorado and Washington to create "strong, state-based enforcement efforts.... and will defer the right to challenge their legalization laws at this time." The department also reserves the right to challenge the states at any time they feel it's necessary. (http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/state-medical-marijuana-laws.aspx#2)
