Federal Government's argument - Since the US Constitution does not say anything about marijuana in it, the rule is as follows: If a topic isn't detailed in the constitution, then the state government has the power to make a ruling on said topic. However, marijuana is declared an illegal controlled substance by the United States government, and therefore they do not recognize state's ruling on the use of medical marijuana. Also, it's rumored that because the Federal Government can not *yet* collect taxes on marijuana sales, they feel left out.

Medical Marijuana - The use of marijuana for medical reasons is recognized by multiple states. Their main argument is that marijuana is a completely natural plant, and it is proven that marijuana usage DOES help for various medical issues such as pain, anxiety, depression, anorexia, insomnia, etc.
