While I would still say it's fine to use if you really have a use for it to relieve symptoms; it is very obvious that, in California at least, many people are using it simply to recreate.

I am intrigued by your snap diagnosis. What medical school did you attend, that you learned to be able to discern ailments from viewing a person on camera?
Further, it is a bit absurd, IMO, to suggest that, because a right is being abused by some, it should be denied altogether. The impression I got from reading the links supplied by Mithrandir was that the 'need' of the two users in question was not in doubt.
So what was 'naive' about your attitude as an 18-year-old that you have reconsidered now? Was it the intent of the proposition, or was it that the devil was in the details, and they were not formatted properly?
And you may call it righteousness
