I followed a case for some time last year awaiting the final outcome earlier this year, and now that I've seen the results regarding DOMA, I'm going to draw a question of the parallel. I'm not even interested in the reasoning behind either decision, I'm just pointing out the inconsistency.
The federal government now recognizes and affords full benefits for same sex marriage in the states that have legalized same sex marriage.
On the other hand, the DEA is still making busts in states that have legalized medical marijuana, and it's a federal offense. The sentences are so off the chart that most agree to a plea bargain, so going to the Supreme Court is off the table as well. But then, there's big money in Big Pharma, and citizen captivity in this particular issue.
I will offer this perspective. Nowhere in Scripture is marijuana forbidden, but it is in most states, so the people suffer. Until Big Pharma came along and realized they couldn't have a patent, it was legal in the United States. Torah, on the other hand has plenty to say about sexual sin. The LGBT issue is not my sin of choice, although; I've chosen to commit a few myself, there is no question as to where our Creator stands on the subject.
Our Federal government has taken upon itself to keep nature illegal; while legalizing that which is unnatural.
