It was ruled back in the Jolt days that since marijuana is primarily used for recreational purposes, medical marijuana proposals must be in the Recreational Drug Use category.

Medical Marijuana Act
Category: Recreational Drug Use
Decision: Legalize
Description:
THE WORLD ASSEMBLY:
UNDERSTANDS that each nation within this august body has it’s own individualized laws regarding recreational drug use inside its borders.
RESPECTS the right of each nation to make such laws due to the lack of international law on the subject.
REALIZES that some patients receive inadequate and/or substandard treatment due to the limitations of pharmacology and dispensary restrictions within their nation of residence.
BELIEVES that medical professionals should be able to prescribe evidence-based treatments for their patients’ use when standard courses of therapy prove to be ineffective or insufficient, with specific stipulations.
DEFINES “medically essential drug” (MED) as a medication or treatment that is necessary to improve management and treatment of a patient’s medical condition but is specially regulated and/or restricted within a given nation per national and/or regional laws.
REQUIRES, at minimum, for member nations to allow their citizens medicinal access and medicinal use of MEDs.
PERMITS member nations to place any/all of the following restrictions on the medicinal access and use of MEDs within their sovereign borders:CLARIFIES that nothing in this proposal limits a member state's ability to outlaw or legalize recreational use of MEDs or other drugs.
- Patients may be required to try the standard of therapy for a sufficient duration to allow for adequate symptom control to be obtained. Patient-specific waivers must be available, in the event that such a trial would result in untenable adverse harm.
- Practitioners who prescribe MEDs may be required to obtain a special certification, in order to ensure that all MEDs are being used solely for medicinal purposes. The certification must have reasonable and attainable standards.
- Member nations may require MED dispensaries to institute reasonable security measures to prevent theft and/or unauthorized possession of MEDs.
ALLOWS for further WA legislation on this subject, provided that patient access to MEDs are respected, as laid out in this text.

I can't, the ruling was made back in the Jolt days. But if I remember correctly the ruling was made by Hack so take your complaints to him.

Dry-run question now: will this draft allow member states to reduce the prescription of medical marijuana provided that there are reliable or better alternatives to such issue?

Amphetameroin wrote:Also, I'll just leave this here. If the Ambassador of Mousebumples wishes to collaborate on any future acts or legislation, or wishes critique on this current one, I would be very happy to offer my assistance in the matter. I'm pretty experienced in dealing with these matters. Drugs have been legal in my nation since it's inception and it has only strengthened my Nation as a whole.
[OOC] No but seriously, I am a pre-med student with an undergraduate major in Psychology, with specialization in addiction, psychoactive drugs, and mood disorders. And a healthy dose of pharmacology as well. I'm not saying this to flaunt my massive ego, because I'm not a doctor whatsoever and have years to go and it's not like I'm at the top of my class. But I have extensive knowledge in this area including the laws surrounding it. So please, if you need my assistance I can offer you alot of my time and my knowledge in the area of psychoactive drugs.

Rules for GA Proposals wrote:Category
Category violations are pretty simple things, and often happens with 'Social Justice'. If your Social Justice proposal doesn't deal with "reduc[ing] income inequality and increas[ing] basic welfare", you've got the wrong category. This also includes proposals to ban guns forever being labeled as "Gun Control: Relax". This also includes Medical Marijuana Proposals under Human Rights, by the way.
