I have to agree with you on this topic. The argumentation they use to convince voters to pass this law is a very good one - medical cure, but unfortunately that is not the only reason that it will be used for. I think like you that financial interest is the main hidden reason behind it.
People that don't use it for medicinal purposes will start using it more because it will then be legal.
Lowell lives in CO where this was approved and can testify to the fact that people do abuse it. Those that have the license to buy the drug will do so and provide it to those who don't need it. Take for instance where he works as security guard he sees high school students smoking this in front of others but unfortunately can't do anything about it because they have a card that says they are authorized to do so.
Its just like now there are many controlled substances used to treat depression and "not anyone can" them but in reality it is a drug that many people use because it is provided or sold to them by those that "can" use it.
