Not what I expected from the Israeli right.  Thoughts?

Medicinal is logical. Recreational; not logical

To me weed is a divisive and petty thing to fight about. It also gives the left power over us. If weed is illegal, alcohol should be illegal. I understand it is not healthy, but we have the right to choose....it's between G-d and us.....

While you are right you are wrong. In your form of logic anything is ok and its a choice. Having sex with goats is a choice and there should be no laws about it since well men can engage in homosexuality so what's the difference? It's a victimless crime.

In Judaism, right is right and wrong is wrong. Judaism isn't left wing nor right wing nor libertarian wing nor socialist.

If it is medicine to save a life, then fine. If it is used for non medicine, it's bad.

"Likud-MK to-be"

This article is from January 2013.  Feiglin left the Likud.

I used to think Feiglin's view on marijuana was wrong.  But I have since then kind of stopped caring about it.   Marijuana is a non-issue to me.  And as I witness it being legalized all over America, I almost consider it a fait accompli that it will be legalized everywhere whether I like it or not.

:::D "Goats" that was funny Dan. If Gd is against it, I am too. Is there anything against it in Judaism? I don't use it, I just kinda think it's waste of a fight...

I believe the only law we should have is HaShem's!

 In one case G-D wrote it is forbidden explicitly with punishment involved . with weed it is not explicit . one can argue as a general rule that one should take care of ones health but just like donuts and fatty foods gov need not be involved.
