<font color=deepskyblue>I stand corrected on the ability of doctors to prescribe marijuana. I suppose I should have said they can recommend the use of marijuana, but that might even be too strong a term. Still, having worked in a hospital setting for 12 years now, I honostly thought they could prescribe, recommend, advocate, {or whatever} the use of cannabis to relieve the pain of cancer - but only in extreme cases. I do know for a fact that they can prescribe morphine in as large (and frequent) dose as needed to relieve pain if a case is terminal. They are allowed to make the last hours or days of the person as pain free as possible (at least in NC - I've seen this happen personally).
As for the complexity of the cannabis issue - I'd be interested to hear what the complexities are. As a non-user, I saw no problem with the way the email page was set up....but as we've just seen, I can be wrong.......occasionally. ;) </font> |

I can only offer the websit for NORML-The national organization for the reformation of marijuana laws- http://www.norml.org/index.cfm Personal use- http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3375 Medical Use- http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3376 Industrial Use- http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3377 I admit it is a biased source- but they offer references for their facts and the membership roster includes many doctors, and other professionals. Not just a bunch of stoned hippys is my point. ;) |
