It should be regulated like alcohol or tobacco, but any claims of "medicinal" value should have a basis in research.moviedochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03617061594621924756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627739177988026073.post-61117188460717731292012-10-07T09:04:57.244-07:002012-10-07T09:04:57.244-07:00The chaos shows in this article in today's Sea...The chaos shows in this article in today's Seattle Times: http://ht.ly/ehCoC<br /><br />Calling something "medicine," natural or not, doesn't change what it is or what it does. Allowing it to be legally "authorized" or prescribed corrupts medicine, just like prescribing opiates has corrupted many physicians. This physician wants no part of the charade. <br /><br />I like this quote from the Times article: "It makes it more difficult for law enforcement to separate out who's doing it for medical purposes and who's doing it for profit purposes.<br /><br />"And not so shockingly, a lot of times it's a mixture of both."<br /><br />Difficult? I say impossible. What someone uses it for, or how they rationalize its use is none of the state's or DEA's business as long as it's used responsibly.moviedochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03617061594621924756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627739177988026073.post-76114675246081713652012-10-07T08:57:15.031-07:002012-10-07T08:57:15.031-07:00Effective for what?

Several good studies document the risk and on a clinical level, marijuana use is a risk factor for admission to a hospital. An informed consumer needs to keep in mind that marijuana for one purported use or another does not meet safety and efficacy standards of other medications. Anyone skeptical of FDA approved medications should apply that level of skepticism to anything that has not gone through that vetting process.George Dawson, MD, DFAPAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474899831557543486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627739177988026073.post-7454486377465908912012-09-13T21:59:46.828-07:002012-09-13T21:59:46.828-07:00I've heard alcoholics say the similar things a...I've heard alcoholics say the similar things about alcohol.

A counselor I met told me she knew many people with bipolar disorder who were greatly helped with marijuana, because it calmed their racing thoughts. I personally met someone with bipolar disorder who smoked medical marijuana every morning and night. I thought that was excessive, but she swore it was keeping her calm.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030949818467743750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627739177988026073.post-65032301842189891192012-09-13T19:49:54.015-07:002012-09-13T19:49:54.015-07:00You choices on how to proceed are strikingly simil...You choices on how to proceed are strikingly similar to the predicament that physicians face who are prescribing opioids for chronic pain and have a contract in place prohibits the use of any drug prescribed outside of that clinic.
