From Time Goes By

Guest Blogger Elaine Frankonis: Easing Into Death:

"According to a 1999 Gallup poll, 73% of Americans are in favor of 'making marijuana legally available for doctors to prescribe in order to reduce pain and suffering."

12 states allow it. 38 don't. How cruel...

As one reader commented here, "Given all the other legal medications doctors can prescribe I've always had difficulty understanding the justification for excluding marijuana. There are benefits and negatives associated with all our meds, but we're allowed to use them."

Is it because the powers that be are simply too embarrassed to admit that they are wrong about marijuana?

The debate goes on... and this is a well reasoned post for you to read.

  2. Yes. The whole 'War on Drugs' has been a pack of lies from the very beginning...
