I did not see the piece with Mr. Morgan... But, I have talked to people about this subject and they were definitely voting NO! They had no reason other than it was marijuana...no research, nothing. They hear the word MARIJUANA and immediately envision their Grandkids cruising Sunset Blvd. with Cheech and Chong!

So, in the end, marijuana is a victim of it's own name. IF this medication had be called pfizhandioumin, with the associated 3 paragraphs of warnings and side effects, it would be a no brainer...

Just my 2 cents on this subject...
Mike. It appeared that it would not be prescribed, rather over the counter.

I just like to call it what it is...which appeared to be recreational pot.

Did you get it would be prescribed by a medical person, Mike?
