I would ask the poster what what he do if the prescribed drugs don't ease the pain and suffering of either himself for a loved one. Do we then let the Dr prescribe codeine or other habit forming drugs to dull the pain and suffering? Do we believe that is ok because it is prescribed by a Dr.even though those drugs are extremely addictive. And, I don't think the younger generation, our kids and grand kids are interested in Medical Marijuana. If they want recreational marijuana I'm sure they know where they can get it in their neighborhood.
