Think twice before passing medical marijuana laws | 11/20/2015 |
State after state is legalizing medical marijuana, but doctors and patient groups aren’t demanding these laws. The AMA doesn’t want them, nor does the American Cancer Society.

Prescription cannabinoids are also much less likely to be abused or diverted to teenage use. And they’re more long acting, which is good for genuine patients who don’t want to be stoned all the time. So there’s no reason for anyone to smoke marijuana. The main people who benefit from medical marijuana laws are people who want to get high or who want to sell the drug. |
