There are many legitimate uses for marijuana...

... and I think our Federal attitude is extremely short-sighted. Tremendous appetite stimulant for AIDS patients undergoing the body wasting associated with that terrible disease. Works as an anitemetic for some chemotherapy patients where nothing else will. Lowers intraocular pressure for glaucoma patients (although there are other viable alternatives in almost all cases). And on, and on. Further study and support(federally-funded), would be the appropriate, compassionate course.

My experience would seem to indicate a somewhat lax application of the CA rules for prescribing.
I practiced in Watsonville for 5 years; just a short hop down Highway 1 from Santa Cruz. My patient population included lots of late teens / early twentysomethings. I lost count of how many patients had a medical history negative for any health issues, but positive for "medically prescribed marijuana". Lots of "nudge-nudge", "wink-wink".


When life hands you a lemon, trade it for a lime and break out the tequila!
