> I am sure that if it was considered essential for a particular patient to have some marijuana for a therapeutic reason a way could be found in the existing medical establishment mpp.org >> The New York Times; October 15, 2003 The Supreme Court, in a silent rebuff on Tuesday to federal policy on medical marijuana, let stand an appeals court ruling that doctors may not be investigated, threatened or punished by federal regulators for recommending marijuana as a medical treatment for their patients. As a result, doctors in California and six other Western states where voters or legislators have approved marijuana for medical uses like pain relief may now discuss it freely with their patients without fear of jeopardizing their federal licenses to prescribe drugs. Advocates of medical marijuana greeted the court's action as a significant and surprising victory.<< Looks like Rock was partially right. If the state legislature approves, the Supreme Court will support it. But the use of "medical marijuana" will still be under the control of the doctor. The right of doctors to prescribe "medical marijuana" does not confer license on every Tom, Dick and Harry to use marijuana as they please and then cite a "medical" reason for its use.
