Everyone is entitled to their own opinions about what should be, or what should not be, public policy. (Even Doctors and media types! <g>) As for myself, however, I come down on the side that says that the federal government has no valid Constitutional basis to ban a plant... and that, as a matter of governance - the federal government should not be in the business of criminalizing private behaviors of adults which do not pose a significant thread to society. And that the governmental 'cure' causes far greater demonstrable harm to society than the 'disease'.

I'm stunned. I would have thought him to be more knowledgeable that that. But he does illustrate one point. Doctors are required to have 0 credit hours, in cannabinoid treatment, to get a medical degree.

Odd.. The article was dated 1/8/2009. Yet within it the doctor says that CA plus 10 other states .. That information is a couple of years old. Since that time there has been major areas of study about cannabinoids and the good things they can do. This seems to be a reprint of something years old. Since he says that it had medical benefit then, he most likely has a better impression of it now.
