Now if states would just expand the "list" of medical issues that qualify. Some states (like mine) have 4 or 5 that qualify and deny everyone else who have no treatment options (viable, that work without side effects, that don't cost $600 a month). Gotta love how our govt. makes so many of us into "criminals". :)
the Great State of California included the following language in the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 (11362.5 H&S), specifically, so that MD's could make the decision, not legislators, as to what sorts of medical issues qualify:
(A)To ensure that seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes where that medical use is deemed appropriate and has been recommended by a physician who has determined that the person's health would benefit from the use of marijuana in the treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief.
if only it was OTC, like aspirin...well...a girl can dream, can't she?[:)]
