If she's worked in hospitals then she should know that they have more "illegal drugs" than most street dealers. Depending on the type of surgery such as my aunts nose surgery they will use liquid cocaine to stop the blood flow and such. If cocaine can have medical uses I'd be willing to guess that marijuana does as well and no offense to your wife but many others (doctors, nurses and more) have put their weight behind marijuana and I doubt all of them are doing so just so they can smoke it.anygunanywhere wrote:Mrs. Anygun has been a nurse for 40 years and has worked every specialty except ER and OR.

If a patient is suffering pain then the doctor is at fault. There is no reason to prescribe pot for pain medication or appetite. The only reason pot has been legalized for medicinal use is because people want to use pot. Pain management is a specialty. If a patient is suffering they need to get another doctor that knows how to manage pain.
I am all for legalization. The war against pot is another example of a lesson we should have learned by the alcohol prohibition fiasco.

I'd much rather be prescribed marijuana for pain then be given a bottle of pills that have more potential side affects than an increased appetite, a dry mouth and reduced motor speed.
