don't they know the history of medicine?
So the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of prosecuting ill patients for using medical marijuana, overuling laws in 10 states. This conservatism is going to kill us.
Perhaps these rabid enforcers of our morality do not recall that aspirin came from willow bark and tons of other medicines used today also were derived from plants. Goodness knows synthetic narcotics are never abused, are they? Would they outlaw morphine? Of course not, because patients in horrible pain need it to survive. These mindless conservatives cannot seem to comprehend that the "evil weed" truly has medicinal properties, and these heartbreakingly sick patients have tried conventional drugs to hopeless disappointment. If a cancer patient needs THC to stop vomiting, to eat, to sleep, why in God's name would this court deny them that relief?
This selfish and misguided decision causes one to contemplate how these judges will feel when they or ones they love succumb to the ravages of disease which does not respond to "legal" therapies.
