There is plenty of scientific evidence supporting the medical utility of marijuana. A prime source is the federal government commissioned Institute of Medicine Report, released in 1999. Legal prescription drugs have many side effects, and kill 100,000 per year. Marijuana has no toxic dose and has never caused a death by overdose. Subjecting our sick and dying to such cruelty is a violation of everything America is supposed to stand for.
Illness can strike anyone at any time.
Every therapeutic option should be available and open to discussion by doctors and their patients.
