These people are hypocrites! He probably drinks and smokes cancer sticks. I wonder if he would change his small mind if he or a loved one got sick and their meds did not help.

And then some. Considering the benefits to patients in chronic pain and those suffering in other ways i.e., spasms, spasticity, wasting away from chemo etc., I propose the following policy / law be enacted to take effect immediately: "It is now illegal for any practicing physician to refuse any patient cannabis who might benefit from it." This would be enforced by the new office of "The Attorney/Surgeon General" since law enforcement is so determined to get involved in medical matters anyway. :2cents: "R" Russ, can we get a caduceus emoticon in here? How about a doctor and a hot nurse? A green cross? Regarding medical marijuana, it’s time for the pendulum to swing back the other way…and I mean aaalllllllllll the way back! And then some.

Fleming a few months ago simply suggesting he support the opening of dialog among legislators regarding the legalization of cannabis for medical applications. In his response, he included this observation: "I am concerned legalization of medical marijuana would send a message to our children that drugs are good." Since he did not specify illegal drugs, I suppose that means Dr. Fleming wouldn't want children to believe the pharmaceutical drugs he himself has prescribed are "good". It is very sad to see licensed, educated, and politically influencial physicians support so many outrageous lies which have been thoroughly exposed by thousands of scientific and medical studies. There are, in fact, valid arguments on both sides of the debate, but as long as those in power continue to quote worn out and debunked views, Americans will never get the benefit of the truth they deserve.
