We wrap up our week of discussions on cannabis and chronic pain with Dale Gierenger, coordinator of California NORML, and Doug Hiatt, a criminal defense attorney in Washington, talking about legal medical marijuana patients who are then denied narcotic painkillers when testing positive for THC.

I am the producer of The NORML Network, the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog, and NORML's Outreach Coordinator. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" and I travel across the country to educate people on marijuana reform. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to give voice to the Marijuana Nation and to speak for those who can't speak up.

I, Have been on painkillers for 10 yrs now, Had to drug test since 2004 to keep on the DEA list. The V.A pharmacy call’s it a contract. We have just passed medical marijuana in mich ,Yay …. But I have to not indulge so i can get my meds to help with the pain legally, so the V.A wastes or tax money to make certain you are actually taking and not selling the crap. MAD AS HELL!
