DOCS HAVE BRAIN WAVE!
In what passes for newspapers these days, this shocking revelation was carried across the country this morning:
"Doctors in Canada are so skittish about the medical use of marijuana
that a third of MDs who have been asked to endorse a patient’s access to
the drug never agree to it, a Canadian Medical Association survey
suggests.
Another 25 per cent of doctors who responded to the
survey said they would “seldom” be willing to support a patient’s access
to medicinal pot; 64 per cent are worried that patients who request
medical marijuana may only want it to get high."

I got a bit of a revelation about "medical marijuana" many years ago, when a friend of mine showed me his well-worn prescription for the stuff, to help ease a bad back. We sat out on his porch while he fired up a prescription doob ... he took a long toke ... and then offered me a hit. Which I refused. Isn't there something just plain WRONG about sharing a prescription med?
Yo - Dave: I got some WICKED Tylenol here! Want a couple of tabs?
On the lighter side, I'm reminded of Jeremy Lloyd's one-liner on Laugh-In back in '68: "I guess The Beatles really are on hard times. Yesterday, I saw them all smoking the same cigarette!"
Lately the talk radio circut has more than a few supporters of legal pot. They all decry the gateway drug theory as nonsense. I always wonder how many coke users and heroin addicts started out using cocaine and heroin. Ill bet the family fortune that their first foray into the drug culture was pot.
