In which they opine that maybe patients shouldn't have driving privileges at all; another Albuquerque Urina, ..., er, I mean Journal, SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T EXIST. Their editorials usually read like RNC talking points if not platform.



So, now, medical patients can't drive at all. Not based on any uptick in drugged drivers, or any real study at all. (didn't RAND Corp. release a recent (real/ actual/ scientific) study that showed a decrease in car crashes in medical cannabis states. Oh yeah, I forgot; the study was suppressed.

Instead of informing the public that there have been virtually no objective studies of cannabis sponsored or approved by the DEA/ FDA in -? thirty years or so, they perpetuate garbage like this to people who don't have the time or inclination to find out the Truth.

This from one medical cannabis patient who has successively shucked one mainline pharmaceutical drug after another after being a patient; managed severe chronic pain and peripheral neuropathy w/o opiate analgesics for months now. And stopped using adderal, and other meds, happier for it.

I'm surprised no one has countered their position; I'd be surprised if they printed an opposing viewpoint.

Wait, what?
You read the Journal?

I cancelled my subscription back in 07 when I had enough of paying them to lie to me.
