I had to go to one of those "shady" doctors to get my legal recommendation because my GI doctor, who is supposed to be an expert on Crohn's disease, (which is what I have), said he was unaware of any connection with marijuana easing the symptoms. I have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease for about 6 years and only when I did my own research did I realize that I never should have quit smoking.

The reality is that many doctors, not pot doctors, but the ones driving fancy BMWs with their own quiet office in a respectable clinic, are not doing the research they should be doing, or are ignorant to marijuana being used as a medical drug. When I visited one of those "shady" doctors, not only was he more compassionate than my regular GI doctor, but he even told me it would be best to make it into a tea if possible, because marijuana can help heal inflammation in the stomach. That "shady" doctor seemed to know more about Crohn's disease than did my GI doctor, so I wouldn't marginalize them into the "greedy shady doctor" category!

I didn't see this 60 minute show though, if anybody spots it on youtube or Google video link it up
