thats where we differ.

i believe there should be much more stringent guidelines that dr's must be required to adhere to. right now, anyone who walks into most MMJ dr's offices with nothing more than a sad story and a prescription bottle can get a recommendation. i dont think thats right. thats like walking into a dr's office and telling him you have a problem and him just saying "ok" without examining you and writing you a perscription for shit like oxycontin or methadone. i think that before a dr should be allowed to issue a medical marijuana prescription they should have to completely document a patients medical history, send for medical records for at LEAST the last 2 years, and THEN after reading them and examining the patient, make the decision to issue a recommendation. i PERSONALLY KNOW over 30 different people who have gotten their recommendation without ONE SINGLE PIECE OF DOCUMENTATION or any records, and the majority of them dont have a damn thing wrong with them whatsoever. most of them are good friends, and know my views on the whole issue too. when i got my first recomendation, i got it from a dr in grass valley. i didnt do anything other than walk in and tell him about my medical problems, no records,ect and without batting an eyelash, he wrote me a recommendation for 5lbs/50/25,just on my say so. granted, i have well documented records myself (my current dr told me i had more documented verifiable shit wrong with me than any 3 of his patients) but when i got my first rec. the dr didnt require shit.

dont you think theres something wrong with that picture?

as far as them making money hand over fist, that wasnt being down on them at all. they ARE making money hand over fist. if i were a dr, as much as they make per visit per patient, id specialize in writing MMJ rec's.

the way i see it, the only ones who would have a problem wit that would be those people who just want to smoke it for recreation with no medical roblems, as those sorts of guidelines would not allow them to get a phoney bullshit recomendation
Lol. Dude, they're not issuing, as you put it, "medical marijuana prescriptions willie nillie". The fact that a patient is utilizing various prescription meds to treat a problem more effectively addressed through the use of cannabis is more than a valid reason for a doctor to recommend cannabis.

You can take your more "stringent guidelines" and place them where the sun don't shine as far as I'm concerned. You're just another prohib-lite interested in persecuting folks who gain useful benefit from our herb of choice.

Instead of demonizing folks who use cannabis, why don't you go count your money or sumtin?
