LEGALIZE MARIJUANA FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST THE SICK AND ILL. its bullshit and i hope some people agree with me on this, because think about it, people everyday are trying to get disaeases or whatever is needed to get medical marijuana, and alot of people probably fake it to and some doctors are probably crukked[/QUOTE]

It sucks, but we need to go 1 step at a time. It won't get legal for general use until the Gov't actually funds some research on the values of MJ. I understand wanting to get it legal across the board, but we need to first get it to those that need it medicinally. Only after this will the benefits for general use get any type of attention.
Yes, people that don't really need it do get their authorization. The most common reason is chronic pain (more specifically low back pain). It's hard for a Dr to do a complete review of someone's medical hx in the few mins they see the new PT. If I recall correctly, any Dr or hosp HAS to take to heart what you are telling them or complaining about as a new PT.
