Public Support for the Medical Use of Marijuana Posted: 03-24-08 19:57pm
This comes from Americans For Medical
Rights.
According to an Americans for Medical
Rights Fact Sheet, every medical marijuana
initiative ever placed before voters has
succeeded, with between 54% to 65% voting
in favor. In addition, every major
scientific poll of public opinion on
medical marijuana has shown overwhelming
public support for patients%u2019rights to
use marijuana as medicine, and for
doctors%u2019rights to recommend or
prescribe it.
That said, the laws must be
changed...where are the legal rights of
the doctors and patients? The legislation
truly needs to be changed and the sooner
the better. Lets get out of the stone age
and get real once and for all. No one is
suggesting a free for all "lets get stoned
and party" policy, although that law works
for alcohol. We just need the right as
people living with chronic or debilitating
or terminal illnesses to get and use
medical marijuana with out the threat of
being arrested and prosecuted and
imprisoned.
