MARIJUANA NEEDS STUDY
To paraphrase an old axiom, "Any patient who acts as his own physician
has a fool for a physician." Marijuana should not be accessible to the
general public for several reasons.
First, it has not been studied thoroughly, yet, with respect to its
efficacy and side effects. Second, the layperson without any medical
training cannot be trusted to use it appropriately or effectively.
Third, there are already on the market marijuana pills that can be
prescribed by a physician on a case-by-case basis.
