RETURN OF POT WRONG

I can't believe a judge gave Greg Brown back his pot. The man didn't even
have a current doctor's recommendation, just an oral approval. Why doesn't
a doctor have to write a prescription in order for a patient to buy marijuana?

If it is indeed a medicine, it should be treated as one. It should be
dispensed by a doctor or pharmacist. I am not allowed to grow, cultivate
and distribute my own penicillin. Greg Brown was smoking pot because he had
a backache and an upset stomach. That describes about 90 percent of us 90
percent of the time. I wonder how the world would function if we all
decided to get high whenever we had acid indigestion.
