LET DOCTORS, NOT THE AG, DECIDE ON MEDICAL POT
Recent data compiled from the Michigan medical marijuana program shows
that there are a lot of citizens who benefit from the medical use of
the plant. Where does "Dr. Bill Schuette" get off and attack doctors
who write the recommendations?
The law was speciLet Doctors, Not the AG, Decide on Medical Pot
fically designed to deal with zealots like state Attorney General
Schuette and others who want to enforce their narrow agenda of
corporate greed with corporate weed like the drug Marinol. Why is
Marinol a Schedule 3 drug and marijuana a Schedule 1 drug with no
medical value as defined by federal law?
Schuette should do what his employers directed him to do in November
2008 by supporting medical marijuana in Michigan by its citizens. Or
resign.
