A man was prescribed medical marijuana to help him cope with the very real physical symptoms of his Hepatitis C. He was given this prescription by a real doctor who saw it as a valuable treatment. The hospital in charge of the transplant list saw the patient as a drug addict and refused to put him on the organ recipient list. He's dead now.
This is beyond ridiculous. Why not deny people being treated with Oxycontin or Vicodin for cancer; maybe they're just in it for the painkillers! Maybe I shouldn't say that; these people would probably take it seriously. A prescription drug for a real illness from a legitimate doctor should pretty much speak for itself. Someone who just wants drugs doesn't go out and get a deadly disease first. Just look at him in that photo. Does that look like someone who doesn't need a new liver? And let's not ignore the fact that marijuana doesn't even harm the liver in the first place!
There is no reason to treat medical marijuana patients this way, no good reason anyway. I suppose that believing high school propaganda videos from the '50's would be a reason, but anyone who does so shouldn't be in charge of determining who lives and who dies.

The time has come when we ALL must choose which side we stand on; we must also focus on how to please God, for we only have 77ish years, dude, and only 2 realms after death and 1 of ‘em ain’t too cool. Choose Right, choose the Light, and win thy fight. the Warning shall come from Heaven sooner-than-you-think. I hope you’re prepared. Meet me in Heaven. God bless you.
