another trip to CO for medicine [View all]
I tell ya, the fact that many people smoke marijuana for stress relief should be sufficient reason to legalize right there. Much less toxic (to bodies, to relationships) than alcohol, much milder. It's also great for some pain relief.
Today's Pain Management clinics will drug-test you endlessly and marijuana is one drug they look for. If you test positive for weed, they kick you out of their program. The fact that these organizations (at the insistence of the DEA) will eject you for smoking weed is absurd and insane, especially considering some states have LEGALIZED it! In the same drug test, they look for meth, cocaine and other illegal drugs. Marijuana still on that list is ridiculous.
So if you test positive for weed in Colorado while going to a Pain clinic, do they kick you out? Even with legal weed? They sure do in Texas. This has to change. Obama could do this with a stroke of his pen and the fact that he will not is starting to REALLY piss me off. We know a Republican won't do it. If not a Democrat, then who?
