a 56 year old prescribed medical marijuana user (to treat his hepatitis C symptoms) was DENIED a liver transplant BECAUSE of his dope usage, and died.
they said they couldnt put him on the list for transplants until he completed a 60 day drug treatment program, even though he was prescribed pot from his doctor.
what do we think about this?
Should using medical marijuana with a doctor's blessing be held against a dying patient in need of a transplant? It is considered an illicit drug under federal law..

Total B.S. Another casualty of the stupid and useless Drug War.

This is so sad. Marijuana is the the most harmless drug 56 year old man could be abusing. Even if he was on crack, doctors still shouldn't deny a person's right to live.
