A quick item from our Aggressive Stupidity files. Whom would you trust more on medical issues?The California Narcotics Officers Association, from its official training materials: “Marijuana is not a medicine. … There is no justification for using marijuana as a medicine.” [emphasis in original]
Or…
The American College of Physicians, from its position statement on medical marijuana: “Preclinical and clinical research and anecdotal reports suggest numerous potential medical uses for marijuana. … Given marijuana’s proven efficacy at treating certain symptoms and its relatively low toxicity, reclassification [out of Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act] would reduce barriers to research and increase availability of cannabinoid drugs to patients who have failed to respond to other treatments.”
