"sick people who use it so they can keep the medications that battle cancer "

Really now.

"Oregon's medical marijuana program has a "very lax system of review and oversight," Magee said. "The law is riddled with loopholes for abuse." Qualifying conditions such as "severe pain" or "persistent muscle spasms" are so vague that they allow little rigorous control over misuse, he said."

More than 80 percent of the current cardholders cited severe pain on their applications. About 30 percent cited persistent muscle spasms, and 22 percent cited nausea. Applicants often give more than one medical reason."

Cancer? Hello? Where's all the cancer patients? AIDS? Glaucoma?

Hmmmm. Pain ... muscle spasms ... nausea ... wait a minute. Doctors have to take the patient's word for those. Aha!

You're baaaack with your tired argument. I'm still waiting for you to obtain a signed physician statement. You remember my challenge. Otherwise, shut up and try and to learn something.

Yo Bobby, you must be the great-great-grandson of Harry J. Anslinger. You really carry that anti-marijuana torch high.

What drives your crusade? Did you have a close friend or relative that died from a marijuana overdose?

Doctors have to take the patients word on a lot of things. Doctors prescribe pain medication based on patients telling their doctor they are in pain. They also often prescribe benzodiazepines to people suffering from restless leg syndrome and as far as I know there is no medical test to confirm RLS.
