Dope smoking is a crime.

And that applies to this article, which deals with a ill boy who sucks on a doctor prescribed THC dervative lozenge that doesn't get him high, how?

Giving them access to that would do nothing for the pain they feel.Don’t you get it most who suffer from neurological pain hav done the narcostics route and all it does is make you out of it and still in pain.I sure hope yu never have to experince what they are talking about if you ever do then you will pay for the awful things you have said.Karma isn’t kind.

Well let’s just hope that you and all of the know-it-alls here never have to go through the kind of pain that is being described to you here.Then you can firsthand tell everyone about what BS it is or better yet watch someone you love go through this sort of pain.It has nothing to do with an agenda it has everything to do with quality of life and not spending every moment puking your guts out or being is so much pain that killing yourself starts to look like a good idea.BTW THC does not damage DNA and I hope you also never pro created the world has enough idiots without you adding to the pool.

ROFLOL, self determined pain is just that, does not mean you are in pain, go to hospital and get help. And stop making up fake problems.

LOL, pure BS, but one thing for sure people in this condition should be castrated so they cannot pass on their damage DNA.

Medical fraud is subject to a range of penalties from criminal prosecution to the revocation of licenses.

The father has released many pages of medical records to The Colorado Independent. The boy’s doctor has not yet returned our phone calls, so we are not releasing her name, but below we quote from a letter she prepared for the school district.

LETTER OF MEDICAL NECESSITY

Date: January 18, 2011 To: Whom it may concern

Regarding: redacted name

DOB: redacted date/1994

Diagnosis: Diaphragmatic and Axial myoclonus

Treatment: Sinemet 25/100 mg tablets, 2 tablets by mouth three times per day Zoloft 50mg at bedtime THC 10-50mg as needed for episode of breakthrough myoclonus

Rationale: Failure to respond to a host of other medications including Keppra, clonazepam, valium, morphine, benadryl, Xanax, inhaled lidocaine, Dilantin, Tegretol, Depakote, Flexeril, Artane, IVlg and Solumedrol. Previously, (redacted name) was taking benzodiazepines while at school for episodes of breakthrough myoclonus which was sedating and ineffective to control the symptoms. We now have (redacted name) on a medication regimen which actually helps reduce the frequency and duration of his spells, and have found a medication which reliably aborts the attacks (THC) when they occur.

Seizures are easily documented by an electroencephalogram, i.e. EEG. You're assuming that the seizures are caused by an acquired or inherited genetic defect.

No one said anything about self determined pain except you.Since seizures can be documented then it is your mouth against medical tests somehow I trust the test more than you.He was “at the hospital” and they did find him help with the THC.

Name the hospital and doctor and well see them answer to the licensing board. There are laws against quack medicine.

The whole damn story started out I don’t believe this crap, now in the end you say why don’t you believe this crap. Because pot is not a damn pain killer. Now go eat something I’m sure you have the munchies.

You have no clue at all.All you seem to do around here is run your mouth and make yourself look bad.I don’t really care if yu beleive the medical tests or not the doctors do.I’ve seen what it does for people taking chemo and also for people with chronic neurological pain and know it does work.Insulting me only makes you look bad and I could really care less what a person with your intellect thinks of me.

There is no way on earth to made a damn druggie look worse than they already do. And this crap about medical marijuana is just that crap.

You have no clue about who you are talking about and I am not a “druggie”.I just happen to have watched several family members go through chemo and think if something could relive something like that then it should not be against the law for them to do so.Making defamitory comments like that borders on cyber bullying so perhaps you should watch your mouth before someone sues you.

If you have a card/recommendation in many states, it isn’t. At least according to state law. I couldn’t care less about Federal law.

Whether you personally believe that the pepole getting the cards don’t actually need the card is totally irrelevant to that fact.
