You can read California's Proposition 215 for yourself here. The salient points are these:

(A) To ensure that seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes where that medical use is deemed appropriate and has been recommended by a physician who has determined that the person's health would benefit from the use of marijuana in the treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no physician in this state shall be punished, or denied any right or privilege, for having recommended marijuana to a patient for medical purposes(my highlights)

A law like this is pretty wide open and subject to abuse. One can easily make an argument against medical marijuana laws written this way.

or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief.

Thanks for the laugh of the day, robertpaulsen!

Why do you care so much? Okay, I can definitely tell you that marijuana helps with anorexia from personal experience.

Why do you care so much about the 'dangers' associated with marijuana? There are many who are addicted to OxyContin, for example, yet it's still prescribed. There are crappy side effects for everything.

Personally, I'd prefer having slightly blackened lungs to wasting away.

Totally agree.
After all, it is Californicia..what other kind of law would one expect?
