Ross claims he tried nearly everything to relieve pain from a 20-year-old back injury before turning to marijuana. He finally tried the drug after his doctor recommended it. "It's been the best medication I've taken for my back since my injury," said Ross.

God forbid we let people use a natural medication to fight pain.

Aren't herbs (plants) mentioned in the Holy Bible as being given to us for medicine ?

Also those who condemn all consumption of alcohol forget that Jesus Christ Himself changed the water into wine, and Paul recommended a cup of wine for the digestion.

There is nothing wrong in the proper use or consumption of what gifts God has provided ; it is the ABUSE that is the problem.

Lastly, many , if not most, employers ask about health and medicinal history. Before condemning the man , all should realize that those medical question are used to negatively screen candidates. Persons who have suffered certain injuries, especially back injury, are quietly but most effectively discriminated against, in the fear that they will claim new injury and get monetary awards. It can actually be easier for an paroled felon to secure a new job through gov't/private programs than a person who has a chronic health problem
