Why?
“As a pain clinic nurse told me recently, all doctors could treat pain, but unfortunately very few choose to treat pain. A patient who requests pain medication is immediately suspected of being a junkie, labeled a ‘drug-seeker’ and treated accordingly. ... Often, patients are told that they are depressed. Gee, I can’t imagine why anyone living in constant agony, treated like a drug addict and ignored or yelled at by doctors would be depressed.” (07/23/03)

“The full U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote today on the issue of medical marijuana for the first time in five years. Medical marijuana patients and advocates will be watching closely to see whether Republicans from states that allow the medical use of marijuana will vote to protect their states’ patients from federal attacks. U.S. Reps. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) and Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), with the support of Reps. Ron Paul (R-TX), Sam Farr (D-CA), and many other House members, are planning to propose a medical marijuana amendment to the Commerce-Justice-State Appropriations bill.”
