I printed this story because I thought it was so obviously goofy. For those reading this out of state, Koppell once filled a vacant seat for Attorney General, but lost it later in election. Among those he beat out was a teenaged pretty-boy named Elliot Spitzer. Koppell has frequently advocated for legalized marijuana over the years.
I say this article is goofy, because Sewell is too dishonest to say that he is advocating more as a lawyer than as an MS sufferer. He did not say that he consulted with a doctor on the benefits of medical marijuana. He does not indicate that he inquired as to what other remedies are available for his symptoms. He knew pot was illegal, and some potheads told him that it might help, so of course he set his sights there. As a matter of fact, there are no symptoms currently being treated by medical marijuana that can’t be treated with other perscriptions. Including chronic pain, nausea, and loss of appetite. I know many MS sufferers. Not one uses marijuana. As a matter of fact, my sister-in-law has had the disease for over ten years. She was not above getting high in college. She has never used pot to treat her systems, and gets by just fine on the drugs her doctor gives her.
I haven't bought the one about global warmer, so why should I believe this one. LOL
I think an MD should be free to prescribe any preparation he sees fit. We trust them to dose out much more dangerous drugs then THP.
