Physicians and Medical Marijuana
Marijuana has been demonized, glorifed, and now increasingly “medical- ized.” A well-funded effort is under way to spread the legalization of “medical mari- juana” by means of referenda and state legislation beyond the 16 states and District of Columbia where it is currently legal. Dispensaries are generally set up to sell the marijuana, with restrictions varying from strict to almost nonexistent. Individuals must have a recommendation and usually a diagnosis from a physician to obtain a “medical marijuana” card.
