Re: Meadow is the Amazon of weed
#2Jesus Christ, what a hypocritical world we live in. Such Orwellian doublethink to maintain the pretense that only 'patients' are receiving 'medical marijuana' from 'dispensaries', otherwise the powers that be might shut the whole thing down in a fit of 'reefer madness' paranoia about the collapse of society. Maybe it'll take two or more generations of maintaining this ridiculous charade, everyone admiring the Emperor's rather fine clothes (in this case, an imaginary white coat and scrubs), before recreational use becomes so normalized that everyone can just drop the game. I mean, I don't live in the USA so I don't know what it's really like there on the ground, but does anyone really believe this "medical marijuana" business at face value?

The only negative thing about it I see is that doctors are willing to give you a BS script.
Friend of mine went to a doc and complained about an old knee injury to get medical weed and the doc just wink-winked him a prescription.
Then again, I would do it if I was in the US and smoked and anything to decriminalise this is a good thing.

It's worth calling out that this article is from August 2017. As of January 2018, California has legalized cannabis, so the "medicine" doublespeak is no longer necessary in this specific case.

Doesn’t the charade corrupt the integrity of the medical profession?

#6Was marijuana the blockchain of 2017? Where as long as you aligned your product with weed, even if it was actually a pretty generic product, there was suddenly extra interest?

No, that's what happened when you disconnect medical science from law and instead use culture and moral as legal basis.
There is no good decision here, the alternative, refusing on medical ground is not correct either. There is no medical ground to refuse the guy some weed, when it is perfectly legal for him to buy unlimited quantities of alcohol which, medically, is as bad or worse.
In both cases, the law puts the doctor in a position where he needs to bullshit. Some will chose to ignore the global context and look at the patient request in isolation, other will do the opposite.
edit: also "pain" is intrinsically difficult metric for a doctor.

In California, there is no such thing as a “prescription for weed”. You don’t get one from a doctor, the dispensaries don’t describe it as such.
What you do get is a recommendation by a doctor that you would benefit from cannabis. This is a critical difference. It’s merely a doctors opinion you would benefit.
And as many have noted, sone doctors appear to hold the opinion most adults would benefit. They might not be wrong.
Btw, old injuries can have lasting pain for the rest of your life. Difficult to control pain. Medicine recognized this in the 90s, and one result was the opioid crisis. (Turns out opioids aren’t great for chronic pain.)
Oh and it isn’t a bs script either. Because it’s not a script. As I noted above. To quote a certain movie, that’s funny not a single word you just said was correct.

Perhaps I did just completely misquote what my (Californian) friend told me.

I agree it's a silly workaround. What's done in your country?
