I'm very happy to announce that New York now has medical marijuana dispensaries. One just opened near me. I'm not giving the exact location because I don't want crazy people knowing where I live. You have to go to an authorized doctor to get a prescription. And you get medicinal cannabis in liquid form or a pill. I see this as excellent good news. A start toward treating people with drug needs as patients rather than criminals. Colorado is doing really well with their policy. worth a Happy Dance
Canada's top court strikes down the "you can't grow it at home" law. Medical Mary Jane becomes legal in Australia.
What's going to be interesting, I believe, is when people start submitting Obamacare insurance claims for Marijuana prescriptions...
according to this: http://www.cnbc.com/2016/01/05/a-look-inside-manhattans-first-medical-marijuana-dispensary.html I'm guessing they will see how the program goes before they decide about insurance. good news for people in pain. One of my mother's friends had a husband who had cancer. He was unable to eat easily. If he had been able to get this treatment he might have been able to at least feel comfortable during the last years of his life.
Why would that be? Morphine is a way way way much heavier drug though I guess it'd be covered by most insurance companies?
