DOCS FOR DOPE

Marijuana is a medicine. Not many doctors are willing to make that kind of statement publicly, especially when U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration raids result in the jailing of physicians, terminally ill patients and state- licensed marijuana growers in states where the medicinal use of marijuana is permitted by law.

But Richard J. Wyderski, a physician at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, believes the benefits of the herbal therapy far outweigh the risks of pushing for legalization. In this case, he's publicly backing Senate Bill 343, most commonly referred to as the Ohio Medical Compassion Act sponsored by State Sen. Tom Roberts (D-Dayton).

SB 343 is similar to the medical marijuana legislation proposed by State Sen. Robert F. Hagan (D-Youngstown) in 2005. That law never received a hearing, but the new bill was the subject of expert testimony in November. The bill would create a "registry identification" card for individuals who use medical marijuana for specific medical conditions. Those with a diagnosis that fits the definition of "debilitating medical condition" outlined in the legislation would be able to apply for the card and use marijuana under the supervision of a licensed medical doctor. Those conditions include cancer, positive status for HIV, AIDS, hepatitis C, Crohn's disease, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, spinal-cord injuries and other chronic-pain syndromes.

"The Institute of Medicine report reviewed all the scientific evidence of the effectiveness of marijuana used as a medication for a variety of conditions," Wyderski says. "Muscle spastisity for multiple sclerosis is one of the most commonly used examples, but there's evidence it works for nausea - cancer patients who have nausea with chemotherapy."...

1. I wish more doctors would be as honest as you

I wish we could get the real information out to more doctors. There are so many people that we could save. Most people don't know the survival rate of chemotherapy. I saw the number 97%. And most people would think thats the rate of survival, thats not quite right. 97% of people DIE from chemo. Only 3%of people survive the treatment. Marijuana CURES cancer and hasn't ever killed anyone. And I know there are nay-sayers that will say it doesn't cure all cancer, but, how to do explain "run from the cure" , and the other 1000's of videos showing marijuana CURES cancer. Now I am willing to admit it might not cure everyone, but it would help everyone. May not cure them , but at least wouldn't hurt them. And good chance they would be cured. It would at least reduce the size of the tumor. please keep up the fight, more and more people are finding out there is a possible CURE out there.
