- But that's not the problem. HERE'S THE PROBLEM ----> He won't.
Why?
Because BIG PHARMA (read, Wall Street) in particular and the medical community in-general knows without a doubt that even without their having to admit to the anti-cancer effects of cannabis, as well as the myriad of other physical benefits of cannabis that are just being discovered -- just the fact of making it available is going to kill their business model (not to mention all the other models that suck off it like the parasites they are - I'm looking at you: blood-sucking lawyers and you private prison lice). Which is a model that's built and survives only upon allowing people (us, the unwashed) to get sick and die while they are charged up the yin-yang for the privilege, often losing lose our homes and everything else in the process.
All, so that the money ends up back home where it started in the banker's pockets.
WTF happened to: ''by, of and for the people?''
And these are just the doctors. They have the most to lose but I guess their consciences wouldn't allow them to remain quiet any longer. Like Sanjay.
In a recent survey of physicians conducted by WebMD, a majority of respondents said it was time to legalize marijuana nationally. Among the doctors that responded:
• 69% say medical marijuana can help with certain treatments and conditions.
• 67% say it should be a medical option for patients.
• 56% support making marijuana legal nationwide.
• 50% of doctors in states where it is not legal say it should be legal in their states.
• 52% of doctors in states considering new laws say it should be legal in their states.

- The time for convo is over. Gird your loins Barack and do you damned job.
- Otherwise the entire MIC could be under threat of obsolescence, but you make an excellent point. On the other hand, the market for doctors, hospitals, fancy-smancy hi-tech medical procedures, nursing homes when they don't work, the cancer treatment facilities, the diabetes and kidney dialysis clinics, and pill and after pill after pill -- not to mention private prisons, piss-testing labs, legal industry, and the orange uniform industry, is on one side of the balance and which is [font size=3]HUGE[/font] maybe even trillions!
While the MIC is paltry by comparison on the other side generating meager billions for a few privileged high-tech aero-industries mostly. Especially since we've gone to doing mostly remote-control wars. But then, they have all the guns too.
A: I wonder what Goldman thinks?
This is a good reason why one should not let one's kids grow up to become marriage councilors!
