Like everyone else, I used to be opposed to medical marijuana until patients – who I trust — would come in and say ,”Doctor, the one thing that does works for me is in fact cannabis”, for whatever kind of condition. That was enough to get my attention.

Keep in mind these people are purely interested in getting help, not getting high or recreational use Patients are nowadays extremely well-informed about some of the benefits of medical marijuana. Furthermore, I spend a good hour every dawn catching up on the scientific literature of cannabis.
