Medical Marijuana
California recently approved a referendum permitting, in certain cases, the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. What do you think of doctors being allowed to legally prescribe the drug?
Julie Meyers,
Teacher
"I am permitted to smoke dope because I have, like, the flu and shit."
Adam Feuerstein,
State Senator
"One time when I was sick, my dad gave me a big fattie, only it wasn't the kind you smoke."
Michael Hiller,
Surgeon
"I am a Bay Area surgeon, and I recently pioneered a new open-heart surgery technique where a big bag of weed is dropped into the patient's open chest cavity. Results have been mixed."
Rajeev Thakker,
Architect
"I'd never smoke weed if I had cancer, man. I might freak out and get all paranoid and be, like, 'Whoa! I've got cancer, man!'"
Todd Pollack,
Lawyer
"Now if my doctor could just prescribe me some pizza delivered to my place, I'd be fuckin' set."
Cristina Tendero,
Systems Analyst
"I like to whip up a marijuana poultice and apply it to my muscles when they ache. I also pour heroin into some hot water for a dandy foot massage!"
