I'm in Michigan. My husband has cancer. He had been using pot to sleep. He was told by the VA, his insurance provider, that if they saw pot in his urine he would no get a bone marrow transplant that his this of cancer requires. Of course he stopped but it's pretty sad that the meds they gave him weren't working and those that did they take away.
They (doctors) actually do both. Prescribe pills when they aren't needed, people get addicted, can't get more, turn to hard drugs.
People who need them get pathetic prescriptions and can't get more because they "might" get addicted. They give you like a week's worth for a 3 months recovery. Just experienced this with my dad. 9 days of painkillers so I bought him a ton of weed to make up for it. Kidney issue means no aspirin so I kinda had to. Fucked my wallet up with all the munchy foods lol.

That's so wrong. "quit smoking pot or die"
Sounds just like that Reefer Madness movie.
They have no problem supplying opiates. This system is so messed up, and it is all based on big pharma not having their cut.
Western medicine has messed me up more than helped me. I don't trust them
The VA, or doctors in general? When my back was totally fucked, to the point I could hardly walk I could barely get any pain meds.
