Doctors and patients could decide who gets medical marijuana under draft Mass. rules

You can check out my 3 posts on canabinoids or 17 on marijuana to decide how you want to respond to requests for comments. You have until April 10 to respond.
You could try the prevention route - a marijuana bud a day reduces stroke risk by50%.
or
the spasticity route
or neurogenesis
or neuropathic pain
or prevention as better than statins.
Whatever, tell them you need the ability to use it for whatever scientific proof comes along rather than limit it to current knowledge.

Draft rules for medical use of marijuana in Massachusetts, issued Friday by the state Department of Public Health, largely leave it up to doctors to decide which patients will qualify for treatment with the drug.
Patients must have a debilitating condition -- defined as causing weakness, wasting syndrome, intractable pain or nausea, or impairing strength or ability and limiting major life activities -- and the regulations list qualifying conditions, including cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, and ALS(you need to get stroke in here at least). But the rules also would allow doctors and their patients to decide what other conditions would qualify patients for treatment. Poorly written - nothing on preventing disability or use for rehabilitation.
Pay it forward, you must respond for future survivors. Get off your ass and do something.
