This open my eyes alot more then what i already knew. Alot more laws tgat need to change! So sad to see. We as people seem to be ither full hearted or zero hearted. No inbetween.
I'm offended by this sort of behaviour its not acceptable to deny someone a transplant its criminal
I'm a post-liver transplant patient haven't to poison medication such as Cyclosporin or Mycophenolate for 10 years this poison have the dangerous side effect. I just smoke Marijuana to replace this poison. All my monthly blood test looks good. But the stupid Physian try to speak science Jargon such as DNA and Genes and told me it is a must to take anti-rejection shit. DNA and Gene are just a Bluprint. I'm waiting for them to ask me the question then I sue them for broke and make sure they never practise again. Few of my Liver transplant friend end up with more sickness and other diseases such as Cancer.

Wow! Its ok for him to take hard narcotics but not medical marijuana.
Rest in Peace Norman. Most hospitals are in the life-saving business, I gets cedars-Sinai didn't get the memo. Shame on you cedar-Sinai
The real problem is mindless drones like Peggy Stewart.
Now with Marijuana in Cali legal for recreational use, do they consider that "substance abuse"??
Why can't people sell their organs? It would help many people.
cannabis oil it the healing smoking helps but the oil is from god..Amen search..for testimonial cannabis oil
I am 32 and in desperate need of a transplant and I agree with the dr on this because all you need to do is follow the rules! is that to hard for some people?
"We do not make a moral or ethical judgement about marijuana use. Our concern is for the health and safety of our patients." That's a lie. It's a LOT safer for a patient to use marijuana than it is a multitude of other pain meds, ESPECIALLY if they need a liver. It's well known and multiple studies have shown that painkillers as mild as aspirin and ibuprofen damage and cause scaring in the liver and kidneys. They also paralyze cilia (in the intestines, causing slowed metabolism, and in the ear causing tinnitus/'ringing' and even deafness) Painkillers (NSAIDS) also inhibit osteoblast activity (bone building cells) BTW, you should not be taking any sort of painkiller if you have a broken bone, because it slows down and weakens the repair.
what more data do you need ð¥
She's lying. They do discriminate morally. They actually do have a problem with donors who have tattoos and have been incarcerated. Their excuse being that they have risky life behaviors and therefore may have something wrong with their organs
fuck the gov
I would suggest using Colorado's model. Limit to thirty days the session of the state legislators. Limit each "representative" of the corporate state to two, (count 'em. two) pieces of legislation each. Works extremely well. Coloradoalmost forces citizens to partake in the state elections and session rules, they have cut property tax in half, the extortionate sales tax by nearly half and by God are clearly fed up with being told what they cn and cannot do. The Almighty gave  us ten commandments. those are the only laws we need. Fuck the State. Sic Semper tyrannis.
d if you take a drink at your close family weddings are alcoholics. One drink, and you are a certifiable Slobbering juice freaks. Living in a land of multiple standards, These shitfinishes are beyond my anger threshold.When's the last time we arrested someone for "i just puffed the reefer and went home and buried the axe in all their heads"? Got any other good ones? Methinks you are a liar regarding the entire relationship between man and the cultivation and use of plants.We WILL vote very swinging dick out of the legislature next election. We don't want corrupt and statist lawyers running our state and our personal business. Do like Colorado and use our referendum right to overrule the poorly disguised squank running uncontrolled manufacturing felons. Whatta bunch of insufferable asses. Next election folks, and they ALL go.. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â . ,
If I'd been this man, I would have tried to find another country that might have been able to help him, but from the other comments, I gather that he's already passed on. When are we going to wake up? And as far as the fungus that apparently grows on some weed, you'd think it would be destroyed once it's burned, if it's smoked and not ingested.
 We in the canna community need to change our donation agreements to read: "My organs to only go to persons testing positive for cannabis use."
@1:43"marijuana is considered substance abuse"
how can a Noun be considered a Verb? you stupid stupid bitch
I am so sorry they are giving you so much grief. It seems a persons life takes second place in when it comes to government involvement. Â They are upset because you are not using the pharma companies. I'm pretty sure you're getting your pot in a different place than big pharma.Â
Sorry bub, but you don't get it. Â And you aren't anybody to speak on the science of any of this. Â Leave science up to the scienticians, ok? Â Couch potato expert, much like the rest of the brainiacs in here. Â Not a single bit of science education at all. Â Wonderful. Â
I'd like to see a report that says even 1 person died from a liver transplant because of Marijuana usage :p
Of course you cant have a liver . U haven't been buying big pharma drugs all this time . God I would beat the breaks off that lady .
please point me to your facts and science
