[QUOTE="JD8, post: 3127588, member: 24"] Let's go back and follow the context of the conversation. Someone said that they will default to doctors on this subject because they know more. I'm providing that they may or may not. When you have people managing pain or epilepsy with weed, the anecdotal evidence would at least be a primer for further study don't you think? Most doctors don't study these effects and it's hard to have empirical evidence of something they haven't been prescribing for 15 years or at all. That being said, my comments don't negate the validity of the medical community. From ACLs to childbirth I'll naturally default to a physician and always have. I have nothing but respect for those that are in the industry. My response was to a Medical Association dictating what's best for me. Given that they are the gatekeepers of the alternative here, and some of them collect a paycheck for prescribing it, again..... I'll protect myself when I can. However in this context, with THIS SUBJECT...here's what I do know, It would've been nice to have an option with my father when he was dying of cancer other than the pain specialist prescribing fentanyl patches. He did so even when I went to the appointment with my father and relayed that he can get confused with medications. Well....dad's sugar got low and he overdosed, and It put my father in the hospital. Granted my dad's issues were complicated but honestly I didn't see the reason to push fentanyl when he was managing with other meds fairly well. [/QUOTE]
