[QUOTE="Will Brink, post: 113394, member: 2074"] A needed fed schedule change goes without saying. States have decided to push the issue on their own being tired of the illogical and profit motivated schedule I for marijuana. The catch 22 is most docs (and rightly so) ask for for data to recommend it, but little research gets done due to the schedule. There's more research out there than many realize (I was one of those who felt there was minimal research until I started looking), and from that Harvard source above: "[I]My advice for doctors is that whether you are pro, neutral, or against medical marijuana, patients are embracing it, and although we don't have rigorous studies and “gold standard” proof of the benefits and risks of medical marijuana, we need to learn about it, be open-minded, and above all, be non-judgmental. Otherwise, our patients will seek out other, less reliable sources of information; they will continue to use it, they just won't tell us, and there will be that much less trust and strength in our doctor-patient relationship. I often hear complaints from other doctors that there isn't adequate evidence to recommend medical marijuana, but there is even less scientific evidence for sticking our heads in the sand[/I]."
